What Is An Inoperable?

An "inoperable" vehicle is one that cannot be driven on its own due to mechanical issues, damage, or missing parts. These vehicles often need to be towed or transported using specialized equipment. Leaving them unattended in public areas can also create safety hazards. Repairing an inoperable vehicle can be costly, depending on the extent of the damage or the parts needed.

How Does Shipping an Inoperable Car Work?

Shipping an inoperable car requires extra steps since it can’t be driven onto a transport truck. The process includes:

• Special Equipment: Carriers use forklifts, winches, or lift gates to load and unload the vehicle.

• Higher Transport Costs: More labor and equipment mean higher shipping rates.

• Longer Scheduling Times: Not all carriers are equipped to handle inoperable vehicles, so availability may be more limited.
