You can ship in on a truck from $500 to $1000. It just depends if they are near your pick up spot, and driving towards where u want it to go. So if its that case it will be towards the 500 range. Otherwise look to spend around 1,000.

make sure you get a trustworthy company. some companies treat your car like crap

alternatively, you can rent a uhaul truck + trailer and transport your car yourself.

+1 for transportreviews.com!! I just used them this last month to research a transport from Seattle, Wa to Orlando, Fl. I went with Specialty Mobile Systems but they just contract it out to someone local to you. They just play the middle man. It was an open transport and went very smoothly and the driver was very knowledgeable of my car. It had zero issues upon arrival but it needed a bath really bad!!

Definitely check out the website to help you decide.

That's what I'm doing, I'm trucking it myself with a trailer. I understand there are tie down points under the car. Certainly helps the confidence level that it's being done right by doing it myself.

You want the best? Go with CSL Transport. They're a bit more expensive than the others out there but they are the best. Give Brian a call. He's the owner.

Ha ha...it's funny, just this week I was looking into a transport from New York to Seattle. Maybe we should just drive ourselves and meet somewhere in the middle!
