Shipping a car?

Whizbang · 09-28-2008, 10:56 AM

seeing there really isnt a place for this...i am thinking about having my FB shipped out to colorado instead of me renting a trailer and a truck. I have done a couple online quotes and the avg. seems to be 950 to 1200 dollars. Does this sound right? Anyone find anything cheaper?

gah! the one quote came back at 1500 dollars...

might just be doing a Uhaul with trailer for 2000 and get all of Amy and I's personal items in one trip...

From where to Colorado? I found the less hurry your in to get it shipped, the better the rate. Cause they can pair you up with other rides going the same way.

I have only done overseas; but from CA to HI - I only paid $1000.

Maybe if everybody pitch in their AAA/State Farm car club/insurance tow policies together, we could do some kind of free-towing relay cross country.

Wouldn't that be something?
