shipping a car?

whats the cheapest way to ship a car? i am not even know what ways they do it. i need to ship one to orlando from socal. where could i look for some info on this? any one can help?

look for freight services..depending on the size of the car and the mialage.  i would  getamat about $1000 to ship a car that far.

Google 'auto transporting' and you will have a ton of sites come up. Click on one of them and put in the info of the size of car your transporting, pick-up location to drop-off location and you will get numerous of quotes. I was talking with one of the customer service reps and he was very helpful and told me how it works. Pretty much the higher the quote, the quicker your car will be picked-up and delivered to your destination. I got one of my VW's in my sig shipped to me from KY, it was a painless experience(some people make it out to be a hassle, but I thought its easy).

it would be cheapest to fly over there and drive it back yourself, or rent a truck and tow it :shrug:

The same thing kinda happened to me. I got a quote from KY to UT for $550 but said they were unsure when the car would be picked up. So they returned my deposit and then I went and got another quote for $850 and they picked up in a couple of days.
 
Another thing I found out about quotes is if the certain companies have trucks going to the same destination as your car is the quote will tend to be cheaper. I was talking with some of the other shipping companies that quoted me for around $1000 and I asked them if they had any other cars going to UT and they said no. So when I got the quote for $850 from this one company, I asked them if they had any other cars going to UT and said that the driver was picking a few cars in the area that are going to the same location as me and that is why my quote was a bit cheaper than the other guys.

check out Pilot transport

any other companies anyone recommend>?

need to be shipped by begenning of nov!

Call this guy up Erik Stewart, he is the owner of S&S Auto Transporters , phone # is 502 553 2439, his cell is 502 773 8626, email is [email]ERIK@SSAUTOTRANS.COM[/email]

He had shipped my car once from Columbus-Ohio to Orlando-Fl, and took about 7 days, and the other one from Boston -Orlando took him for 4 days only, I was surprised.

He also has experience on shipping a lowered car, so you don't have to worry if he might scrape your car or sumting.

are u located in orlando?.. where is the company based from?

I'm in Orlado yea, I forgot where the company based from, but he will come to your house, pick ur car up, and sent it to cali, prob would cost you around a grand or less.

from columbus to orlando ran me $650 and $600 from Boston-orlando

cool.... i am looking tp ship soon

To ship a sedan or coupe, open trailer, roughly 2500 miles is around $1000.

yea i know.. just need to find a reputable company and one which could get me the car there in a week or less
