Re: Has Anyone Ever Shipped a Car?

I have but can't remember who or how much it was. The car arrived pretty quick with no issues (scratches, etc).

I've done it several times.  

Most recently, I shipped my car through shipacardirect.com.   My daughter had previously used this company to ship her car from the West Coast to the East Coast.   I was doing the same, just to a different location.  Cost was about $1200. 

you can fill out your info on their website to get a quote. 

They use very big carriers, so driving down residential streets probably wouldn't work.  For pickup and drop off, I had to meet them at a nearby commercial area (such as the back parking lot of Walmart)


@september , that was exactly my experience too. I shipped my car from MA to CA, and the cost was $1200. It was so worth it!

Found the name of the auto transport we used to go from California to GA.  It's:

Montway Auto Transport.

Re: Has Anyone Ever Shipped a Car?

Daughter shipped hers from SC to WA. She sold all her furniture & used POD, very easy. She had called several movers/haulers & costs were all comparable. PODs referred some haulers to her. Cost was little lower. She went with one of them. Like another poster mentioned she requested top layer. The pick up & delivery dates/times were right on time. Went very smoothly & only for having to UBER over to a Walmart parking lot she was very pleased. Just needed to get to a carwash asap as it was dusty & had some dried up bugs on it!!

Yes, I have shipped a car in an actual ship across the Pacific Ocean.
