I am in a desperate situation and am looking for some help. I've tried other avenues but am just not getting very far. The people here are helpful so I'm giving it a shot. My mother is ill and will be relocating from South Carolina to Massachusetts to live with me. The drive is too much for her so she's going to fly. She wants to transport her vehicle up here. I have done the online searches and am getting bombarded with one sales pitch after the other about why I should choose their company. I'm just very overwhelmed and really want a personal recommendation. If anyone has done this before and could recommend a good company I would be very appreciative. Thank you so much.

That's perfectly fine, cac140 ... We discuss most anything at all here. Nothing is off-topic.

My husband has used "Ship A Car Direct" to transport vintage cars out of state. It is Consumer Affairs accredited and offers a damage free guarantee.

You could research that one and call for a quote.

Best wishes to you and your mother.

I will check them out. Thank you so much for responding. Even if I drove her it would be too much for her. She's fragile, so flying and getting here quick is best. It's a stressful situation so I truly appreciate your help very much. Have a wonderful day!

I think moving companies will transport your car for you on one of their large vans.

Check out moving companies if you haven't already. Good luck.

Thank you!! I did not think of that. I will definitely look into it. Very much appreciated!

As others have stated, major moving companies will transport your car. We've used them several times, but be forwarned it isn't cheap.

Deeva - Could you share the name of the company you used? I will start researching this today. Thank you.

Also, check this site out for a "professional" mover's blog. No, I am not affiliated at all with any of these sites. I just love to google and find information.
