$500 - $2500 depending on how you want your car treated. Even the best shipper can have an unscrupulous driver that will date rape the **** out of your car. Most shippers are brokers that hire drivers they don’t know – that’s scary.

DFW to SJ is a weekend drive. Fly in Friday aft and split. Trust me, it’s a great experience.

Amen to the above: Unless you go toward the high end, you truly never know what you are going to get. My guess is that the $2500 is for a covered ride. Not necessary.

I took the $500 option from PA to MI -- the god's must have bee watching out for me. My car arrived being halued by a standard Chevy pickup truck with bald tires (circa 1981) which was pulling a dilapidated trailer and four other (beater) cars. I literally think they hired the driver in a bar parking lot. I can laugh now because all went well -- but it had peril written all over it.

If you can drive it -- do it.

umm, i though i replied to this.

I shipped my car from san antonio, tx to long beach, ca ($600)
uship - I requested that my car be loaded in the front of the trailer so that is did not have to be taken on and off the trailer at each drop off. Took 3 days to get there.

uship.com (lol yes, the website that does the show shipping wars...lol )
