Hi everyone,

I'm going to buy another ITR next month and I wanted to figure some cost before I buy.

The car is located in the Bay Area of California and I live in Atlanta, Georgia.

I know it has to be shipped by a freight carrier, but I wanted to know what's a good company to go with. I also want to know about insurance on the shipping. I was thinking a fully covered, insured shipping.

Please list any companies that you have dealt with personally or have heard of that is very reliable.

Thanks In Advance

Hire a freight liner company. Should be ~$500

 

Do you know any reputable companies?

I used this guide, it helped a ton.

Quick tips for you:

1.) Ask the carrier to fax you a copy of their insurance, so you know exactly what their insurance covers and if there is any deductible in the event something happens to your car.

2.) Ask if your car will remain on their trailer the entire time or if it will be transferred to anothber trailor or driver at all. You want it to leave and arrive on the same trailor with the same driver.

3.) Use companies with either a covered trailor or a 3 car trailor. Otherwise, othe cars may leak oil on to your car, etc. It's asking for trouble.

Just do your homework, and make sure you trust who you are going to be using.

 

hell, I'd just drive it....nothing like a cross county trek w/ your new car

 

Agreed!!!!! i've done it twice already

 

1st choice, drive it
2nd choice - ship it by auto-train. It was 575 for my brothers car from Wisconsin to Florida

 

Thanks onyx00

For the rest of you guys, I thought about that...but it isn't too practical because time is limited.

 

I can't tell you who to use, but I can tell you NOT to use.... A to Z shipping. they suck! they were 2 weeks late picking up the car and it had 195 miles put on it when it arrived. amazingly, no one could explain any of it.

good luck.... and beware!

 

I used http://www.dasautoshippers.com 3 times and they were great ALL 3 times.

2000 Civic from Burbank, CA to NYC $1500 Enclosed Trailer

1992 Civic VX from Mobile, AL to NYC $650 Regular Carrier

1992 Civic DX from Indiana to NYC $650 Regular Carrier

Not one complaint on all the times and they were a week early all three times
