Guest FrancesTheMute Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Anyone have any experience with any companies? I was looking at DAS, they are gonna charge me $669 to ship a car from Columbus to Fresno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Let me know what you find, i need to get one from texas to here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrancesTheMute Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 So far DAS is looking like the cheapest, I'm gonna try going through the army to see if they will help me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Nope, go with FedEx. They provide auto shipping. I had my Mustang picked up AT the shipper's house, dropped off at mine, $25k in insurance, all for $499. Took three days from there to here, New Jersey.

Guest FrancesTheMute Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 They want $995...a bit more than I have to spend. I wish I still worked at FedEx, I could use my employee discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 John, What type of car are you shipping and how much does it mean to you. Does DAS even offer enclosed transport, and do they use the conventional style car haulers...because if so there are many risks involved to cars that most of us enthusiests would own. If it's an unmodified SUV or standard sedan then maybe it's a different story. I currently have a car in Seattle that I just purchased awaiting pickup from Intercity Lines. If you've got a couple of weeks I'll let you know all of the details when my car arrives. They're not the cheapest on the market but they use Pro Race team style haulers with flip down gates and fully inclosed transport. I checked with all of the top of the line carriers (Horseless carriage, Fedex, etc) and Intercity ended up being slightly cheaper and came very hignly recommended by other car enthusiests. If you really want to do it on the cheap look into rail carriers. With current fuel prices it's not a cheap time to ship any vehicle though.

Andy I agree with him about getting an enclosed trailer if the car is real important, or you're worried about weather damage. When I shipped my Supra and Jeep back from Vegas, they looked like they were pulled from the bottom of a lake, they were that dirty.

MaTS1200 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 As in the thing you put dead people in? No. As in 1968 Olds Hurst, named after George Hurst who invented the Hurst shifter. It was the first year for the Hurst Olds as well as the rarest and fastest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
