armin922 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I was wondering if any of you has ever done this, the car is being shipped from Spokane, WA to Columbus. Would anyone be able to guide me in the right direction as to what to look for in a company, how much it would cost, etc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledhead36 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Reliable Carriers, have used them many times. http://www.reliablecarriers.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I have used Pilot Transport; the same company used by Honda to transport prototypes and production cars. Cost depends on several factors. Contact the company for a quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItzaME Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Talk to a semi-driver and ask who they know that dispatches, once you have that contact they will be able to post the car up for you with a low price until someone bites to pick it up. I usually go with every mile is a dollar. So 500 miles away is $500, 1200 miles away is $1200 etc.. But from past experience its usually cheaper.

ec_E92 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Cost is a factor of distance, covered vs. uncovered, how soon you need it, etc. I recently shipped a car from Cali to Columbus, door to door, uncovered for $745 in 7 days. I got quotes from $700 - 1200 and was harassed by several companies for weeks following my quote process. I used Quicken Auto Transport and it was a positive experience.

Also considered by drivers is shipping routes. If you're having a car shipped TO somewhere they're likely going to be able to pick up more cars and take elsewhere (aka make more money) they'll give you a better rate. If you want a car shipped somewhere that nobody ships out of, they're going to be burning gas making no money on the return trip, so you're going to pay for that.

armin922 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 thanks guys!! It will be shipped from Spokane,WA. Nothing special just a regular car if that makes a difference. My gf is moving back here from WAshington and doesnt want to make the long drive. Long drive vs car shipped financial wise is about even. So we are having it shipped.
