Car shipped cross country
 

I decided I would save the miles and gas money and shipped my car cross country. We are going to drive our SUV from San Diego to North Carolina though. Anyone else ever shipped their car?

I can't help but worry about her at night. :brokenheart:

Is this an option?

"save the mile"? what are you gonna do with saved mile on this car? slap on your gears and drive across the country in style!

Agree :)

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long
If you're going my way, I wanna drive it

Note: the FR-S Owners Manual has explicit warnings not to tow the FR-S by this method.

Back in '96 my wife and I moved from Michigan to Arizona. We drove one car and had our Samurai shipped. I wasn't worried about it as it had become a work vehicle that we had towed behind our motorhome for several years when we had been full-timing. If there's no other option, what else can you do?

Why worry, just make sure your carrier is insured.

This past summer I paid $1200 to have my Porsche shipped from the dealership in an enclosed trailer. Pasadena, CA to Dallas, TX. Well worth the piece of mind.

I really wanted to but had to take wife's car too! This way it will still be brand new. New car smell > bacon. I'm going to be moving back three years from now, next time.
It was only 900 bux from CA to NC. We will see how it looks when it gets here Saturday.

I vote drive it back, it will be a unique bonding experience :D

I flew to Lawton, OK and drove her from the dealership all the way down to Austin - best road trip ever. (Though not nearly as long as yours)

Well, I don't have experience, but I will have experience after next week. I'm relocating to NoCal, and my new company is using http://www.reindeerauto.com/. The move coordinator said they have had nothing but good reviews of them. I don't know how much the open carrier cost is, but it cost me $380 to upgrade to closed container shipping. They guarantee delivery w/in 14 days of pickup. Hope this helps.

Why not put it on a trailer and buy a car cover? If you are driving an SUV already, there shoudln't be an issue pulling your car.

I have always flown to where I am going and drove it back even when it was 3500 miles.
Consider it.

A lesson learned for me is those companies will email and call you nonstop. I regret getting multiple quotes because now I get "robo-calls" at all hours of they day now. :mad0260:
