First time was on company dime, inside a semi with the rest of my belongings. 18-wheeler with my own trailer. The drivers estimated this to cost $1200. Second time was through one of those brokers (they're ok but they take $75-100 right off the top). I met with the drivers and it was your typical 18-wheeler car carrier. Car arrived on time and undamaged. The broker was Nationwide Transport, the carrier was JPF Trucking. Total cost was $545. I'll try to contact JPF directly this time. Hope this helps. |

If you can get the time off I say drive as well. My cousin drove my car from Vegas to Cali and he had a blast. Why did he drive, cause I bought the car on vacation and I wasn't leaving Vegas early for shit.

If it's a fake M like mine, you can use a partially enclosed trailer.

I highly recommend Plycar. Call the California location and talk to Nick. I recently shipped two cars from Houston to the Irvine area. They gave me a good price, but most of all they did everything they said they would. It took three days from door to door.

Yes, it depends if you are selling to someone / company there, they will often want to take care of shipping themselves, saves you doing the work.
