Default Car shipping.

Does anyone know of a good company that ship cars within the country (USA)?

I might be moving to Seattle from Los Angeles and I'm debating on whether I should just drive up there or ship the car.

That's a decent drive, but I would just drive. It'd be a lot to ship. I'm moving from Columbus Ohio to Myrtle Beach South Carolina on the 29th and I'm just driving. It'll only be like 60 bucks for two tanks.

Ignore all advice and go to www.uship.com. Shippers will bid on your shipment and you can read extensive feedback (usually >100 reviews). I saved about $1500 shipping my cars from Tampa to San Diego. The cars (including a '67 corvette) were perfect.

I would drive the car if I were you. Convince a good buddy to come with you and pay for his/her flight back up. I've driven from Seattle to LA before, it's not that bad. I would much rather do this than have a vehicle shipped.

I had my Integra shipped from Seattle to Detroit when I moved there and they really screwed the car up. The driver's portion of the interior was dirty, oil was spilled on the hood, and my freshly painted front lip was scratched up. It arrived like a week late too. Not cool.

I then had the S2000 shipped from Detroit to Seattle when I moved back to WA. This was a little better experience as the car was unharmed. It was still sketchy though not having the car for a week and knowing what conditions the driver was driving through (winter time). It also arrived late.

If you're set on shipping the car, I used this website to find a company to ship it:
