Default I need to ship my car

Hey all. I am gonna be in Boston for one month(December) and I need to ship my car from Kansas City. Do you have any recommendations for who I should use? I don't want to drop a bundle, but reliability and quality are obviously desired.

Thanks

At little more than 1400 miles, sounds like a great road trip.

By the time you pay ~$750+ to ship each way (and risk damage during shipment), you could just rent a car for a month. Weekly rates on low-end cars are quite reasonable.

You do not want your S in Boston. Waste of such a nice car, just get a rental for the time being, or take the public transportation.

I know of numerous people who live there and do not have/use a car.

Ask for a long-term rental -rates can be cheaper than what's published.

I live in the area, and I would not park any where on the street of Boston, spaces are limited here, bumper scratches is a must.

I go up there a few times a month for business and would recommend not taking any car with any value to you - especially if you will be in the city alot. I definately would not bring my S.
