Shipping a vehicle?

[PleasantVX]

When it came time to move my newly bought Vehicross from New York to Michigan it was a no brainer -- drive it and enjoy the trip. But now I have to move my wife's Camry from San Francisco to Chicago in August. Anyone have any experience (good or bad) with auto shippers. I've seen some threads on new owners considering having their VX shipping and could use some advice. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A friend of mine bought a really nice Mitsubishi VR-4 twin turbo a month ago off some bay dealer. It took the shippers two weeks to come and get the car. and then a whole week to bring it to him. When the car got there. They sent him the wrong VR-4! ahaha!

one month later, he still doesnt have his car.

Other then that story, I have heard nothing but great things about vehicle shipments. Good Luck!

I've used DAS in the past with good results for shipping several of my eBay purchases and sales, with most SUV-sized vehicles moved around $450 for that distance. But have you considered a fly-n-drive? That's what I've been doing for the last few years as it's usually less expensive, you're the one with the vehicle and it's usually an enjoyable experience. Most one-way airfares are in the $50 - $80 range, so it's almost a no-brainer.

Plus you get a free cavity search after they make you take your shoes off!

LOL! And who says there's no more intimacy in the travel industry!
