too much. The best way to find out is to just call the company. do not use the online quote. I got quoted online for a car @500 to ship it and when i called the company they told me 1300.

I had a Cutlass shipped from Long Island N.Y. to the far south side. It was $1000 enclosed and $650 on an open trailer. I always go enclosed, you never know when that evil rock will jump up and bite your paint or window. Try LSX Transport. I used them the last car I transported from Detroit ($650, a Caddy). Good guys, just give them a couple of days to get to you. They don't answer your inquiries immediately.

Hi,
Feel free to email me directly at sean@lsxtransport.com I need the make/model, if the car is operational or not, zip codes or city/state, and if you want open or enclosed trailer.

Shipping quotes are zip code to zip code. A town nowhere near a highway in any given state is going to be more expensive and more difficult to pick a car up from or deliver a car to as oppposed to major cities, etc.

Thanks for those that mentioned us in this thread

Change in plans. Your GTA is being delivered to MY house.

To the OP, I would definitely go with LSX Transport. Sean is a great guy to deal with, and will provide the best service & price possibile.
