Also, the only production car I've seen with a complete shrink wrap cover is the corvette so far. Then again, most of the rare/exotic cars are shipped in enclosed trailers lol.

Here's another option. For the price it will cost you to ship you could have a friend drive it for you and buy him a plane ticket to fly back home.

To ship it safely will be pretty pricey, as others have indicated. If you have a few days and pick the right route, that could be a beautiful and fun drive. And you'll know it's in good hands.

It's not that my car is in bad condition but I don't want to be stranded in the middle of no where.. at midnight.. I have the money to ship it. it's just doing it correctly with the right people. Will it get delayed? will it get demolished.. I still have no clue. Quote:
Longest 4 hours wearing my racing helmet in traffic blasting Tron. (had to entertain myself) so many people took pictures. Never again.

If you do ship it make sure to pick a reputable company with experience shipping "nice" cars (not hauling cars to the scrapyard) even if it costs a bit more. It is really easy to do all kinds of damage if the car isn't tied down properly. Unless it will be a huge PITA I'd drive it myself.

If there's a scratch, if it's not noted on the drivers paperwork, then I'll send pics of this to my ins agent and he will cut you a check within thirty days. What if it's late, have you been late before?, this is still a truck drivin by a human, so YES it can happen that it will be late. Our drivers do the best they can, and do run late, but we communicate when there is a problem. On time deliveries is something we take pride in, our last month on time % was 92%, not 100%, but when based on over 5000 deliveries each month, I can work with these stats! What if it never comes, CALL the police, and report it stolen. Give the authorities the bill of lading (which you receive a copy when picked) it will have the driver info, company info, and if if it was to be shipped out of state, you might want to contact the FBI also and report the paperwork. Then call your insurance company, they will contact me! Pretty easy! Agian , any questions , any rates? I'm here to help! |

Drive It!! The roads are excellent and a lot of good scenery! Drove the entire NW last summer and Cal. Had a great time. We did Hot august nights in Reno. drove to Frisco up the coast to the Redwoods, over to Crater Lake, back up the coast to Astoria. Drove to Portland and all the way down to San Diego . Best road trip ever.
