Transporting Vehicle Recomendations?
Can anybody recommend a Car Transporting Company?
I am thinking of transporting my 2006 Mustang Convertible from Tampa Bay to San Francisco this fall then driving it back to Florida via LA, Tuscon, San Antonio, New Orleans Tampa. We, my wife & I, don't really wan to make it a 2 way trip. I don't think I need a closed trailer, so am thinking about a open transport. Thanks |
I'd really recommend AGAINST an open transport. My last move, I had my truck transported (open carrier) from central Florida to L.A. When I finally got the truck about 2 weeks later, it was absolutely FILTHY. Some of the stains in the paint never came out. It looked like it had been sitting in every grimy, filthy place between Florida & California... dirt, grime, bugs, grease, oil, you name it!
In past moves, 2 of my vehicles were transported in the moving van along with my things, while I drove the 3rd. This last time, had been trying to sell the Lincoln (but didn't), so ended up driving it (most comfortable ride) & the truck ended up on an open carrier. I feel for ya tho... have made that drive several times. None of the cross-country routes are very good. I like I-40 the best. I-10 is pretty through Arizona & New Mexico, but is the pits going through Texas. If you value your car, I'd do one of 3 things... -have it shipped in closed transport -drive it both ways -leave it at home & take a rental one or both ways. ... my 2 cents worth. |

Thanks Have been getting prices for transporting and coming in at abound $1,200. We are thinking that I will drive myself from Florida to San Francisco and have my wife fly out and meet me there. We can then do the tourist thing, take our time and drive home together. Lots of things I want to see that she isn't interested in like Billy the Kids grave site etc. Will have to study maps and state visitor guides. |
