Does anyone have any idea what it costs to ship a car from Cali to the midwest? Just looking for a ballpark price. Was curious if any of you all have ever shipped one before. Thanks.

I looked into shipping a 14 from Ca to NC about two years ago. I think the range was ~ 800 - 1000. I did a search for car transport on google and found a site that put your info out to bid like the mortgage places, worked great for me. If I had bought the car I was able to find someone that was competitive and met all my requirements.

Good luck

Yeah I saw a site like that on Google. Im just a bit impatient waiting to hear back.

Oregon to Virginia $1060 (open carrier) depot to depot
Missouri to Oregon $950 (enclosed) depot to depot
DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers)
Same with Intercity (enclosed, door to door) about $1700

I've used Thomas Sunday (they're in Hemmings).

I shipped a '73 Javelin/AMX from OK to CA, enclosed carrier 1200.00 about three years ago.

I just sold another car a couple months ago that went from CA to SC, open carrier. The buyer paid about 800.00 for that trip.

The things to consider:

Open or closed carrier.
Do you want to deal directly with the trucking company or use a 'broker'?
Get a Hemmings and call some of the companies there. Some of them vary wildly in their pricing.

Good luck.

I used A-1 Auto Transport - Riverside, CA to Pennsylvania - $795.00 - open carrier - door to door - no problems
