Car shipping services?

What car shipping services do you guys have experience with?

Whats a reasonable ballpark price for shipping a car 700 miles?

Any tips/tricks?

Warning: Nothing I am about to say is helpful to the OP, except to maybe make him laugh. Also, by posting this I am bumping it from 21st to 1st, so maybe will get his question more exposure to those that may have helpful info.

Here goes:

Utilize my shipping company at (insert sketchy link here) they are most satisfactory and best quality and fast. Highly recommend! Experiences drivers and new lorries. 

Best prices is usual $500USD in pre-paid amazon gift cards. Best shippers only take pre-paid gift cards for services rendered. Please email the card info to totallynotascam@notscam.com for prompt moving of your automobile.

Tips for best shippers: frequently, good shippers can be found posting links at 3AM on GRM, preferably, those using Korean or similar characters in their posts are best due to international experience. Another pro tip, the less gooder at the English, the most proficient shipper is at definitively moving your car the best. 

Sorry, just couldn't resist . :) I can't wait to see this thread get zombied in like 5 years by a canoe.

I know a guy doing this for a partial living now. 

In reply to bobzilla :

Gumby (also in Indy) recently mentioned elesewhere that he too knows a guy shipping cars now.  Gumby did not mention the guys name?  Same guy?  

In reply to John Welsh :

It is very important to find a good vehicle shipping company

Very much so.

In Feb of '18 I shipped my Cayman from NH to San Diego (3300mi @ $1500 for a reference point). IM Transportation or similar out of Springfield, MA if I remeber right.

Was told 2 weeks in a covered transport. Reality was 4 weeks (due to "transmission problems") and on an open carrier. First time my CA purchased car had ever seen road salt...I was wild about it. Car was caked all over right down to where the rubber sealed the doors and trunks. I started to spin up about it and the driver started screaming at me in russian and told me he'd drive away with the car still on the truck.

Be careful and do your due dilligence better than me.

We use Reliable.

Not cheap but way cheaper than fixing a damaged car.

I seem to remember from another conversation that the car you want will be in Chicago.  The Indianapolis guy mentioned here a couple of time would then be just 3 hours SE of Chicago.  This might make him an option for your move.  

I have only used car shipping services a few times. After all, to be honest, buying a car at an auction is much more profitable than at a car dealership or dealer nearby. But it seems to me that this saving of money is offset by the wasted nerves. Maybe the problem is me, but I constantly met delivery guys with the intellect of a monkey, may those nice creatures (monkeys) forgive me.

You should really try shipping by Canoe. I hear it's amazing.

Yeah, man, not all trucking companies are like that. I've bought cars online a few times and everything has arrived without a flaw.

uship is a site where you can get multiple bids pretty quickly.  I used them to ship a car a bunch of years ago from CO to the chicago area and it arrived in the condition expected.  

I have a friend who hauls cars in his enclosed race trailer, he charges $1.55/loaded mile, just FYI

I've had good experiences with both InterCity and PlyCar

And always check the glove box when you get it for the valet parking tickets from the strip club.
