    Anybody have a good auto shipping company they have used in the past that is reasonable in price?

    Thanks.

    what exactly are you trying to ship?

    did you mean an entire car?

    If you are trying to ship a car, do a google and click on automotive transporting. It will give you 5 to 10 shipping quotes with a click. Prices will vary dramatically. Prices for shipping my car this week were anywhere from $650- $1200. Do not go with someone who requires all the money up front. It is probably a scam. Most of the companies making quotes are brokers who are going to advertise the trip to actual transportation companies, so it doesn't really matter who you get as long as they are legitimate. Consider taking one of the cheapest ones. I did and it worked out fine. Hope this helps.

    Give Allstate Auto Transport a call and check their prices. I have used them 4 times in the last 2 months. Best prices I have found so far and good service. The broker is Elliott, #917-497-0682. Tell Elliott that Ray Parrish of Alabama referred you.

    Also try uship.com It is a website where shippers bid on your job. You just list what you have to ship and where and give a target price and the shippers will contact you with bids. I shipped two non-running cars from northern VA to SE NC for $800
