My family and I are moving in about a month. One of our vehicles is not built for long distance travel, and we'd like to ship it to our destination. Any recommendations for a shipping service?

Thanks!

Tow it with a tundra. Others will break down before you get there

In what manner? Too shitty or too nice to drive that far? My answer depends on yours.

It's a lifted Jeep with 35" tires. Our destination is 1,800 miles away. We could technically drive it, but it would not be fun. Would like to explore the option of shipping it just to see if it's worth the extra cost.

Car trailer behind the moving truck? They charge extra but it isn't too bad. Or just Google it. There are tons of car shipping services since Ebay started selling cars coast to coast.

I would guess that you're looking at $800-1000 for that distance. Worth not dying in a Wrangler going across I-10.

Barges are flat if you are shipping up river.

If cross country and no rivers are near you, use an auto cargo transport company or tow it yourself. Uhaul rents that kind of trailer.

If you are moving to another country, use a ship.

There are several car shipping places available just do a google search.

I was going to ship my truck from Seattle to Dallas and they were going to charge $1,000.

Expect to ship is for $700-$1000.... more if you want it in a covered vehicle.

Shipped an SUV 2 months ago 2,400 miles. It was $950.

Summer months are more expensive... Usually 20% or more increase

Sell it to Carvana, then buy it from Carvana. Ship to your new address.
