Default Shipping a 350z

Hey my350z
i was wondering if any of you guys shipped your 350z or any other car before. im planning on moving back to California. Currently in Georgia. i would like to hear your experiences, and any companies you know of shipping cars for fairly cheap and good customer service. Thank You!

I've shipped a car from Az to Fl for about $500. I can't remember the name of the company but everything went pretty smooth. Took about 3 days for the car to arrive once it was picked up. Just be in an area big enough for them to get their truck in.

Its a long ways. I'll be moving back to NY in June next year. So far Ive only emailed one local guy plus another company called All Day Auto Transport. They have an online quote form, you can fill out. Haven't heard anything back from either one yet.

Ive driven my Z from AZ to NY and back, and I'm not looking to do it again. 2400 miles each way..suck

Does your move involve furniture etc?Like,has a mover been contracted with a large
van...house full of stuff?Or,do you live in a apt,not a lot of stuff?
I've done a few moves.Each time,2 cars were involved in the move.The mover,put them in the van along with everything else.The traditional way is a ramp where the cars are
OVER the other stuff.Yes,a upper level.Each time there was no problems.It was a bit easier loadin g the cars than backing them out.But,inch-by-inch,you get e'm off.

I shipped my Z from Texas to Pa. It was around $500 and I got the truck drivers cell number. Constant communication via text and arraigning the pick up spot. Don't remember the company this was 2005. Fairly easy and quick though

Check feedback and the BBB website before deciding on a company. I shipped a car from CA to NC years ago and the 1st (cheapest) company I picked tried to take my money and run.

I've shipped a few times. You can ship in an open hauler for ~$800, add ~$400 for an enclosed hauler. Add $ to guarantee your Z is on the top rack. Go to www.uship.com to receive "bids". I did one that way, then went directly to Montway Auto Transport.

Your best bet (if you are in no rush ) to make it a bid and see how low the quotes are. They fight for your buisness and select the one with the best/most ratings.

I can only add to never use DAS auto shippers, Ive read way to many horror stories with them on countless car forums.

I've never used them, but reliable carriers looks like a good option
