We've had 3 cars transported to San Antonio. We used the car carriage ? Approx $450 a car , coming from az . I've brought a car from Florida to California once using reliable transportation. Had no issues with either

I shipped a car from Florida once. Used uship.com to get bids and was pretty happy with the one I chose.

Thanks a lot guys I appreciate it. I don't recall the name right now but I did fill out a form online and was flooded with calls and emails the next day... just seems like a business with potential for some sketchy characters will check them out. Thanks again.

When do you need it there?

I need to make another trip from my WA home to my SAT home.

I used Uship to send my Bulldozer and a truck from WA to SAT. Worked great, as usual. 3 days, door to door.

Somewhat flexible, I would like to have it there by or before the middle of June. What do you mean when you say you need to make another trip? Do you haul ? You sent heavy equipment via uship, do you remember the carrier's name.

You might want your car in a covered trailer, I don't know if it is your Tesla, or your Toyota.

I won't be getting to TX until very end of June.

I used a Buda, TX based 'hotshotter' pulling a 40' open flatbed. I tried to get him to do another load 4 months ago, but he is no longer making west coast runs. I would estimate $1000 to $1200, unless you find someone with available space needing a backhaul to TX.

My fuel costs for my last one way trip was $380. I was towing a small trailer.

If you don't mind the miles added, you can find us early retirees who will drive it there for gas money. (Commercial driver with 3m accident free miles). Often there are retiree RV couples who relocate cars.
