How To Go About Shipping My Car From Massachusetts To California?

Please help. 1) How do I even go doing this? 2) How much? 3) where will it ship to? (I’m going to be living in the LA area). It would make sense to just ship by car out there than to buy a new one, right?

    Important, check out any auto transporter you are looking to use on http://www.transportreviews.com. They have nearly 20,000 customer reviews on about 1,000 companies that transport cars.
    I also get a lot of the pricing info below from the tools on there site.
    1. You will need to find a company that arranges for the transport of vehicles. You can check out http://www.TransportReviews.com or get price quotes from a site like http://www.carshipping.net.
    2. The pricing tool on Transport Reviews says that shipping a vehicle from MA to CA costs on average $1,142. It shows some vehicles shipping for $950 but most are between $1,000 and $1,200.
    3. Most of the companies that ship vehicles ship “door-to-door”. So in theory they will pick it up at your old house and drop it off at your new one. BUT, I put it in quotes because these are large car carriers, so door-to-door means as close as they can reasonably get to your door. People are frequently asked to meet the car carrier in parking lots and places more easily accessed by trucks.
    4. Chances are it is better to ship it then by a new one. Depending on gas prices though… and your willingness for long road trips it may be better to drive the vehicle yourself. But for a long drive like that I kind of doubt it.
    I hope this helps. Good luck!

    Why not take an extended road trip and see the good ole US of A! By the time you pay for shipping of the vehicle, you could have vacation.

    I usually go to http://www.tierads.com/ I find the best reviews on their website. I got my car transported from Orange County to Los Angeles for $450.00.
