Cheap way to ship car to NY

Right now $1.10/mile for enclosed shipping is more or less the going rate. You can ship open for maybe .60 per mile but be aware; Most open shipping involves transferring the car. Every time I've done it the car was such a mess it wasn't worth the savings let alone delays.

Your best bet is getting lucky with someone running a trailer up with empty space.

 

You really do get what you pay for, cheap rates means the carrier can't afford higher insurance coverage in case of a problem

 

Ive got a friend that owns a car transport company that does nothing but FL to NY car hauling. PM me with what kind of car it is and I will see what he says rates would be and pass along his info to you if you're interested.

 

Auto Train?

 

Try the following:

Exotic Car Transport
Autobahn
Horseless Carriage
Fed Ex Passport

I am assuming that you're looking for enclosed shipping? If you're just looking for open carriers, there are many of them as well.

 

cheapest way to get the car from fl to ny... pay the gass and id happily drive it there and fly myself home ; )

 

I think he wants to get it to NY in one piece, not like in the movie Gumball Rally

This year I paid about $1/mile from Sarasota to Foxboro MA with Intercity Lines.

 

Send a PM to Martin (Cavallino Motors) and see if he has something, I've seen him ask if anybody wanted an open spot on one of his trailers.

 

I got nothing going. In fact I had two cars come down and paid Exotic, also one north to NYC. Each of them was basically $1400.
Those are enlclosed rates. If you ship open the rate is probably somewhere at $800. I had one cheap one that did an old Porsche for $700 to Staten Island a month or so ago.

 

Coincidentally, I am looking for transport TO Florida. Relocating in September, and looking to ship from Monterey to Orlando. I have a quote from Horseless Carriage from a couple of months ago at $1,850, and another this week from Exotic Car transport for $2,500. I think I will give HC another call to see what their rate is with today's gas prices. In either case, both are below $1.00 per mile (but ECT not by much...)

 

I JUST USED A GUY IN JUNE JAMES MCNAMARA 516-647-7761. HE CHARGED ME $800.00 BOCA RATON TO NY ENCLOSED. HE PICKED UP ON TIME AND DELIVERED ON TIME.

 

...damn that is cheap! You are hard pressed to find an open carrier that cheap.

Enclosed and enclosed are different too. When we are talking enclosed we usually mean with a race car loading ramp and flat stacks inside the trailer. There are some companies that have regular open haulers that have vinyl sides. Those are more the open carrier but they are protected from the elements.

At the end of the day it is all about what you ship.
