Anybody have any idea of the cost to ship a car from coast to coast


Just tossing ideas around, and I don't want to go to the trouble of getting a shipping quote from a company for something that probably won't happen anyways.

On the off-chance that somebody has already priced it up... from BC to NS.

Even a ballpark price would be helpful!

If the car is not mint, I would look at hauling on a flat deck or van body. Could save some bucks

I shopped around a LOT and paid $1,000 US from Hollywood, California to Fort Myers, Florida in 2007.

I just paid $1540.00 & tax to have a Camaro hauled from Oakville Ontario to St. John's NL, if that helps. That's nearly half way.

My father is moving to NS from BC after $5000-$6700 quotes from moving companys we contacted Sameday Worldwide  4 pallets 48 X 40 X48  and a total of 2600 lbs is $1600. It pays to shop around. I had to do alot of Internet shopping when I shipped my GTO from Ohio to BC for $1100

September 2009 when Hillar bought the green & gold 2+2 from me, I think he paid about $1500 to ship it from Calgary to Toronto via Mackie Auto Transport.   Give them a call, they'll provide you a quote.  I'd guess BC to NS would be in the $2500-3000 range.

I paid $2000.00 In february to have my car shipped from Winnipeg to Vancouver Island. Was originally 1580.00 but it didn't run well so they charged me extra for a non driving car!! (One plug wire was off!!)

Thanks for all the input, guys!

From all the info here, it looks like I should expect to pay around $2500 - $3000, depending on the carrier... pretty near what I expected.

Hmmm... I'll have to think on this one a little.  confuse

I really appreciate your taking the time to answer my question! smile
