Concrete prices are hard to get. Usually you get quoted and the final price is based on what the driver/company wants do it for.
I shipped a car from maryland to california for 800. Overall good experience.
Cheapest method I found is a depot to depot type. They drop it off at a yard and you pick it up at another one.
Then there's a home to depot or depot to home.
Home to home, which is what I did.
Luxury treatment is an enclosed trailer.
Anything under 100 miles, get a AAA membership and get it towed.

Hey,
It would ship to GA from somewhere in the US. The more I look in the forum I think I will be able to find a TII within range of just getting ones of those Uhaul tow dollies for $50. I have a Tacoma and could just tow is straight home.
I was just trying to think worse case if I can't find one close and had to ship it. I got the fever.

I've personally used uship.com to ship my FD to my house, and I've sent a car using a company from transportreviews.com. Both were good, just make sure to read their feedback before picking a shipper.

Edit: ^ beat me to it.
When i shipped my RX7 from S.C. to Ne. it was a bad experience. It took the 3 months to put a load together to make the trip. Then it took another 2 1/2 weeks to get here, so it wasn't a speedy delivery by any means. On the other hand i purchased a motor from California. We got onto uship.com and I've never shipped something so quick. It left on Saturday morning and showed up Monday afternoon. So it was a much more positive experience. If i was going to ship another car i'd be putting it up on uship and see what bids come up.
