Cheapest way to transport your vehicle across the country

[Anonymous]

We are moving to a new state 14 hrs away. What is the cheapest way to transport my old but very functional car( Toyota). We are driving the second car. Moving companies are quoting about $1200 which is frankly about what the cars worth.

Advertise on Craigslist for a college kid looking for an adventure. I actually moved from CA to NY that way, driving someone else's car.

Split up and drive both cars.

This.

My mom had a car brought on a car carrier from AZ to VA and it was $800. That was the best she was able to do.

Driving the second car is not an option, since it is long distance. It is a functional but an old car. Can’t take the risk of breakdowns.

Especially since it's only a 14 hour drive.

Sell it and buy another then.

It's a 14 hour drive per your title. If a car can't make a 14 hour drive, you should just get rid of it.

No constructive advice, don’t comment. If selling/buying a new car was an option, I wouldn’t be here.

This. Cut the cord. Sell it and buy a nice used car when you arrive. Otherwise, just pay the $1200, which is a reasonable quote for shipping a car.

In that case, start comparing shipping prices. A lot of companies offer the service.

Well aren't you a peach. Can't imagine why people aren't leaping at the opportunity to do the legwork on researching your move for you.

The cheapest way (since the title says that) is to drive the car there. If you put it on a truck or trailer, it's more expensive as now it's the fuel costs for that vehicle to pull it, which are much higher than your car will consume driving on its own.

So, now that we've determined the _how_ to get it there the cheapest, the next question is the _who_ as to who will drive it.

However if you say the car can't surive the drive, then the cheapest option is no longer an option. Donate it and take the tax write-off.
