Auto Shipping

I am using Dependable auto shippers to transport my mini S from NY to CA. Even though it is a small car, it is costing $1734 to ship enclosed trailer to avoid rocks hitting it. I would recomend calling transporters in the same state for a quick pickup. I went through a broker from another state and I had to cancel because they didn't pick it up. Good Luck

If you use open transport, much cheaper....I'd have them put a car cover on it and have at it...I've shipped that way w/no problems.

Cheers

I flew to Cleveland to pick up my 78 Mini and drove it home to Vegas. Didn't quite make it. My backup plan was to rent a 14' U-Haul truck, drive it inside, and drive the U-Haul home. Did that for the last 170 miles.

Do not use Nationwide Auto Transport. They are a joke. Definately find a company that is near the pickup location of the car. It will be much quicker and easier on you.
