Anyone know a cheap way to get a car from Birmingham, Alabama to Las Vegas and back without driving it the whole way?

 

Borrow pickup truck and rent trailer?

 

I don't want to drive 4000 miles round-trip. I want to put it on a trailer then catch a plane.

 

have a friend drive it and you take the plane..other than that I don't think "Cheap" and auto transporting are synonomis

 

I don't want the risk of having the car driven 2000 miles to SEMA.

 

Theres a company that does all of the moving for the Canadian Auto Show. They have an ad in the brochure, Ill find it tonight. Not sure if theyre only Canadian though. Do you want like covered transportation? Thats what these guys do.

 

Driving there could be fun.

I recently droved from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Twin Falls, Idaho then to Las Vegas, Nevada and back. It was about 4,500 miles. Man that was fun.

 

rent a uhal trailer..get a friend with a truck that can pull it and he drives and you fly
beer
pizza
call it even

wash, rinse, repeat

 

Drive a car? what... are you CRAZY?!?!
That's crazy talk

Won't sponsors pay for that crap?

 

You could also try a train service. May be more reliable than a uhual trailer and less expensive than a plane

 

I Googled "auto transporters" and got all kinds of hits. IMO, do the same and just start going down the list.

 

Drive it.......

 

Yeah...I dont think you are going to find a cheap way to do this....sounds expensive. I like Dougs idea....I'l even volunteer!....but Seriously...

My dad owns a trucking company...he might do it for you. They normally try to get around $1.30 per mile...+ or - some becuase of weight. So..since your car will probably be the only thing on a 53 foot enclosed trailor...he might do it for a little cheaper.....HOWEVER...getting the truck to stay there all week so you can get it home might cost you a little extra...but hey...the driver might want to hang out in vegas for a while....so who knows?

 

there are (or have been in places I've lived) plenty of outfits taht will move your car. I had one that moved my truck from RI to AZ. They may have irregular schedules and such, but they're out there. Just crack op the yellow pages and start dialing.
