Car shipping company

I'm relocating out of state and was wondering if there are any reputable places you guys know of that ship cars. The move will be from here to WA. Thanks.

why not drive it? Or rent a trailor and tow it. Shipping cars is EXPENSIVE. and this time of year I'd recommend a closed trailor....or at least a protected one. Open air transit is a bad idea.

I can drive it, but just wanted to see what the prices were like. I'd rather just fly instead of driving like 20+ hrs.

I drove from here back home to Vancouver a couple of times. It's not that far.. less then 14 hrs. Seattle WA if you are going to Washington state is 2 hrs from vancouver so it's only 12. Driving this time of year through the mountains can be scary but it's worth the drive..

Shipping the car will be around 900+.. I have asked before when I moved down a couple of years back.

The drive to WA really isn't that bad. Nice country up there. Shame on you for wanting to ship your subie two states.

I've already drove up there 5x which is more than enough. I just wanted to know. Most likely it'd be expensive, but it never hurts to check.

I've driven cross country a few times and it wasn't that great. We rushed it, but got sick of driving forever.

If you rent a DIY moving van (U-Haul, Ryder), you could also rent a flatbed trailer to tow behind it.
