Any recommendations? Has anyone shipped their car before? Anyone have experience with driveaway services?

Thanks!

Don't be a girl ....drive it!.

I personally use American Auto Transport for auto shipping. Don't know if they do Canada tho...

Try Calcruising.com. It's kindof like lendingtree.com where you put in your trip info and you will get quotes from a bunch of transporters.

Last time i ever ship my car. I shipped mine, took almost a month to get picked up, then when i finally get the car i have a big fat dent on my trunk. In the end they paid for the problem and some without going through insurance, but man what a mess. I would drive my car if I was you.

I have the same mindset.

You get what you pay for!

I would look for "affordable" shipping rather than cheap...IMO just suck it up and drive. It'll save you some $$ and (possible) headaches.
