Re: Need to ship parts car WV to VA, any suggestio
Hi Jack,
You might check for local, non-national rental places, too, if you are considering trailering it yourself. There's one near me that has all sorts of trailers and most are $25-35 a day, plus no hassles about having to rent a truck from them, etc. Your local phone book would be a good place to start.
If you don't want to haul it yourself, or don't have a tow vehicle (or friend with a tow vehicle who can be bribed with pizza and beer), you might be able to arrange someone to haul it for you. Check with local used car dealers and wrecking yards, and any car clubs in the area.
When I moved my TR4 from Colorado to California 5-6 years ago, I was lucky to find someone who was already heading to Calif. to pick up a car and they were quite happy to put a car on the trailer for the trip out as well. I paid little more than enough to cover the price of their gas one way. It was a win/win situation for everyone.
Car dealers and wrecking yards sometimes haul a lot of cars around and might have a service they use, or own car haulers themselves. Particularly for a short distance like you need, if they have a space, they might be more than happy to fill it for a modest cost, since it lowers the cost for everyone.
This can be a cheaper way to move a car, than the big professional car transporters. Think of it as the difference between taking fancy cruise on an ocean liner or getting a cabin on a cargo vessel.
