Towing car back home.

[T5_X]

Hey, does anyone know much about getting you car shipped? I was originally gonna tow my Daytona back, but it actually weighs more than my stupid truck, and I'd have to take the drop kit out so that's out of the question. Anyone know approx how much it is from door to door? Lethbridge to Van city... should be almost the same as Calgary to van city I'd guess. What companies should I phone?
Thx

expect around $1500 from most companies

[T5_X]

WHAT!?!?!?!? That's almost twice as much as I paid for the car

[Weapon_R]

rent a truck and tow it and then drop the truck in van at the store there (U-Haul maybe?)

[max_boost]

I thought freight would be around $500?

It's cheaper to drive your truck home....fly back to drive your daytona home.

Just for a note, my sister was goin to bring her car from Toronto to Calgary, was goin to cost $9oo and didn't matter on weight, so do some callen around to moving companys!!

Should cost 300-500

call hansens forwarding, or searail.

Used them lots of times, shipped a porsche from Halifax in june last year for 1000, took 10 days. great service.

That would be true if the Daytona was registered, insured and roadworthy

Thanks Miles, I just requested some quotes from thier websites.

edit:
My mom said that when she got her explorer and my ranger shipped from edmonton to vanc a couple of years ago, it was 5 or 600 bucks for both vehicles

How would insurance work if something got damaged?

[T5_X]

They do a full inspection before they load up the vehicle, so i guess if something (external) gets damaged that didn't appear on the inspection, they'd have to pay for it.

But if shipping an 87 daytona, who cares, right?

[ninspeed]

rent a 5 ton truck and and extra ramp and load both cars in the back of the truck. Now they are inside, and protected, and you can just drop the 5 ton off at any rental place in vancouver.. measure the length first. and dont forget to strap the cars down.

Hey, do you pay before they ship it? Or after they ship it?
I imagine it be better after cause you can inspect for damages, and no damages, you pay them! haha

[max_boost]

ok i just talked to my cousin
he said it cost $250 to ship his mom's X5 by train, from Vancouver to Calgary!
