    Looking to move one or two cars from Missouri to Minnesota. Any one have a hook up or suggestions for a cheap car transport?

    Anything you got would be helpful. Need it ASAP kind of. Thanks!

    There have been a few threads in the past that have mentioned a few companies people have used. Look for some of those.

    Could always call up a dealer and ask them who they use as well, might steer you in the direction you want.

    I am looking into this also. What about that Uship
    http://www.uship.com/
    I would assume there is some kinda insurance for the cars being moved or you could add some more some how.

    I used uship a couple times, yes you can add extra insurance. I think they cover $2500 then for any additional you pay more. If i remember I took $10k insurance and it was around $20

    I had my SHO shipped up here from MO, I'll see if I can find the number for the transport company.

    This site has good reviews. http://www.transportreviews.com/

    be careful about asking for quotes with your primary email you will get emails for weeks.

    Couple facts: closed transport is more expensive, dont pay any cash up front (sometimes they dont have a truck on time)

    Dependable Auto Shippers, I work for a tow truck company that is a HUB for them and we pick up and deliver cars from all over South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, and North Dakota. They are a Car shipping company out of Texas but operate all over the U.S. I've seen bills for just small time cars for as low as $500 and up. I don't really know their contact info but for the most part they do their best to be efficient at picking up and delivering. Otherwise find a buddy with a truck and trailer and pay for the fuel cost of going down and back...lol
