Default Transport 2 cars from FL to NY??

Looking to have 2 cars transported from FL to NY. Currently, have 4 cars. 2 in NY and 2 in FL and just don't see the point on having them sitting and am considering getting rid of 2 and just transporting the other 2 each year.

That said, what companies would you guys suggest. Something reasonable. Just shipping average cars Caddy & Van. not a $200k lambo.

I'm not even sure where to start with my search for a snowbird transportation company. But figured OSO would be a good starting point.

thanks
Dave

if putting a third on there would help with price, you can probably count me in with a Jeep from Saratoga to FL (jax)

There are a lot of good companies out there, one option I like is Ready Auto Transport.
A fair price would be around 50 to 70 cents per mile each car on an open trailer. Like anything price depends on size, weight, scedule, and if there happens to be other vehicles going the same direction to fill the trailer. Just like anything you get what you pay for.....
Good luck

Not sure what your time frame is? Are you looking for transport back this spring? Anyway if you are looking for something right now I am coming back empty from the Ft Lauderdale area to RI a few times this month with a 53 ft flat bed that can haul up to 3 cars. If timing worked out I could do a decent back haul rate. I sent you a pm with my contact info......if you're interested let me know.
Thanks, Pat

No offense fountinfan42 but Uship is the worst possible car hauling website. The haulers that use it are not DOT legal, Do not carry the proper insurance, etc.

This is your man Dave. Pat hauled my Formula From Cape Coral last spring and did a perfect job. Even called me several times to let me know how things were going. He's very professional. I would not hesitate to call him again.
