Default Has anyone shipped their corvette?

Hey guys,

I'm moving in the next few weeks across country from FL to UT and was curious if anyone has shipped their corvette before?
If you have who did you use?
I'm thinking for my scenario it would be easier to ship the 'vette and make the drive with my companion as opposed to us both driving our separate cars.

Thoughts?

I would drive in the Vette and ship the other car, sounds like a fun trip!

I shipped mine from Florida to Indiana. Enclosed carrier. No complaints. Residential pickup, car in no move location (one on and one off), Took 3 days. I want to say it was $1800.

Shipper was Montway.

I had my C6 ZR1 shipped a couple of years ago on Intercity from CT to CA at a cost of $1900. I also used them previously on my C4 ZR-1 from Boston to Sacramento. Intercity is one of the best in the business as they been worry free for me.

Shipped one from Utah to Oregon, used Reliable with no issues. Buyer paid so I'm not sure of the cost. Where in Utah are you headed?

Thank you everyone for the different options, all are very appreciated!
Personally I would rather take my Z, however, logic tells me take the civic that is an auto. I place more value on both of us being able to drive her civic than just me driving the Z.

And headed to Salt Lake City region. Looking at some places in Layton or some in West Valley I believe it's called. Limited options with having animals and needing a garage to keep the Z nice and cozy in the winter .

Welcome to SLC! I manage a large Automotive Parts DC located in West Valley City along with 20 store locations in the region. Be careful of the housing if you're going to rent. My son just got out of the Air Force and had a hard time getting a rental in the valley because of his large dog. Much more difficult than it should have been, took 6 months.
