Shipping options for cross country
I'm looking at picking up a C6Z and several of them are located further than I have time to drive. What people/companies do you recommend for shipping a car clear across the country say from California to NY without breaking the bank. What is the typical price to expect to pay for an enclosed trailer CA-NY and is it worth the risk to ship on an open trailer ?

A guesstimate for long distances is around 50 cents/mile open and close to $1/mile enclosed.

I would love to drive it home but don't have 4-7 days to do it as much as I would love the experience. Would probably cost me the same in the end. Thanks for the info.
Do shippers insure the cars by value or purely by weight like a house mover ?

I just shipped a z06 from Orange County California to Madison WI. Covered transport and it only took like 3 days. I used United Routes. I've shipped cars before, but honestly this was very hassle free and only cost me 1800. I would definitely use them again if I was shipping a car somewhere.

I’ve shipped vintage and exotics several times cross country. Cost about 2,200 for enclosed trailer. I usually use Intercity who are great. Used Plycar once, it was the worst experience.

Reliable transport enclosed. What if you drive thru a heavy hailstorm! Reliable ships all the high end cars to NYC for the April car show.

I just had my 08 shipped from Texas To Ohio For 1300 in a enclosed trailer By Harrison Motorsport Transport. Two car trailer and the service was excellent I would recommend them to anyone and I would used them again.

I used we-transport it to ship my Vette not issues from Dallas to Boston for $1,000 no issue and professional delivery.
If you want enclosed trailer it was a couple hundred more.
