Shipping
- Thread starter Toyota h8r
- Start date
A flat bed is probably your best bet. I had a car shipped from Gary, Indiana to Milwaukee, WI. It only cost me $100 with a small discount.

search on line for automobile transportation companies, its a common thing, that or just rent a car, drive out, drive it back, that depends on your trust in the car and its condition though

Typically you're looking at $600+ to have a transport company get it...
Ask a local towing company to go and fetch it for you, or find a towing company near the car and make arrangements for them to tow (flatbed) it to you.

Find a truck, rent a dolly and just go get it. That doesn't sound like too far of a haul... Of course it would be insured if someone else went and got it for you. You aren't thinking about the mkII in Louisville, are you?
Best bet is to find someone's truck that's up to the task of hauling a car, then pick up a flatbed two-axle trailer from u-haul wherever the car is located, and drive it back, then drop the trailer off at your local u-haul place.
^^ exactly what I did... paid gas fees and he drove. Got to stay at his then GF's house, free food, free room... drive back sucked tho, I just wanted to drive the car :icon_razz
