Transporting car from Boston to SF Bay Area

Parent Cafe

<p>I’ve tried searching for old threads on this, but cannot find anything recent. </p>

<p>Since DS will be in Bay Area (Mountain View) for a year, he thinks having his car would be helpful. Has anyone used a transport company they would recommend?</p>

<p>I have used DAS (Dependable Auto Shipper) twice and have been satisfied. You can read reviews on more recommended auto transport companies in movingscam.com.</p>

<p>Can he just drive it there?</p>

<p>Simple. </p>

<ol>
<li>Take I-90 Westbound. </li>
<li>Go 635 miles to Cleveland where it merges with I-80. </li>
<li>Continue another 2462 miles on I-80. </li>
<li>Follow US-101 to your destination.</li>
</ol>

<p>bookworm…
When we sent Goskid’s car back east, I got some info/knowledge from one of these posts. BTW…S did do the cross country trip twice…had a great time the first time, not so much the second, since he and a friend did it in two days. Must have been a Great Party that they raced back for :rolleyes:</p>

<p>CRDad,</p>

<p>Thanks for the laugh! He’s a little overwhelmed, trying to find an apartment with roommates, get work done before the move. Plus, it will probably snow on his way out. He seems to be a magnet for snowstorms whenever he travels.</p>

<p>It is frustrating; the company we’ve used 2x is quoting us $225 more than others, even though I sent them scans of prior moves. Well, this too shall pass.</p>

<p>We used Cascade Auto Shipping to ship d’s car from East Coast to SF Bay Area and they were great.</p>

<p>my former office manager’s s/o left the big company, started his own. He is 2nd highest bid, but we decided to go with him. If anything goes wrong, I know where he lives!!</p>

<p>After applying to 25+ apartments with roomies, the worm fnally got confirmation. Not one of my favs, but will do.</p>

<p>By Feb. 7, he will be settled across country. Then, the process will begin again. </p>

<p>And no one questions why I turn to ginvodka/wine.</p>
