Location Transport

What are the different options for moving a car across the country?

I need to move a Toyota Camry 97 from Southern California to South Carolina (near Charleston) at the end of March. The options I've found so far are drive-away, rail, and getting it shipped. Can someone give me different company names or recommendations? Especially for transporting it by train since I'm having difficulty in finding those companies. I've spoken to about 30 different shipping companies, and for getting it shipped on a car carrier (like those for dealerships) is going to cost me around $800 - $1000, and I'm looking for a cheaper option.

1. As an over the road truck driver I would take the car carrier option. Going to uhaul and renting something to tow it yourself plus the cost of gasoline and your time would probably be a lot more. Check out North American Van Lines or any other Van Line Company. Check out Schneider National. Check out National Car. Check out Swift Van Lines. Go to mymovingquote.com AA Advantage Auto transport is another. The price you have is pretty cheap counting the 2500 miles or so is only about .32 to .40 cents per mile. That is pretty cheap freight. Look around on the internet and make lots of calls. Rail takes Many, Many weeks where as trucks only take a week or so. Good luck
