Carriers: Going direct with a carrier is a cheaper option and eliminates the middleman (broker). You can use online sites such as www.USHIP.com to create the details of your shipment and how much you are willing to pay to have the vehicle delivered. Carriers will go through your information and make offers or ask questions. The same issues apply as I listed above about having access to the car in case a semi is used. When you deal direct with the carrier, you can hammer out all of the details of the delivery ahead of time. Make sure your price is all inclusive and that there are no additional charges possible. Also insure they have all of the proper insurance and licenses.

You can also call carriers direct for quotes instead of using USHIP. I found it was really difficult to find actual carriers. Google searches usually produced brokers and not the actual carriers.
