Options on DD vehicle transport from East to West
Options on vehicle transport from East to West
My son is going to be working in CA for 4-5 months this fall and obviously wants to have transport while he is there
The initial thought is to transport his VW Touareg via some sort of Auto Transport Co from ATL to San Fran at $xxx. Combine that with CA gas prices on a 16 mpg vehicle and the return trip and it's an expensive proposition, so we are looking at options.
Opt. 1 – Buy a cheap, good mpg car here, and ship it there and back.
Opt. 2 – buy a cheap, good mpg car there and sell it before he leaves. Maybe even a Carmax car
Opt. 3 – public transport to work and rent a car/ use Zip car at weekends (He is outdoorsy so will want to go hiking, climbing etc )
Opt. 4 - Drive Treg or cheap car from ATL – SF himself
I looked at the Amtrak Autotrain but it seems to be east coast only.
Anyone have any other out-of-the-box suggestions?
