Car transporter

Post by AoT »

A friend needs to have a car transported to Dallas TX from the Island. Anyone have a recommendation for a carrier? Thanks.

What's the time frame, and does the car run? Lol
Would it make the trip to TX under its own power?

Lol, it's not a vintage car. just a daily driver. Yes, it would make it on it's own power!
My friend's daughter is taking an internship in Dallas this summer and bc she is under 25 she cannot rent a car so they need to get their own car there. Needs to be there early June.

I am not asking too many questions about the rationale or logistics! ;) :?

passport transport is good but more expensive. I've used them. they are there own company not a broker. also some rental car companies will rent to young folks. when I was 18 -25 I rented cars all the time in California and if I traveled. some charge an extra fee if your underage. I used to use enterprise and they did not charge extra for an 18yr old to rent a car. but maybe things have changed that was 20 years ago

Toby couldn't rent a car until he was 25.
