Some years ago Angie knew an older lady of means who used to snowbird in Palm
Beach. We drove her car down for her a couple times and back up here once. We
took 3 easy days staying in decent hotels each day. She said that it was
cheaper to fly us one way and have us drive the car and much, much faster.Each
time we did the drive it was in a different Cadillac CTS and each time we
doubled the mileage on the car...

The more I think about it, I think it makes more sense to fly down and pick it
up. I know you were just wanting a quote and I think most rough estimates
would be anywhere from $400 to $750. For that much money and for peace of
mind, flying down and driving back would be a better way to go. Its roughly
600 miles. So, its either a long one day drive or spend the night somewhere
and make it an easy two day cruise. That way you don't have to worry about the
car being torn up or taking two weeks to get to you. From all the horror
stories about an open carrier, a covered truck would be better. But, I think
that increases the price quite a bit.
I flew to Tampa once to pick up a car and drive it back. The drive up Florida
was an easy and pleasant part of the trip. I drove from Tampa to Tupelo,
Mississippi (which was almost 750 miles) in the first day. It should be a
decent drive with almost all interstate.

The guy in Boca Raton who purchased my 1970 W111 coupe hired a covered carrier
to PU the car. Very safe way to do this but also pricey. I think he paid
$700. The stupid part is he didn't even have a garage to protect the vehicle
once he took possession in FL.
