    I've never shipped a vehicle before and am looking for some pointers. The vehicle will ship from Prescott Valley, Arizona to Eugene, Oregon. $1300 is the highest quote.

    I'm texting a broker now who requires a $300 Zelle fee.

    Any advice on where to begin would be welcome.

    Zelle can't be refunded or canceled.
    I would find a different broker.

    Oh, be careful with that, pal. My daughter shipped her car from Cal. to Colorado, it was a nightmare. The car was almost lost. What these car haulers do, is they "pool" your car if they aren't going your way to someone that is. It doesn't pay to schlep one car to the middle of nowhere. There are reputable car haulers, but you get what you pay for. The higher quotes are the ones that will give door to door service, otherwise, good luck. If you can't haul it yourself, maybe drive the dang thing, but any shipping is usually a PITA.

    I would drive her myself, but she needs expensive engine repair. Am checking car carriers now.

    Why not drive it there yourself and save the aggravation?

    Prescott to Oregon 1,120 miles @ 20 mpg = 55 gallons X $4.00 per gallon = $220.00
    One night hotel = $150
    One way Southwest ticket home - Portland to Phoenix, AZ = $250
