What does it cost to get one shipped to Vancouver? And how long does it take?

I’m trying to plan my honeymoon for next summer, we’re planning on flying to Seattle and driving to SoCal down the PCH. I’m having a hard time finding a decent car to rent that I want to drive down (350Z, Mustang V8, G35 sedan, etc) and as a last resort I’d take my own car from Vancouver. The damn Shelby GT500H are all booked solid next summer also. 😃 Would anyone know who in Seattle would rent a decent car for a non-exorbitant price?

I’ve shipped with them a few times from Van to Calgary and once from Quebec to Calgary. From Van to Calgary was around $300-350. They are located in Calgary…

When we where in oragon we took a 1 way rental… You drive it to where your going and they pick it up. No need to take it back… It was really cool.

$371 SeaRail.

Or…

Fly down to SanDiego and buy a car, drive it back, sell it, pocket the profit.

No it’s not a one way trip. Fly to Seattle, rent a car, drive south, come back to Seattle, and fly back. It’s the rental car thing though, everything I could find sucks so far.

So as an alternative I was thinking about sending my car to Van and making the trip with it.
