One Way Road Trip [closed] - Positive loving young couple in casual outfits and backpacks holding hands while strolling on asphalt road between lush tropical trees during hiking in park

Is it possible to ship a car to a destination in order to drive it back? I would like to take a long road-trip through two or three of the Americas but wont have the patience to do it twice.

Can I somehow send my car there and drive it back? Does this require special permits? How much does it cost and how long would does the transport take?



Best Answer

Back in 2004/2005 a friend of mine successfully sent a car by rail from Toronto to Vancouver and then back a few months later. There was a company dealing specifically with shipping cars that arranged this, there were a lot of restrictions (e.g. you can have absolutely nothing in the car), but it was possible. I'd imagine there's probably something like this in the US as well. The other option is to just buy a cheap car and either donate or sell it at your final destination.
