Default transporting car from long island

hello to all

We are finally making our way to TV. I have learned so much from these forums and now have some questions. We need to send one car down by some sort of means. We are from Long Island. Are there any suggestions or recommendations. Thank you. Soon to be in Liberty Park, Barbara and Patrick

One partial solution (not fully sure of your circumstances) would be to drive it to Lorton VA (just outside Wash DC) and put it on the Amtrak AutoTrain, which departs about 4pm and arrives in Sanford FL (about an hour from TV) at about 8:30 am in the morning.

Auto train is a good suggestion.....here is another site http://www.autodriveaway.com I have never used them but inquired about being a driver for them....just did not match with any cars going my way!

Search Auto Carriers on the net. As an over the road driver (retired) there are a lot of carriers that come south empty, and load at the auctions down here and return back north. The cost now probably will be a little higher with diesel fuel at $4.20 or more a gallon.
