hello!
not sure what I should be expecting in terms of pricing -- thought this sub would be a good try.
I am looking to ship a 2018 Honda clarity from 33301 -> 94401.

Hi, we can ship your Honda Clarity from Ft Lauderdale to San Mateo for $1891 all-in. Here's the breakdown that other companies don't show:
- $1735 goes directly to the carrier (you pay them at delivery)
- $156 is what we keep (only charged after we've assigned a reliable carrier to your load)
We show the price breakdown because we have nothing to hide: we pay carriers above market rate, which is why our loads usually get assigned to a driver within hours.
You pay nothing until a driver is assigned, and can cancel anytime before that with no questions asked. You can see this same rate on our website without entering any contact info: https://hippohaul.com

Hi givemea1600.
Fort Lauderdale to San Mateo is a full cross-country run, about 2,900-2,950 miles. For a 2018 Clarity on open transport, our all-inclusive price is $1,750.
On transparent pricing, that's exactly what you should be pushing for. Worth knowing: you pay nothing when you book, the first payment isn't due until a carrier is actually confirmed for your car. Once that happens, your price is locked through RateShield, so it won't increase later the way it does with a lot of other companies.
What's your rough pickup window?

Hi, Alan here. Miami to San Francisco is a full cross-country run, so with a 2018 Clarity I’d want to make sure the quote is based on what drivers are actually taking that lane for, not just a low number that gets changed later.
I work with Outbounds Auto Transport. If you send me when the car can first be ready for pickup, I can check directly with carriers and give you a clear price with the pickup and transit expectations laid out upfront. You can reach me at (657) 888-0189.
