Dealers can give you that price, I was quoted between $500-$1500. Closed will cost more, but open will be fine as that's how most cars are moved.

Can you fly over and drive it back cheaper????

If you do choose to have it shipped instead, open would be fine - closed is more expensive and won't protect from major accidents. And such a short trip........ I'd not be too worried. A friend has an open trailer he hauls three VERY nice show cars on, all around the country. (yeah, it's a multi-level trailer)

I rent with Avis and pick it up at my local airport. I have never had an airport attendant charge me for one way rental when I drop it off... of course I don’t tell them it is one way when I pick it up either. You might have problems with the smaller in town offices because they don’t get the volume of cars coming in so rely on knowing when your car is coming back.
