Question

How much does it cost to fly on an airplane and take my vehicle too?

Answer 1

Do you plan on checking the Vehicle or is it a carry on? haha no I think the cost are too much. I doubt you can find someone that will do it. My recomendation is ship your vehicle by trailer (Services like that exsist, Ebay) and you fly and just wait for your car to arrive.

Answer 2

Flying your vehicle would be too expensive. If you must have it at your destination, ship by sea or rail. A car in a container to Europe from N.A..would cost you about $2000.. and take about 3 weeks.

Answer 3

Dani, it requires a Boeing 747 aircraft, prearrangements, and about $3-10,000 over and above your ticket, one-way. This is only available in a few markets. The vehicle may not or may be on the same flight as you are. It is normally impractical to do this, but can be done for special reasons.

Regards,

Dan

Answer 4

Amrak used to have auto shipping trains but i don't know if they still do.

otherwise rent a car or ship it by sea

there is a shipping line called Hoeg auto liners made epically for that service

Answer 5

It's a neat idea, but it really is not practical.  There are air cargo services that will ship a car and let you ride in the jump seat, but it could easily cost you $12,000, as compared to the couple of hundred base price to rent a car at your destination.

Once when I was flying air cargo in old piston-engine airplanes, we flew a Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible to a buyer in Yellowknife, in the Canadian North Woods.  I think they charged him about $6,000, and that was 25 years ago.

I was never more nervous about banging up a cargo item than I was about that Rolls.

And yes, Amtrak still runs the AutoTrain from Washington DC to Miami and back.  See http://www.amtrak.com.

Answer 6

Well, I don't think there aren't many airlines that will take vehicles as checked or carry on luggage.

If you are going to move the vehicle permanently I would ship it in a container.  Should be a few thousand bucks.

If it is only a short trip, I would rent a car; it is much easier.

For prices, you need to give departure and destination cities.
