I called a few and best I could find was $700 each... which is more than I paid for them!!! LOL!!! But we're moving and I'm not getting rid of them so it is what it is.

Are you doing the move yourself? Best I can recommend is, if they are rolling at least, is rent a U-Haul with a tow-dolley, and take each one down as you make multiple trips. I've done this with other cars... just kind of a pain. Plan out your trip, get a hotel that has easy in and out access with a very large parking lot that you can turn around in.

Having moved several Fieros across the U.S and across the Pacific Ocean, I can attest that $700 each per non-running vehicle is a very good price. My suggestion: Jump on this quickly before the carrier wakes up.
Most carriers are private contractors and if you have gone through a company instead of directly with the carrier, chances are the $700 will only result in $550 in the carrier’s pocket.

I'm with Mike, the distance looks like it's 700 miles, The $700 dollars is a very good rate. So it would be $2100 for all three. Take a look at what you have, decide if it's worth it, or is selling what you have and picking up a few Fiero's near the new house.
Saving $2100 and what you could get for the 3 cars, you might come out ahead. Good Luck.

Hey, I may or may not still be interested in that t top Fiero haha, if it was advantageous for you to sell it and buy another/something else with the saved shipping cost and proceeds of the sale.
Edit: Hmm, while with my tax returns coming soon I could probably afford the car itself, I don't think I'd be able to ex/import it to NB without a title, and having to pay 40% in taxes and tariffs to get it into Canada will make it likely a bad deal, distance notwithstanding. So yeah, if you end up deciding you can get something better where you're moving, the most I'd be able to buy is the roof and some parts, but at that point, you can just take the parts and junk the rest of the car anyhow, so yeah, I want t tops haha, but that easier said than done considering where I live hahaha.

Do not tell U-Haul you are towing a Fiero. They will deny the rental.
WARNING On a tow dolly, tow the Fiero backwards with the engine (weight) on the cradle. Tie down the rear deck lid. / WARNING
I just bought a very nice tow dolly for $1,000.00. Used. They make them with brakes (mine, used, does not have them).
You can find online transport brokers that reach independent car carriers and their locations across the USA. There are 100's of car carriers moving across the USA daily. The brokers work on commissions by posting the available jobs and locations online. The car carrier owners respond to the broker and if they have space along their route or after a run you can get a competitive price that is typically agreed to in advance. The brokers charge about $200 to locate the carrier and when your cars arrive you pay the balance in cash. I've had good experiences using the service but you sometimes have to wait a couple of days so that a carrier will be in the right location for the pickup. This is only for open car transport. Closed transport can run about 3-6X the price.
