So guys- dropping a car off in Fresno than picking up one in LA? Fly/bus/train???

[SuicidnS13]

So I will be delivering a car in Fresno, CA on tuesday. After that I will be carless since my wife cannot follow me out there due to school and our kids school. On top of that Im looking at purchasing a car in LA. How would you guys get from Fresno to LA?

Flights - average 250.00 one way
Train/bus - 40.00 - but god knows how long that trip will be
Taxi - 650.00 Lmao


Options?

train for the win!!! i did it once in NC. it was a good time. took alot of cool pictures. Tad bit boring and def a long trip.. But it was fun> and cheapp

See im thinking the same thing, how ever to LA its itenerary is like so:

Train to Bakersfield
Bus to LA

With LA traffic I dont know how long that will take... Lol.. And im trying to make it back to vegas by midnight on tuesday.... Well atleast 2/3am LOL

Yea its looking more and more like that... Just hoping that the party selling the car would be willing to pick me up from LAX or something

i just checked and jet blue is 155 from sacramento to long beach...maybe that? how far is sacramento from fresno?

[SuicidnS13]

Like 2 hours... Im leaning towards just flying at this point...

I would rather rent a truck with a dolly, haul the car to Fresno, drop it off and then pick up the car in LA and haul it back to Vegas.

If you have to take Greyhound. It won't be more than $50 to LA. Train could work as well but it will cost you more. I have taken Greyhound to the bay area to pick up a car and it cost me $56.
Forget flying unless you like spending money. Plus the fact that the nearest big airport would indeed be Sac. Yes there are flights from Fresno on small airlines( read taking your life in your hands). LOL

[wonpoo]

train and bus transfer is the best bet...but Uhaul dolly sounds like a plan also...hmmm....and Sac is hella! far from Fresno! like 3-4 hours. i would know i live in the middle...

Greyhound +1. My brother goes to UCMerced and he comes down to OC once a month on the Greyhound. Inexpensive but just takes awhile. No biggie.

[misterdumby]

ask a friend to follow you out there...?

i dropped a car off in santa clarita and took amtrack back to sacramento. bus for 2 hours and train for 6 hours. it was long as hell, but it was so much more inexpensive than any other alternative that i couldn't pass it up. and on the train i was able to drink some beers haha

[Ramonesfreak2010]

Aren't you able to take cars on Amtrack?

uhal rent truck and trailer come back with out car on trailer and done.

time round trip 3hrs each way.

cost is just about the same with the flights and all.

[SuicidnS13]

Actually found a flight out for 170.00 from a small town near fresno... So im doing that route... 44 minute flight to LA owns the hassle

I'd do this.

With the cost of getting a dolly and gas etc it'll probably come out about to more than that.
