Helping family member relocate in USA

[sunbeam alpine]

My nephew has got himself in a spot of bother (lost job etc.) in America.

He needs to move himself and his stuff back to his mother's - a journey of about 3000 miles.

Any suggestions of the cheapest way to do this?

One-way car rental? What are the cheapest firms over there?

Grateful for any suggestions, know nothing about the US.

U-Haul!

U-haul want nearly $1800!

I've looked at Hertz one-way rental and that's coming in at about $1000 for a 7 seater monovolume.

Wondering whether anyone had any cheaper suggestions (as I'm going to end up paying for this one)

[Matt Harper]

How much "stuff"? Could he box it all up, send it UPS/FedEx Ground and buy a JetBlue one-way?

[jeff m2]

A split load carrier might be cheaper than UPS or similar. Slower though.
Look for a freight broker in his local yellow pages.

Thanks for the replies Matt & Jeff.

As you're both in the US, could you suggest any companies/web sites I could have a look at?

I've been googling all afternoon but I know nothing about the US. I haven't found anything yet

You could look at Yellow (YRC), JB Hunt, CR England and Old Dominion
