It would depend on if I had a large enough vehicle to get the speakers all the way inside, (like a large cargo van without rear seats). Where I live, the weather can change really quickly, so they would have to be covered and safely secured the whole trip.
If I had to rent such vehicle, I would need to add all the expenses together and see if it really was cheaper than having a crate built and shipped.
That said, I have driven (2) different times to pick up speakers. Once was around an 8 hour each way drive and the other was around a 6 hour each way drive. Both times it worked out great and saved me quite a bit of money and I felt very good about the condition of the speakers once I got home.
