vehicle shipping

A quick search here hasn't turned up much information.

Does anyone have RECENT experience shipping their se7ens? (closed carrier, etc..)? Others report good experience with passport but i expect there are other acceptable options.

 

I'm old fashioned and like referrals, especially considering the plethora of companies out there.

 

Thanks

I can second Gary at Straight Roads. I used him in April to get the car from Denver to NYC. The only catch to be aware of is that he is a small operation - only 3 trucks. So you may have to wait depending on direction being shipped.

I've used a number of shipping companies, and without promoting one company over another, I will just say you ABSOLUTELY get what you pay for when shipping a car. Do not use a broker, but go directly to the shipper. Ship only enclosed, and only with a company that has a DOT number.

 

Horseless Carriage and Thomas Sunday are always good options. Pretty much anyone that ships at the various auctions (Barrett Jackson, etc.) is probably a good choice.

I'm also looking for shipping options from the Philadelphia area to the Los Angeles area. I've contacted the companies listed here (by email and phone) but have heard back from only 1.

 

The only quote I have so far is $1750 for delivery from Philadelphia to Los Angeles by enclosed carrier. How does this compare?

 

Thanks,

Aaron

I've requested quotes online from several carriers. This has resulted in a deluge of offeres. These have generally been ~ 6-700 open carrier, and ~ 1100 closed.

This is also for a KY -> NH move.

I just received more quotes this morning.

 

Philadelphia to Los Angeles:

 

$1080 open (only 1 company provided an open carrier quote)

 

$1550-2235 enclosed

Make sure you use an enclosed carrier so your car stays out of the weather and it keeps lookers from messing with it when the truck is stopped and as someone else has said make sure they have a current DOT number. My close friend that restores cars uses this company and has never had a problem with them. http://www.intercitylines.com/
