Default Which Auto Shipper

I need to ship my garaged baby from NC to OR next month.
I'll do an enclosed trailor.

Can any of you point me in the right direction?
There are so many shippers out there, that I don't know where to start.

Who to trust?
Who to stay away from?



Thanks

PZ

Ugh

Thanks for the reply.
2 out of 3 cars damaged

I was wanting to avoid wintery roads...salt, road grime...but geez...it almost sounds like driving it would be safer than shipping it. I am the type of guy that would just flip out if someone was smoking in my car.

I will give horizon a call.

Thanks for your help!

Ask at the motors discussion board on eBay. Members are professional sellers, mechanics and transporters.

I've shipped 2 cars from the Arizona area to New York. Both times I've used
"Affordable Auto Transport", they were, ironically......the most affordable. As it were they only secure a 3rd party transporter for you. Both times no damage, no complaints aside from the fact that I wasnt there to load the Z up. As the vehicle is being loaded the driver circles all prior damage on a picture on the waiver form. This guy circles at least 90% of the car, which is hilarious if you've seen my car. This basically gave him an out if anything did happen.

I've used DAS before to ship a bike. It's a pretty stressful process, but I didn't have any problems with them.

I've also used DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers) for a car i sold on ebay. Never had any problems and they seemed pretty professional. They document all damage previously on the car and give you a copy. Anything that shows up after that is on them.

Intercity Lines seems to have stellar reputation, but they may be quite expensive. They are the official shippers for Barrett Jackson.
