Shipping my car - looking for carrier recommendations

Hi,

Need to ship my car 1,800 miles.

Googled shippers and get aggressive sales people calling back and trying to high pressure me into committing (w/visa card) to use them.

Who to use?

Any help would be great.

Thanks, Steve

Depends on what you want. If you want to be certain of things, covered transport is the best but more expensive.

I actually just shipped a RC F in an open carrier from Cali To Miami for $900. That is cheap. Car arrived 4 days ahead of schedule without a scratch but it was covered in dirt lol.This was using uship.com, you put in the data and companies apply for your business.

Hi Everyone!

I'm bumping this thread for recommendations on enclosed carriers. Specifically anyone who has shipped an SLS. I'm worried about the doors in an enclosed carrier.

Thanks in advance
