There are quite a few, and just as many opinions and positive experiences....
Timing is one major factor - if you want the car right away you are going to pay extra.
I just talked with a guy last night who used the new FedEx service: excellent job, excellent price, and three day delivery -- why don't you go to their website and get a quote?

I'm sure everyone will chip-in now for you......
Oh, and congrats on the new car. The Cayenne Turbos are awesome!

You can't go wrong with Gary Almond. He specializes in Vipers (he owns a supercharged Viper) but moves a lot of other exotics as well. You can reach him through his website at www.almondexotictransports.com. He'll move it like it's his.

I also used FedEx, to ship my car to Kleemann (Cleveland to Colorado).
All enclosed carriers, at a great price and very good service.

I've used DAS autoshippers half a dozen times with no problems. They are nationwide and international. Online instant quotes with different drop off and pick up options.
