Default Car Shipping Companies
Anyone had a car shipped in the last few years and have a shipping company/broker that you'd recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I shipped a C3 from Orlando to SLC in a covered trailer for $1,200 in 2019. They did a great job, let me pull my file and see if I have a contact for you.

In case someone wants to ship a bike

In 2016, I bought a Harley from a dealer I knew personally. I didn't feel like driving it back and used this company.

Reliable.

https://www.reliablecarriers.com/


I use to know a concierge service, 1 car enclosed trailer that’s moved my car and others friends many time but “the guy” got a girlfriend and quit. Always perfect.

Charged me $1,200 from NC to Detroit


All depends who to use based on enclosed, distance etc. Watch for brokers that will move car to a yard and reload on other truck

What ya shipping?

I used them to transport my Mercedes AMG GTS from Tampa to my driveway in an enclosed trailer last July. $1200 and they were very careful with the car.
