    Does anyone know of a good shipping company to transport my car from Tampa to Destin?

    I too am looking for options. Need to move the car from Chicago to Miami. I reached out to Intercity Lines, Applewood Motorcar Transport & Pilot Transport. Except for Pilot (yet to hear back) they seem to be booked solid.

    You can try them for your route. No personal experience yet, but they come recommended by the dealer in Chicago whom I'm buying the car from

    Bro , make the dealer handle the shipping as part of your deal.

    Are you trying to keep the miles off or is it not running? That would make a nice drive. I drove my F430 from West Palm Beach to Niceville (10 minutes from Destin). If I had more advance notice, I might have been able to arrange a trailer and my truck and do it for you. With the upcoming holidays, I'd be pressed to get time off from work that's not already scheduled. I'm taking the F430 to West Palm Beach tomorrow and heading back up here on Sunday. Next weekend is booked as well. I could possibly work something out with you the weekend of 19-21. The trailer is open but very nice with a nose guard.

    Send me a PM.... I have someone that I used for my last purchase, and he was VERY good.

    This company is based in Orlando and I have used them myself. Might give you a good price for a short haul.

    Send me a PM when you take delivery. I'd like to see it. Did you get a GTB or GTS?

    I used Blue Star Movers (Yosi @ 954-375-2033) based in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area. They have their own fleet running on the east coast and broker the rest of the country. They had another carrier get my car down from Chicago to Miami.

    Overall I was very happy. They said the car would be picked up on Monday or so, and delivered to me in 7 days max. Car got picked up instead on Wednesday, but the driver had reached to the dealer in Chicago out on Monday and informed that he was delayed.

    I had the car in my possession by Friday and throughout the 5 days the dispatch team was responsive to my calls and emails and kept me up to date.
