    not sure who the best is... but I can tell you DO NOT use Allen Auto Transport or Tonne (pronounced tony) Transport.

    Reliable auto transport picked up the car when I sold it. They were extra cautious. You can confirm with NSXRICK I think his name is.

    Do NOT use VIP Transport: had a bad experience with them and they never even apologized. I am still angry and can't be bothered to go into details but basically they scraped my car and their attitude after that was zero. They never apologized and had to be proddded repeatedly for the insurance refund.

    I've used Intercity Lines for years with great results. they just took a full truck load (six cars) out to our home in AZ from the east coast without a hitch and got there a day early. You can talk to the drivers when they're on the road.

    Passport/FedEx, by the way this is who Jerry Sienfeld uses exclusively for his Pcars. They are always early and the drivers are the best.

    Not to hijack...this may help op also...but..


    What's a reasonable amount of time to give a Transporter to scheduale a pickup? I bought a 328 from a guy up north, and still no sign of a any schedueled pick-up (Horseless Caraige). It's been 2 weeks and they cannot seem to get it scheduled. Is this a normal time span? My first car shipment....

    Thanks
    Dave

    VIP (based in NC) did a decent job for me at a reasonable price. They did pick up a 2 days later than initially scheduled. Delivery was also sidetracked another day. The driver was good, though, and took nice care of the car. He even pulled an extra set of wheels out of the car and secured them separately so that the seats weren't damaged.

    I've used HC twice. First time was great, the second time was awful.

    I've been impressed with Intercity Lines.

    Intercity from CO to CA. Great equipment and knowledgeable drivers. To answer the question about scheduling, it does take some time to arrange pickup. I know we all think they have hundreds of semis circling the country but it's not quite that easy.I think mine took about 2 weeks. The seller kept e-mailing me about when they'd come get the car. Intercity will ask you where the best loading/unloading spot is and will be there waiting for you.

    I also have used Reliable multiple times (Nsx and Ferrari) for coast to coast. They cannot be beat for accurate estimates on pickup and arrival. They are reasonable on cost and are super careful with your car.

    have used passport/fedex, intercity, and exotic transport( big yellow trucks) the drivers move from company to company and remember they are responsible for their own insurance and will do their best to NOT put a claim in..be cautious

    Unacceptable. I'd can 'em and call around some more. I've used them and was pleased but 2 weeks is nuts.

    I know some people who's had bad experiences with them. They refuse to pay for full damages if they screw up your car. I wouldn't use them.

    Just used Intercity and they were great. Picked up on Long Island 3 days after car was ready, and delivered to Ohio the next evening. Talk to the drivers on the way by cell, delivered right to my doorstep...AWESOME SERVICE!!!!

    your delay in transporting a car currently is due to the time of year. Between the holidays up coming and then the Barrett Jackson and Russo Steele Auction in January your lucky to get a transport to schedule anything until February. I just received a car from Colorado to Delaware last Sunday. I used Intercity lines. They were one day later than planned but I was able to talk to the driver throughout the five day journey and realized the delay days in advance. They covered the car while inside the transport. Not a scratch and the driver was courteous. Good Luck Jon in Delaware
