    I'd like to hear people's personal experience with different shipping companies. Actual vs estimated time to deliver, damage vs undamaged, claim handling, customer service, and price. I've been referred to Reliable and Horseless. DAS is inexpensive but the reviews make me nervous.

    Thanks in advance!

    I've used Intercity Lines twice, and was completely satisfied with their service.

    First was a car from Detriot to Boston, and second time was a car from Boston to Atlanta.

    Pick up was on time, delivery was on time, good communication with the driver, no issues with damage, good pre inspection and post inspection. white glove treatment from start to finish.

    I would highly recommend them...

    I recently used "Rockstar Trasnport" driver was Brad Wendel. He used a LOW ride height two car enclosed transport to ship my 360 in less than two days time, while nearly every other shipper I got quotes from said it would be a week to 10 days to get the car. Kept in contact by texting, and he usually replied in minutes. Was one of the less expensive shipping quotes I had too.
    (651) 253-6651 is Brad's number

    I've used Horseless Carriage at least a dozen times and they have been great. Not one complaint.

    PLYCAR is who I have used and they were great, I would highly recommend them. Very professional, and they were much quicker than the rest would have been. Car was on-time and looked amazing. They were very responsive, and had very good communication with me the whole time.

    I've used Intercity and Thomas Sunday many times, excellent drivers. I do tip them well before and after delivery.

    I have used Intercity and they are also a sponsor, great experience.

    I have used Plycar and they were good except they held onto car more than a week waiting for a truck to head this way from Northwest. Roy Cats mostly uses Plycar and highly recommends them.

    For high end concours, high end cars, or just multiple cars around the Midwest I recommend Heavy Traffic Trucking.

    Funny enough intercity held onto a car I was shipping for about an extra week also-but they let me know where they were each step of the way. Of course when they got here the car wouldn't start-but hey that wasn't fully their fault ha ha

    Passport brought my car down from NH last month and I have nothing but good things to say about them.
    I used a local outfit to bring my DD and it was a bit of a nightmare. You get what you pay for.

    Don't mess around. Use Intercity. I've used them numerous times and they provided the perfect shipping experience. I believe they offer an Fchat discount---they definitely offer a Rennlist discount.

    Intercity gets my vote as well. Used them three times so far without any issues.

    I'm a dealer, and need to transport cars around the country frequently.

    I used to use Reliable and Intercity, both of which were great, but this summer I discovered GT Motorsports. Since then, I've done almost all of my shipping with them. Enclosed transport, and they own their own trucks. I've shipped everything from a 911 to an F40 with them, and I've always been extremely pleased, and so are my customers. Prices are also extremely competitive, if not cheaper than the others.

    I highly recommend them. Not affiliated in any way, just a very happy customer.

    I used Pilot to ship my Evora from Portland to Michigan. The dealer I bought from was a Ferrari dealer also and that is who the recommended.

    I have also used INTERCITY. First rate experience. I am sure there others that are as good. But they get my vote.
