I've had 2 separate cars shipped to me in about the last year and a half. The first was done by Fedex Passport and the other was done by Horseless Carriage transport. Another transport company with a good reputation is Thomas Sunday Transport. These are all enclosed container companies.
The downside of enclosed trailer transport is that it's pricey...figure about $1/mile hauled. But the service was excellent and I wouldn't do it any other way. If the car is clean and shiney when it's loaded, it'll be clean and shiney when it's delivered.
Google is your friend.

When I had my Vette shipped cross country, I used a company called DAS Shipping. http://das.ebay.com/
It was in an enclosed trailer and unfortunately the front bumper was damaged during transport. The good thing was that they paid for all the repairs at the shop of my choosing and didn't try in the slightest to get out of paying. Accidents do occur and I was glad they were a decent company to deal with.
They also have something where you can track where you car is during the entire trip. You know exactly where you car is, how long it's there, etc.

I had 2 cars moved last month by Angels moving autos. Both cars came from upstate NY to Miami, Fla. One cost me 900, the other 625. Don't know why the cost difference. However, I highky reccomend them. Good communication between company, driver, and myself. BTW they had the highest rating in a transport comparison, don't remember the site, but as the other guy said GOOGLE!!

I used "www.Aceautomovers.com" out of Indiana and had very good success with them. They were inexpensive, had good reports (I found them by a search of "recommended" transport companies) and they kept in touch with me through the whole process. I went with an open trailer, but lucked out as mine was the only car hauled by a guy who usually hauled RVs, one at a time.
