Default Reliable Car Transportation Companys

I need some options on a reliable transportation company that you guys have used and would recommend. I'm moving to Colorado in a few months and want my baby to arrive in one piece. I prefer an enclosed truck.

Here ya go. They are excellent. Kept me informed all the way. Fast, courteous, and prompt. Just call Zyg and he can make it happen for you. They're a Corvette Forum sponsor and that will get you a discount. Still not cheap, but worth the peace of mind.

I used a sponsor from the forum "Angels moving autos" . I had an enclosed truck from NY to Florida and was very happy. I also had friends that used "reliable transport " and heard only good things about them

STARTUP13,

Intercity Lines will be glad to give you a CF rate for your move to CO. Just let us know where in CO you are going and what make and model vehicle and we will be glad to shoot you over a price quote.

Thanks,
Jim

Reliable transported my ZR-1 from Annapolis to SC enclosed for $600. Texted with me and sent pics the whole day. Only took about 8 hours. I was his only customer that day!

I just got a quote from Cavalier Auto Transport for 895.00 shipping my C4 from NM to ND (1000 miles).
I've never shipped a vehicle before but they seem to have very good reviews and reasonable prices.

I had my latest '96 CE shipped from Chicago to Denver enclosed by Plycar, LLC out of Kings Park, NY. Service was excellent and they did a local delivery right to my development. Their driver was a real professional and handled my car like it was one of the Bentleys he also had on board. Cost was $900.00 but the pick up was complicated for the company so, no complaints!

Good luck. Angels gave me a discount for being a forum member. I would use them again but if that was the price then it would be reliable. They transported most of the cars for the NY car shows in the Javitts center.

Just received word this morning that my vette will be picked up this evening for delivery to me in a quoted two days. I'll follow up with my carrier experience to help anyone looking for transportation of their Vette's.
Looks like its going to be a 3200 lb paperweight though until the weather warms up. =(
