Enclosed transport recommendations
I will be shipping the new sled from northeast to waaaaay southwest and it has been some years since I have used a transport company. Anyone have any strong impressions, good or bad, about particular enclosed transport providers.
Thanks much.

unfortunately, local dealers are really out of the loop, and I would not want the C7 in their hands, even briefly. So courtesy delivery just did not seem like a prudent option.......

Intercity is a Forum vendor and offers a modest discount (7% I think) but they are one of the higher priced ones to start with but have a great reputation for service.
Intercity Lines ONLY offers enclosed, insured, lift gate loading and door to door service. All our transporters are equipped with drip barriers to protect lower lever vehicles from upper level vehicles. We also secure each vehicle down using nylon wheels saddles over the tires only, that way the car rides on it's own suspension, the safest way for the car to travel. We also cover each car with a cloth car cover and a plastic cover for added protection while inside the transporter. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us @ 800-221-3936.
Thanks,
Jim

Others are Plycar, used by Mike Furman at Criswell and others; Reliable, FedEx Passport.
Make sure you understand the pickup and delivery windows for each company you consider so you know it they will work with/for you. Many companies quote a window of plus/minus 7 days or more, some as much as a month.
Here's a recent discussion with more info:

Kiwi delivered my 2013 Viper to my doorstep. I had a minor issue with them at first (truck broke down and no one called me to tell me). But once that was sorted I was pleased.
Getting the car delivered to your doorstep is a fantastic experience.

I've used Exotic Car Transports in Orlando on several cars, and been very satisfied with their rates and the way they take of the car. I think Rogers Corvettes uses them almost exclusively as well as Classic Cars of the South.

I had an excellent experience with David Mazzalupo of Mazzalupo Carriers. He brought my C6 convertible from New Jersey to Florida. I wasn't present at either pickup or delivery, but Mazzalupo picked up the car on time from the dealer, provided excellent documentation and photos of loading process. Obtained dealers signature on statement of condition, bill of lading, etc. Applied protective tape, etc. Enclosed transport priced below what brokers were offering. Car was expertly handled and delivered on time. I'd used this carrier again without reservation.
