Default Auto transport?

Looking to transport a Corvette from upstate NY to MN. Any ideas on fast and cost efficient transportation? Thanks

I used Ace Auto Movers out of Osceola, Indiana. They were very efficient, and kept in touch with me during the whole ordeal (my car was coming out of Montana, NOT a regular route for most transporters.) I did a search and found them on a website that "rated" transporters, and they had the best record I could find, and were NOT the most expensive either.

by the way, a word of advice from having learned the hard way, make sure your car is on top, pay extra if you have to, unless you want to scrape your car off before you can even get into it...You won't believe what drips from some cars...

Whom ever you select, get alot of high quality pictures of both the inside and outside of the car, just in case.

I had a great experience with Exotic Car Transport out of Florida. They run all over the US and are real Pros. Can't say enough good about about them.

The drivers like to stand on the hoods of the lower cars when securing down the upper cars from below with their chains. I saw this when mine was being loaded on the upper level. I told the guy to keep mine on top, and he did.
