Not sure if this is the right place, but I'm trying to gather info on shipping a car from NC to TX. Anybody have any experience or have a company to suggest???

Why don't you just contract me to fly out and drive it back??

(Without the dog, of course.)

Believe it or not FedEx will ship your car. A co-worker of mine bought a car on Ebay and had FedEx ship it up to Boston from Georgia. Check out this link

Definitely another option to consider for vehicle shipment.

I believe FedEx bought Passport, which was one of the premium shippers.

That is good to know. I'm filing that away for future use. Thanks!

I can tell you that there are two shipping companies that are the "Official Shippers of Barrett-Jackson"......

http://www.passport.fedex.com/

And Steve is right - Passport was purchased by Fed-Ex in 2000.

I saw lots of Passport trucks at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in West Palm Beach.

I just had a car shipped ('05 Mercedes S 600) that I bought from a dealer. I used their primary shipper - Dealer-to-Dealer. I had it shipped in an enclosed trailer that was air conditioned. They did a great job and got it here without any damage in 2 1/2 days. They gave me an exact pick-up and delivery date. I scheduled it 2 days before the pick up date.

Fed Ex will not give you a scheduled pick-up or delivery date. And, they said it could have taken up to 3 weeks to get my car.

Call Goldrush motorsports transport. I have used them to ship my Vette, My Wife's Vet, and countless custom motorcycles from my shop. No complaints.
