Default Corvette transportation, any recommendations

I'm going to have the Vette transported from Austin, TX to Phoenix Arizona. Can anyone recommend a good transport company with an open truck.

When I bought my viper I called around till I found a good place that had a truck coming from california to phoenix. Because he had one spot free ended up getting it shipped for less then $500 from San Francisco to Phoenix. Defintely worth using google/qwestdex.com and calling everyone you can find.

I shipped my Supra via http://horselesscarriage.com/

Price wasn't horrible, service was outstanding. Door to door shipping, and they babied my baby all the way.

Check out FedEx Passport, they were absolutely perfect in every way. Dirt cheap for an enclosed transport too!

Try Intercity Lines. They transport fancy cars and are the transport sponsor for Barrett Jackson auctions.

Watch out for brokers and gypsies.

Still looking for a company that can transport my Vette for a fair price. I'm looking for a open truck since the car is only going from Texas to Arizona.

You may want to try Cowboy Transport, I used them about a month ago to ship my Benz and it came out to 700 (open trailer) The quote for the vette was 650 but both locations to be shipped to were South Carolina..............Hope that helps
