Auto transport.
I believe that 'National' is a very large and stable carrier and they pride themselves on safe transport. But if you google 'Auto Transport' you can get a free quote right now and choose a company to transport your new purchase. I'd like National, but there many top notch transporters, I'm trying to think of the one who does all the Barret-Jackson work.

I just had my 04 Z06 shipped from Vegas to St Louis. It was over 1100 miles I think and I had it done for $650. People were great to deal with. Great communication throughout.

I am looking into shipping also and their website flat out lies when you compare the "Why Trust us' representations to the "Terms". So BS right from the jump. I am not saying you did not have a good experience but there BS is right in your face on their website re: they fking subcontract to some carrier, god knows who, and then push the liability off to the sub per their contact with the sub. Same old **** different day.

For enclosed I'd use intercity.
For open call reindeer.
Enclosed is not cheap.
Right now rates coast to coast are 750 to 850 for a car on open.
Enclosed its about 1000 to 1200.
You can figure where you fit in from here.
DAS are out of DAllas Area. They would be about the cheapest cause your on their way and they could do a two drop rack. Might try them.

I had a 2004 Corvette shipped from PA to SC in Feb by Intercity. Everything went great! I talked with Jim at Intercity and could not have been more please. Randy and Michelle (the drivers) were very careful with my Corvette. This was my first time shipping a car.

i JUST went through this. I got quotes from ever company mentioned on here. Intercity, passport, reliable, even used Uship.
intercity wouldnt even do it. same with passport for whatever reason.
All other quotes were too high.
Then i talked to Exotic Car Transport. Not only were they extremely cheap compared to most, they actually take care of the car for you. I had my car shipped from Georgia to my door in wisconsin. 875 bucks. ENCLOSED!!! They cannot be beat. Take a look at their website. www.exoticcartransport.com
