Hello everyone, I'm going to be relocating in the next 30 days or less and need help with finding a reliable and safe to use company to ship my c5 vette. I'll be moving from Rochester Michigan to Savannah Georgia. Any advise???????

I used Intercity when I moved my two C5's from Indiana to SoCal. Top-notch service - they treat it as if it were their own.

Thanks for the info guy, unfortunately upon contacting them asking for a quote, they're claiming that they don't deliver in my route. So back to square one.

Go to Uship.com , put in your info and have the different transport companies bid for your business. Any company that contacts you, you can read their reviews and make an informed decision.

You can explore these links from using the "search" feature or use the various company names as the search key word:

You might also ask InterCity for a suggestion of who services that route . . . Reliable, Horseless Carriage, Executive . . .your moving company might also have suggestions . . .I've used Interstate but that was just from Southern Cali to Phoenix and I think they're more regional.
Good luck-

I think Criswell Chevy uses Plycon to ship their C7s. You might contact Mike Furman at Criswell and make sure then contact the company to see if they go on the route you need.

My good friend uses Reliable, has shipped his C6 down from Harbor Springs, MI to Florida the last 3 years with no problems. If I remember right he drops it off in Trenton at their depot and meets up with the driver when he gets down to Florida. Good luck with your move, we left Rochester in 1993 for North Carolina. You'll love it down here, no putting the C5 away for the winter.

That trip should be no big deal for about any C5 unless yours has problems that you aren't mentioning. I'd prefer to drive mine, but that's just me.

Do you really think so? I'm seriously considering it,with the crazy shipping cost. No known issues with it,just weather permitted and roads permitted. Plus having someone drive the moving truck as well... Decisions,decisions I guess.

I would consider it....will be a nice trip. I drove my dad's C5 from Indiana to Virginia years ago and it was an easy trip. You will enjoy it and save yourself a ton of $$$. Shipping is gonna be pretty pricey from door to door enclosed. Good luck.

Drive the moving truck yourself and tow the Vette on a trailer. Problem solved.

Timing is key this this time of year, planning around no snow or ice from MI thru northern Georgia. Clear sailing from there. With a moving truck it will probably be a two day event, 15+ hours driving time.

Sounds like a nice weekend drive and no sweat for a C5 from MI to GA. Not a big deal - I've done these kinds of 1000 mile weekends drives several times. Get the car on cruise and no issues.
