I've seen a number of horror stories, some on Youtube videos, from using fly-by-night carriers. Pay the extra money and go with a nationally known carrier.

Best and cheap cannot be used in the same sentence. I recommend Reliable.

I used Thomas Sunday (can google the company) at the recommendation of the dealer I purchased from. Very good email and phone communication. Driver seemed very capable during delivery. Little less than $1000.00
from Michigan to coastal Maryland (6-700 miles). I would use them again.

I know it's tempting but don't go with a broker. They'll post the job to the lowest bidder.
Go with a reputable company that has its own fleet and drivers.

I actually had a good experience going through a broker, but I would not do it again. I sought out a transporter with the highest reviews. Once I had everything set up, they sent me an email stating the carrier who had been assigned my job. Until this point I did not know I had been dealing with a broker. I started asking questions about who handled damage claims, and I'll just leave it at I'm so glad I did not have to go through that process. Broker + carrier = too many parties to deny responsibility.
Assuming you are having the car shipped to you. I would recommend having the transporter send photos of any and all damage at pick up.
