Default Car carrier

Any suggestions for a reliable car carrier? I may need to ship a car from NJ to AZ. I was looking at Montway Auto Transport.

Had 2 different cars shipped with Reliable. They were very good with no problems what-so-ever.

I tried to Google Reliable, but every car carrier comes up saying they are reliable, and there were several companies with reliable in the name.

reliable carrier solutions. Orange enclosed trailers. is A+.

most all transporters are brokers. And you never know how many times the car has been moved from trailer to trailer.
So be very cautious.

it was ok short distance. But I don’t think I’d ever do it long distance. Rather drive it and buy new furniture at my new place Lolol. That’s the next plan. 1pod for my garage stuff
