Default Which enclosed shipping company would you use?

I just purchased a vehicle located in Texas. I live in Nevada. Due to work schedule, family schedule and the like, I've elected to pay to have the car shipped out here instead of driving it.

I want the car shipped in an enclosed trailer. I've heard great things about Intercity Lines and Reliable Carriers but both of them quoted me 2-6 weeks pick up time before they can even pick up the vehicle in Texas.

Montway Auto Transport, The Finest Carrier and Plycar Auto all quoted me within 1 week to pick up. Has anyone used any of these three companies and what was your experience? I absolutely don't mind paying more to have everything done right but I don't want to wait a month for pick up. Anyone have good experiences with them?

That it does. Now I just need to get the damn thing out here. I wanted to go with Intercity Lines, based off all the glowing reviews on here and online. The problem is I spoke with them today and they said it could be 2-4 weeks just to pick up the vehicle. I really was hoping to get it picked up by next week.

Plycar took my car from Louisiana to new york. Great to deal with. Driver stayed in contact with me on the way up too.
I would definitely use them again. Well worth the $1500

I used Reliable to ship my car from ILL to TX and they were excellent. The first two you mentioned are the best I think, but when I checked with Intercity they were more expensive. As I recall, the cost was around $1,200.

This is proving to be harder than I thought. I have not been able to find a transport company that can be available within the next few days to pick up. Everyone tells me 2-4 weeks, or 1-6 weeks, or several days but then several days have passed and I haven't heard anything.

You just have to ask the seller to hold it for you until the auto transport can pick it up, but get on their schedule. I had to wait on mine to be picked up too. No way around it I don't think as they put in with other cars in that area to be picked up. As I recall mine was 2-3 weeks.

I tried them. They told me 1-6 weeks. I have no problem waiting 1 week but I certainly don't want to pay to get put on the schedule and then wait 6 weeks. That's crazy.

Yea the seller is holding it. I'm just anxious to get the car out here. I bought it sight unseen and now that I officially paid for it "my" car is just sitting in a garage ya know? But yea, all I can do is wait.
