Default Shipping Your Corvette

Has anyone shipped their Corvette in association with a relocation to another state?

If so, could you recommend the carrier that you used?

Thank you.

When we moved to Fla 10 years ago, we used 2 Men and a Truck for the move. They moved our house contents and towed my C5 on a trailer behind the truck. No problems.

Reliable Carriers, is what they were called may be called Mecum Auto Transport. Who I used for other cars. They ship for Mecum and other collector auctions. Not cheap, can be hard to schedule if there is a big auction.

My issue/concern about most shippers is that the car goes on a car carrier with other cars/vehicles. The way we did it, my car was the ONLY thing on the trailer. BUT, we were moving everything to our new digs....

I used a company called Topline Logistics back in January. They were on time for both pickup and drop off. I had zero issues.

$1800 from Idaho to Houston (Enclosed)

Sound like they are very reputable if they work with Mecum. I appreciate the information.

That is a big concern - that they take 100% responsibility for care of the car. I appreciate you getting back to me with that info. Thank you.

Definitely agree with your suggestion. Just looking for some other options as well, especially if someone is moving themselves, or going with a questionable carrier to save money.
