Default Trusted auto shipper?

Looking to get my C7 shipped. Anyone know of a.trusted shipper?
I put pick up and drop off info on a site called
"autotransport".
Now I'm getting calls from lots of Indian dialect shippers saying they will do it for $275-300. There's no way it's that cheap for 500 miles.

****Thanks for the suggestions. I've decided to go ahead and do a father son road trip. I also want to see it in person before forking over the funds.

There's a forum vendor called Intercity Lines that does enclosed vehicle transport. Give them a call or go to their website to fill out a request.

Hi! I just happened to be drifting through the C7 section and saw your post. Almost two years ago, I bought my C6 from a dealer in south Florida and had it shipped enclosed to the Dallas area. Upon recommendation, I used RoadRunner. I believe they are a broker and independent haulers bid for the cars and do the transporting. From what I heard (and no true facts to back that up), a lot of the haulers are south eastern European. I know the guy that transported my car was. It was a very smooth operation, with RoadRunner keeping in touch with me and always available for any questions that I had. When the hauler was about a day out, he got in contact with me and was in contact until my car was delivered. Please note that this is the only time that I have ever shipped a car, so I am no expert. I was very pleased with the service from all angles. If I remember correctly, it was about $1500-$1800 for what was approximately a 900 ship. Best of luck and I’m sure that other members will,chime in soon.

I second Intercity Lines. Very professional. I had a Vette shipped from Florida to MA and they were great. The driver even called me a day early and said he could drop it. Jay Leno uses them. For how many cars that man owned and likely ships, I’d tend to believe his endorsement.

You could fly out and check out the car first, that's what I did.

I used Reliable this past March, zero issues. Same one that Mecum and Barret Jackson uses. Went from Florida to PA and it was $1,853.00

I'd use them again if I had to. Good Luck
