Was wondering if anyone in south west Florida has had their C8 shipped from MacMulkin, trying to figure what the average price might be

You can get online quotes from many transport companies. Intercity is a forum vendor that I've used before and the experience was great. You can also try Plycar, Montway, and Reliable. Intercity will require sending an email or calling for a quote. Edit: Just realized Montway was a broker so not sure that would be my first choice. They do seem to have good reviews (4.7 Google).

Used Plycar with great results. Also try Passport Transport, excellent service and tracking. They have hauled more than a dozen cars for me in the past.

incredible private hauler

Intercity and Reliable have always been great for me. Avoid Horseless carriage at all costs.

Every time I have been at MacMulkin an Intercity truck has been there. I've watched them load several cars. The drivers are very careful and their trailers are in great condition. Have spoken with a few of the truck drivers all of them really pleasant and professional.

I've used most of the majors one time or the another, however prefer Intercity as they take the worry out of auto transport. Fine car transport isn't something you generally just want to go with the cheapest price.

I have never used transport but I believe that Orlando is a hub for transport and you can probably get it shipped to Orlando and drive home from there with no transfers involved.

My cost Phila PA to SWFL was $2000 per vehicle in 2022 (and I shipped 3 cars), so a single car may be more, plus from NH more mileage. Intercity & Plycar will give you a price based on to and from zip codes...

I used Mercury Auto Transport to ship my C8 from SE Florida to Central PA in February and it cost $1,100.00 They had it delivered in 24 hours and had no issues. Would probably use them again. PM me if you would like contact info.

Hope you find a good company without making too many calls.
If you shop around for shipping quotes, your phone and email will blow up for months with quotes and re-quotes.

I agree as you are rolling the dice using a broker as you lose all control on whose is actually transporting your vehicle. Sometimes 2-3 different haulers will transport your car. There's stories of vehicles being left outside on a lot in bad areas, left in a rodent infested warehouse awaiting pickup.

I second Intercity. I have had three cars delivered from them. My 82 Corvette, 16 GT350 and 19GT350. All from the Northeast (NJ) to Illinois. They are absolutely top notch. My cars have always been the 'cheap dates' in the truck....filled with Ferrari's, Lambo's, McClaren's etc. If guys with that cash trust them you should confidently as well....
