Default Auto Transporter needed

Anyone know of a reasonably priced auto carrier to pick up a car in Florida and ship it to Michigan?

Reliable Transportation. Tops in the business. My guess would be $1,000-$1,200 from FL to MI, enclosed trailer of course.

When do you need it shipped? I will be in Florida with an empty hauler the first week in Feb.

I used Fed Ex Custom Critical Passport Auto Transport. Huge enclosed trailer, $1281 from Port Orange Fl to Lake Villa, Il. I had no issues

It would be cheaper to fly down and drive it back you could do it on a weekend. Snow is not bad right now shouldn't be to bad at all.

Thanks Don. But I do not have the time to fly down and get back. I have no vacation time. If I had time I just might do that. As most of the carriers I contacted, most of them can have it picked up within a day or two and have it up here in 3-4 days. So about less than a week from pick-up to delivery.
