Enclosed vehicle shipping
Hi Folks,
I need to ship my BDR, enclosed of course. Anyone have any experiences with specific companies ? Thanks |
The previous owner of the car I purchased was all set to relocate his car from VA to SoCal. He did some exhaustive research and received a number of quotes from different companies. Here is who he chose to go with...
http://www.cslautotransport.com/ I'm just glad I could arrange it so he didn't have to use them..:) Here's his thread on CACC: http://www.capitalareacobraclub.com/...ic,9212.0.html Good luck, - Allen. |
FedEx Custom Critical. Enclosed, all hydraulic lifts, drivers experienced with these cars, buttloads of insurance and you can call FedEx anytime and ask the status of your car. 1.800.633.6530.

Used FedEx as well to ship my 66 Fastback from Kansas City. like above not the cheapest.... you can track it and the trucks are top of the line.

Rich's Classic Transport has been good to us and I know several others here have used him.

Intercity is a first class transporter with the rigs to prove it. They aren't the cheapest but after alll do you really want the cheapest.
Their place of business is only roughly 10 miles from my house, when I go by and they have a rig there it is being cleaned and prepped. |

FWIW I occasionally watch Wayne Carini's TV show "Chasing Classic Cars" and he seems to always use Intercity.
http://www.f40.com/ I've also heard good things about Intercity from friends who have shipped cars. Their shipping rates always seem to be reasonable too. I thought Rich's Transport stopped doing business some time ago when the economy went south. |
WPA Cobra,
I used a company called, Excellence Auto Carriers. The guys name is Jim McGregor. I am VERY particular when it comes to moving my vehicles and was super impressed with his personality, up to date carrier, an his caring of the vehicles. Check out the website, exellenceautocarriers.com |

One of the things I did run into was scheduling. It took three weeks to get the pickup and two for the return. I'm in Colorado so it takes longer to get a full van and they don't have a timeout that schedules it. Their drivers were friendly, and on the return he wiped the car down with Maguiars before he did the "inventory". I've also heard good things about FedEx from others. |

Precious Metals is another great operation. Reliable is pretty good, I just have had scheduling issues with them. Always ask if they own the trucks, if they are a broker forget it, hang up, move on...

I found a shipper on http://www.transportreviews.com/ that was near where I lived with good ratings. The only problem is they get posted on a brokerage shipping board and you really don't know who you will get. Maybe I was lucky, but my guy Mike was great. It was not a solid wall enclosed trailer, but it had canvas sides. I had my cover and the shipper had a tyvek cover over it. I drove it on and off the trailer with a lot of help. It cost about $1,500 from Florida to Washington last March. My driver was all over the country and you could probably save $300 if you called him directly. Message me if you want his phone number.

I used Intercity when I bough my car from Jay three years ago. $1200.00 from CT to central Texas. Top Notch equipment and driver!
