I'm so close to pulling the trigger on a Vette in California, I'm in Kentucky. Any advice or prior knowledge of any good transportation companies????

I always use Dependable Auto Shippers. I am not sure what their website is but if you type in their name they come up. I have shipped about 15 cars with them and no problems.

Actually, DAS was the one the guy had with his car for sale, they have been the cheapest so far. Thanks

I had my '89 Roadster shipped from Oregon to Alabama with DAS.

Had a car shipped by Passport Transport awhile back. They're now part of FedEx, and still very good from everything that I've read here and on other forums.

Thanks for the help, man the wait is going to kill me.....

Fed-Ex custom critical. They were cheap,reliable and pretty fast. Customer service was excellent and prices are different for enclosed or non-enclosed trailer. Had my 71 shipped from Chicago

I have used DAS several times. You can track your car's progress on the Internet.

Never been disappionted.

If it were me, I'd drive it home. Its as much fun as you can have with your clothes on.

My one and only car shipping experience (Florida to Oregon) took a week and cost $1100.

Fly out and drive it home.

I have not completly ruled it out, But, with all this bad weather, it worries me.

I just used the cheapest guy, forgot who it was.
Cost was $750 from Ca to Taylorsville.

Got a girl that lives in Rineyville.
Back behind the BP.
When it warms up you just might see the red 91 vert out that way.
She will use the car for awhile, then the other girl in Bardstown gets it for awhile.
Maybe you seen it last year, mostly during the spring.

DAS is quoting me $481 for open trailer, no insurance, they also gave me some other prices for this and that, still cheaper then all the other ones.

I know the BP you are talking about. I don't recall seeing the car, but I hope to soon. Do you live in Rineyville too.

JnC96CE

It cost me 750, so less than 500 is a great deal, just be patient though.

I live in Taylorsville,
one girl lives in Rineyville,
and one girl lives in Bardstown.

After I change the radiator,
the 91 will pobably be in Rineyville April May and June then end up in Bardstown July August and September.

Nice car, I missed your location in the previous thread. I'm just banging my head wondering which way to go, open/closed trailer. Insurance/no insurance. I'm calling State Farm and asking them what they say about the insurance part before i decide.

I can't say who is good....but I can tell you who to stay away from. Fast Track Auto Transport out of Murfreesboro, TN and McNutt Auto Transport Lowry City Missouri.

When I bought mine I contracted with McNutt Transport, then they turned around and subcontracted Fast Track Auto Transport (which I didn't know about). They told me 5 days, after 5 days and still no car I call McNutt and they say they haven't heard a word and don't know anything. Finally I get the lowdown how they subbed out the contract, but I can't get hold of Fast Track at all. Tried to leave message, message box is full. Finally I get them and they say he's in KC and will be in my town that day. No show and I can't get hold off them again for two more days. Long story short here...I finally got the car 9 days after pick up. She's fine (beautiful actually) and now I am happy. But the worst nine days of my life.

Eric24

Thanks for the help, DAS has a GPS tracker system which I like, just for that kind of situation. Man I would have been pissed Thank God it arrived in such good shape.

Is the insurance they sell worth it?

jrzyvet

Absolutely.. I had it on my Range Rover when I shipped it and they paid up right away. It turned out that they bumped the bumper and there was also previous damage from me, but they paid for it all.

Get the insurance.

Eric24

Is the insurance better then your own insurance, like mine: State Farm

jrzyvet

Yes after you pay for the insurance with DAS if there is damage thats it. No other out of pocket expense
