The only company I would use is Horseless Carrige. They shipped my car from FL to Seattle and it was flawless. They are a little expensive, but in auto shipping you get what you pay for. They use a fully enclosed trailer and do the shipping for mainly high end cars. My vette rode up with a ferrari and a lotus.
The nice thing about HC is that the enclosed hauler picks up your car and drops it off. Most of the time it never moves. With many other companies, they will pick up your car with a flatbed and then reload onto the hauler. Oe it gets close to the destination, they will again use a flatbed to deliver it. The more they move it, of course, the greater chance that they damage it.
Whatever you do, dont use dependable auto shippers. They shipped a camaro for me and damaged the car and refused to pay for it. I have heard more horro stories about them than you want to know.
Hope this helps. PM me if I can answer anything else.

I've used both Intercity and Exotic Car Transport - either comes to your house/business/dealer with a hauler, inspects and loads your car, and delivers it just it left you. Neither is cheap, but both are 1st class operations.

Save yourself a few bucks - call George Davis at Minuteman Transport in Polk City/Lakeland, FL. He's a personal friend and hauled (enclosed) four cars for me after my move from Orlando, FL. EXCELLENT CARRIER and considerably less than Exotic Cars in Orlando.
Minuteman Transport - 800-780-1351
Don't let the name mislead you - he ONLY hauls cars and is a classic car owner/enthusiast himself - that's the reason he got into the business -couldn't find anyone he trusted to haul for him.

We also used exotic car transport from FL to PA for our 99 coupe. They were great...fast delivery, no problems, dropped it off at front door.
Highly recommend.

I used them to transport a Jag from Florida to California, and the whole process was easy and flawless. All enclosed trailer, and a crew that knows what they are doing. we had constant communication from them thruout the whole journey. And the price was not unreasonable either.

AVOID DAS at ALL costs. They shipped a vehicle cross country for me. It arrived in Las Vegas, left it in a dirt lot over the weekend without ever contacting me. It was fresh off a $9K paint job and when it was finally delivered hat "pit" marks in the paint from being manuevered around their lot. Long stoty and I got hosed!

I may be going to Iowa in Late March, I have a 24' enclosed that I transported my 05 coupe down with in Nov. My car won't go back to Iowa until May but I need to go to Iowa on business in March.Maybe we can work something out. I am on the Gulf Coast. Where in Fl. is the car and what part of Iowa is it going to?
