A search on the subject will reveal that Intercity is the overwhelming favorite of forum members. They take the worry out of auto transport by providing extreme care and communication every step of the way.
The below delivery video shows how meticulous they are.

Most of the names mentioned here are well known with great service. Some independent guys also have some nice rigs and a good reputation.

Pilot Transport is also a good one. I used them for mine. It shipped from Ohio on a Friday night and was at my house in Arizona early Sunday morning. Not a scratch. I went with them on the recommendation of Rick Conti. Only one of three he will use.

COunt me in for Pylcar - amazing amazing amazing. Oklahoma CIty to Tampa enclosed. They have active GPS that you can watch exactly where your car is along the route - pretty cool.
Their drivers - a husband wife team had so many good things to say about the company too - extra delux equipment to make them more comfortable on the road...
As opposed to the one man show driver my broker found to pick the car up from the OKC dealer - he did make it 10 miles before his transmission blew and got towed to a truck center... then lied to me for 10 days saying he was waiting for parts... and that the mechanics were out because they made so much on unemployment w COVID... i finally called the repair place and spoke to manager - had to tell him i was the drivers business partner to get any info... found out the driver said he had to wait weeks for money to pay for the replacement transmission... and that all mechanics were working and ready to work - once the driver could put 50% down on the transmission work to start...
I called plycar - within an hour they were on the phone with the lying and stuck original driver and confirmed their hydraulics/electrical? were compatible tio enable Pycar hooking to first trailer to get my car out - ...
quite a contrast from my first enclosed rig / one man show..

Count me in for Mills Transport, Dubuque, IA. - amazing amazing amazing. Ann Arbor, MI to Dallas, Texas enclosed. They have active GPS that you can watch exactly where your car is along the route - pretty cool. Their drivers are the owner, and employee/s. Their quote was 50% less than the way, way overpriced carriers mentioned above. Mills Transport's insurance coverage is 100% - $0 deductible. You can pay more, but why? Mills uses the exact premium tractor trailer rigs those guys use. Remember, you're buying transportation only - not the company.

+1 for Pilot Transport, also recommended by @RickConti@Coughlin when he shipped my C7Z to me in Colorado. Car arrived on-time and undamaged, despite inclement weather in the Omaha area, with communication from the driver from about 24 hours out. FWIW, price was also ~25% less than two other quotes I received (from Reliable and Intercity).

Depending on where you are located, I may be able to help you. We center on customer service, (we are still competitive) with door to door service on your schedule. Shoot me a pm and I can give you an idea of cost for where you need it moved from and too. I am located in Missouri, center of the Midwest.

Here is a picture of my set up, as you can see, I pride myself on doing things right!

A few years ago the price to ship a C7 from Chicago western burbs to Phoenix was about $2k, in January.
Does anyone know the approximate cost now? I don't want to bother these people until my plans are firmer.
Thanks.

Marc Haiback, ZR-1 Specialists, recommended Montway Transportation. They picked the car up when they said they would and delivered it on schedule.

www.fastautoshipping.net

So, I recently had to ship my Corvette from California to North Carolina. Was kinda stressed about the whole thing, you know? It's my pride and joy. Ended up using Fast Auto Shipping after a buddy recommended them.

Honestly, it wasn't too shabby. Got a quote from their site, and the price seemed fair. The driver who picked up my car was chill, did a quick check of the car, and off it went. I was a bit antsy, so I kept bugging their customer service for updates (sorry, not sorry). They were patient, though, gotta give them that.

Car arrived in NC looking good. Maybe a day later than I expected, but nothing major. All in all, not a bad experience. If anyone's thinking of shipping their car, maybe give them a shot? Just wanted to drop my two cents here.

712-210-4019 Dave Fountain. He has a man that has a 2 car, Featherlight trailer. He shipped my 2017 GS from Dallas TX to Louisville KY. Flawless shipper. Treats the car like his own.
