EdmondCheck out uShip. You'll be dealing with the actual shipping company. My experience with doing a Google is that you're talking to brokers. The drivers don't want to talk to you until it's time to pick up/drop off the vehicle.

The people bidding on your transport are the drivers/companies themselves.
I used a guy 3 times. I met him through uShip and paid through them. 2nd and 3rd time was just me dealing with his company.

SeayallTake it from me, don't go online for a bid. I did that like a month ago and I'm still getting daily emails with quotes and I got phone calls for about two weeks....
I had to move a car from NC to MI and I used Reliable Carriers. Cost me $975 for the car to move in an enclosed van. Car was picked up Saturday and at my house the next day by 6pm. Now that may be fast for most loads but the carrier has a terminal in Detroit so it was a good lane for them. Not the cheapest, but I was very happy with the service...

chellim1Don't forget... It's negotiable.
I got a pretty good price from Ready Logistics, A Cox Automotive Brand. They are brokers, not the drivers, but they hire the drivers who are often independent contractors.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

cne32507I'm going with DAS because they have drop-off and pick-up locations nationwide. Shipping wife's old car from Pensacola to Reno and retiring the Bronco II.

KyjondeereI just shipped my sons car to him from KY to Camp Pendleton. I used Priority Auto Relocations. I can recommend them based on my experience. They even called to follow up after delivery. Cost was comparable to other quotes. I first went with the lowest bid (Navy Auto) and got yanked around over a week, them telling me every day my car would be picked up “tomorrow”. Tomorrow never came for them so I hired Priority and it was picked up the next day.
