Fuel prices and enclosed vs open carrier = cost per mile to ship. I have shipped approx 20 cars in the last 20 years and always shipped open carrier...normally 30-40% less per mile. No troubles thus far. T

Yep, that's why I didn't ask cost until after the recommendation.. not asking for cheap asking for good recommendations..
