I finally reach an agreement with a seller for a 2002 seal grey 996TT. But it is not in my driveway yet ( Montreal) . Can anyone propose a good and reliable car shipping company to get the car from Melbourne FL 32934 to Champlain NY 12919. I got quotes from

All American transport, Worlwide auto transport, Able auto transport, Flee transportation, Jayhawk auto transport, Tri star carrier, Total car shipping, Allen auto transport, AA automovers, Cosmos auto transport, Express auto transport, Momentum auto transport, Country wide auto transport,

from $650.00 to $1300.00...

If you see any I should reject don't hesitate.

Should I used enclosed or open carrier...I am on a limited budget but the difference is only about $300.00...


Thanks for your help gentlemen, J.P.

 

First, make sure that you are dealing directly with a shipper, not a broker. Just ask - they will tell you. Having shipped a couple of cars, in the future, I would go with an enclosed carrier. Some of the are:
Horseless Carriage
Thomas C Sunday
Intercity Lines
The last two are PCA regular advertisers...

 

I actually had a great experience with a broker (Level One Transport) who used Auto Trans Experts. I had my M3 shipped from Miami to San Francisco in an enclosed trailer for about $1300. There were some kick *** cars on the trailer (Z06, Ferrari) and I was very happy with the communication and care.

 

Try TFX, Hansen

 

I would also advise checking out whomever you choose at this site.

Passportfedex is you want to ship fast and on time.

 

Thanks a lot for your help. http://www.transportreviews.com/ is very usefull.

 

damn it, you should have bought mine, it is already in Quebec and still for sale

Be carefull with the open carrier, they bent one of my tailpipe, luckily that was it.

the best and most reliable is this guy but he is expensive http://www.almondexotictransports.com/

I hope you already have you recall clearance letter because you know Porsche USA won't give you one.

 

Here's the # to the guy that shipped my car from pittsburgh to california. Did a great job, enclosed trailer of course.

Call David Lempert at Transport Masters in Boca Raton. He handled shipping 2 Cup cars and a street car for me that went through Quebec. AWESOME service. 561-482-7789.

I would look into Intercity Lines (Intercitylines.com). The person who bought my Carrera 4S used them to ship the car from Toledo Ohio to San Francisco ($1350). I was very very impressed with both the driver and the equipment they used. Needless to say, the car arrived perfectly. Obviously, cheaper is not always the better way to go. Good luck.

 

I do enclosed auto transport for a living with the largest carrier in North America. Stay away from brokers...period. There is a difference between cheap and inexpensive. You are crazy to consider an open carrier. If that transport goes into a neighboorhood to make pickups and there are any trees...well, guess what is rubbing against those branches? You live in Canada and your average hauler will not understand border procedure and paperwork. You are not even allowed to approach customs here in Detroit unless you are prescreened and precleared. The fines are draconian. TFX is a Canadian based company and they would be the first place I would look in your position. Good luck....

 

wow, you can find some for 600s? cheap!

Demoise Trucking. I've never heard of a bad review. Bill Demoise will probably be on the phone with you- they own all their own trucks, drivers all work for the company. They are fastidious, helpful, accommodating and great communications.

Enclosed is the ONLY way to go.
