Can anyone recommend a reliable enclosed car carrier who services FL to CA?

TIA

 

i am also looking for a transporter from Ohio to CA, if anyone knows.

 

I've used Horseless Carriage several time with excellent results.

InterCity also has a great reputation, is the exclusive transporter for the Carrera GT in the US, and also transports many of the new Porsches in the US to the dealers.

My advice is to not skimp on transporters (you get what you pay for), only use a top tier carrier, and ask for a top load (so you don't risk anything falling/dripping on your car).

 

I've used Passport International about 6-8 times...no issues. Also have used Horseless Carriage and Exotic Car. Still like Passport the best. Just shipped my 03 996TT one year, $1500 one way, got it in 6 days.

 

Do these transporters use boxed trailers or open double deckers?

I got mine delivered in a box trailer, which is nice.

 

There are both types out there...however they will almost always make you put a high value car in an enclosed trailer. It costs extra, but I wouldn't feel comfortable any other way.

So far I have a price from DAS for $1500 Door to Door & a price from Passport for $1800 door to door.

 

The top end transporters only use enclosed carriers.

DAS is horrible--they damaged my last Carrera. Their "enclosed" carriers aren't true enclosed--they're open at the bottom so all the road junk gets on your car. They use subcontractors to pick up and/or deliver your car, and usually move it from one truck to another, inviting damage. Run--do not walk--away from these guys.

 

I'm in the midst of having an 02 TT ship from Malibu Ca. to NJ.
I'm using Goldrush Motorsports. So far so good but I'll let you know when I get the car. They're charging $1,400.00

 

Poursha - thanks for the warning!

Kneedrager - keep us posted.

cheers

 

I've used Passport Transport a couple of times from DC to the Bay Area. $1500 each way. Fully covered, double decker trailers. I thought the service was great... door to door service, and they update you along the way. Very friendly personnel. Also, I believe they are owned by FedEx.

 

I just used InterCity...New York to Indiana and they were great! Their white suits were , but they were incredibly careful with the car and they focused on their work. They took all the time in the world (let me take pics, etc) to get the car off the truck and never seemed to be in a hurry like most truck drivers. Then they explained every detail of what they delivered and some basics about the car....i.e the luggage, the tools, etc..

I will use them again in a heartbeat without a bit of hesitation.

OK I called Goldrush and they seem reasonable, but more importantly they have the best schedule!

Anyone ever used them? Kneedragger - any results yet?

 

I have used Intercity many times...excellent service.

 

Yeah it seems that everyone loves Intercity. Their prices are fine, but they can't even pick up the car for 2 weeks!!

 

hmmmmmmmmmm....wonder what you are geting from Florida? Could be a red droptop ? Use it well!
