I have a V8 Vantage on its way from Bellevue, WA to Minneapolis right now. Shipping with Reliable arranged by the dealer on Friday, picked up Monday, supposed to be here next week.

I have shipped race cars with spare tires with Reliable twice and they have been great both times. My experience is that Intercity is mostly North-South routes, and mostly east coast. Reliable works great on East-West routes. Just my experience, but when I requested quotes, Intercity didn't even respond to the inquiry on the WA - MN shipping this week.

Hi Prefurbia - I bought the 2015 roadster that Park Place in Bellevue WA had on their site while the car was inbound. The car is beautiful and I can't wait to see it in MPLS. I'll PM you contact info.

I just helped my friend ship a V12 Vantage from Nashville to Vegas for $1825 with Plycar. We shopped Intercity, Plycar, and sent an email to The Finest Carrier (with no response).
Great driver and communication.

I think till now you must have transporter your car to CA. But if you face similar kind of problem in future then you can either go by surfing the internet for the websites of transportation service or else can also choose to go with http://floridatransporter.com/about-us/index.html]Florida Transporter service anytime. I came to know about them through a magazine which quoted the details that they provide overall transportation service to any city or any state.

In 2018 I had a DB9 shipped from SoCal to NC for $1250. No issues. The company has since disappeared.

Just called Intercity for a quote to ship a Vantage from Georgia to Maine for the summer.

Was quoted $1895.00 for an enclosed trailer that holds five (5) vehicles. This price is reasonable.

Intercity told me that my car would be the last loaded and the last delivery in Maine. This meant my car would be moved in and out to as the other vehicles were delivered. This is fine as well.

When I asked Intercity how the driver gets in and out of the vehicle once it is loaded or has to be moved, I was told that they climb in through the window. That is an absolute deal breaker for me. I don’t want my pristine car trashed by someone climbing in and out of the window multiple times. I’m only 150 lbs and 5’ 9” and I doubt I could do it without messing something up.

When my car car was delivered from the dealer they had a sliding door on the side of trailer so that the car doors could be fully opened and the driver disembark normally. I’ll have to look for other options.

When my car was delivered, there were 3 (or 4) doors on either side of the enclosed trailer. Drop the ramp, open the side door on the trailer, get in the car through the driver's door and unload. My DB9 was pristine when loaded in SoCal. A little dusty when unloaded in NC 3 days later but pristine.

Funny how a 2+ year old thread can grow legs.......

I just had my car transported from NJ to CA via Troy Car. They were absolutely fantastic to deal with.

Wes over at airryd.com did a tremendous ship facilitating transport of my cayman. There are definitely a lot of bait and switch tactics with this industry where they collect your deposit and you don’t hear from them at all.
