Would appreciate some first hand experience with transporting car cross-country. Can anyone provide reccomendations/references for best companies for this job. Looking to send my GT3 out to California for some West Coast driving toward end of August.

Thanks,

 

I just searched this forum yesterday to come up with a company. Here are a few that were recomended repeatedly:

Innercity is who Porsche uses to move all of their GT3s from port to the dealerships. Mine showed up via Innercity yesterday.

 

to all who replied. I appreciate the input; seems I now have some good information to make an informed decision.

 

I used intercity to transport from FL to VA. No issues. Very competent.

 

I have used Horseless Carriage on several occassions...I have always had excellent service.

 

I just shipped a car from Florida to California and it was a nightmare. PM me with your phone # and I'd be happy to talk to you about the experience.

 

Intercity don't transport to the west coast.

wstdphisg,

Care to share w/ us what happend?

 

I used Gary Almond of Almond Exotic Transports (see weblink above) late last year. Very good service, reasonable price, nice guy. Good luck!

 

thomas sunday is excellent based in PA for NE-CA.
Gold Rush in FL v good further south to CA
Intercity is for Porsche size accts, you will wait and wait

 

I got a quote for transport from NC to CA..???

 

I use Intercity for most of my transport. They do ship to the west coast. I sell a lot of cars to customers in CA. Pretty fast service. Seattle is usually a long wait though. I just shipped a $ 170,000.00 Turbo Coupe to Bainbridge Island, WA. Waiting time with almost everybody was 3-4 weeks.
I also use Alan Wood from "The Wizzard" autotransport. Very nice guy. Does a good job. Customers are always very pleased with the experience.

Last year they told me no service to Seattle or west coast. I hope I am wrong.

 

I used Intercity last month they do service the west coast, they shipped my GT3 from Hennessy Porsche in GA to Northern CA. They did a great job and were the lowest out of 3 quotes. I highly recommend Intercity.

 

Intercity quoted me $2400 yesterday. Looking to ship from Boston to Seattle.
