Default Enclosed transport Witchita to Redondo Beach, CA

Anyone have a good recommend enclosed transport for Witchita Kansas to Redondo Beach, CA?

What's the going rate?

Tried Horseless and was much more $$$ then I expected.

Actually spelled Wichita. I've had great luck with Reliable Carriers.

Got a couple of quotes a year ago for enclosed transport form PIT (PA) to SF (CA). $2200-$2500.

Try the rennlist sponsor transporter for a rennlist discount.

May only be good for paid Members though.

Intercity Lines is a rennlist sponsor and offers a discount. I had my Weissach transported from Seattle to Philly for $2500. Worth the price.

I used Thomas Sunday when I had my '33 Franklin Olympic shipped from PA to CA.

Car went in the nose of the enclosed trailer in PA and was not off-loaded or moved again until it was unloaded at my home in CA.

Cost about $1,400 back ~2000. Buyer in NY used the same shipper when I sold the car a couple of years ago, but I don't know what they charged him. Good people to work with. Advertise in Pano.

So, one way ticket, gas money, and 2 nights lodging? Gotta be cheaper than $2000?

I just used Intercity Lines for my 85 (2 weeks ago). Exceptional service, enclosed transport, status calls along the way, car wrapped while in transport, $1800 all in from San Jose area to Pittsburgh. A small rennlist discount. They own their own trucks and drivers work for the company - no brokers! Wayne Carini and Jay Leno use them, for whatever its worth. They do not do open truck, which is a lot cheaper, but riskier for the car.

I'll vouch for Intercity Lines as well. They transported one of my cars from MD to TX a few years back and the service was exceptional. My drivers were a very nice husband/wife team. At the time, the cost was $1600.

I also used Intercity Lines for mine (Maine to California). The driver was great, but the pick-up timing wasn't - over a month without them knowing when it would be until very close to it.

Enclosed should be better for the car, although it's a little nerve-racking when you see how they have to climb into the car via the window, as there's not space to open the doors.

I use these guys regularly - they are also a hauler for Porsche in the Northeast.

No drama, great prices, lift gate, and enclosed.
