Wink recommend any car shippers on the west coast?

Ok guys, I am sure you're getting tired of me posting! Bear with me!!!

Does anyone know of any, or recommend for or against any shippers of cars to California from either the Northwest (Oregon) or the South or Midwest?

Other than me flying and driving home, I'd like to at least explore the option of a shipper in case I don't have the time!

thank you all, as usual - this forum is the greatest!

Check the 993 board archives. I believe there is a company called Inter City (or Inter-something) that seems to be the consensus choice.

Hi Howard... just looking into the options!! I need to see how much I need to factor in to the budget if I get a car that's farther than my wife will take me in her ML!

I never count my chickens until they're hatched!!! But I'll keep ya' posted!!

Garrett, perhaps when you get quotes you can post 'em...just out of interest!

You got it! The guys on the 993 board said that a trip from Chicago to California was $1500.

I'll let you all know what I find out!

I will look up the name of the shipper I used tonight. I paid $1500.00 from central CA to NJ. Nice job, small enclosed trailer, carried my car and Ferrari with no incident other than a drained battery. Apparently the guy hit the light switch leaving it on by mistake.
