I've moved three times in the last 6 and a half years. I have always used Plycar for my 911's. Never an issue, they are great.
(moved from Oklahoma city, St Louis, and now to Atlanta this March)

If you use Plycar you will only be dealing direct with the carrier. They will get the car to it's destination on time. You won't be dealing with any of the 3rd party transportation services which are almost always a headache and usually end up not being worth the low cost they charge.

We had a car sitting at our shop for pick up for 5 weeks. The customer decided to go online and go with a low cost transport guy. They promised the car picked up in a week but it took 5 weeks before I convinced him to just use Plycar. Plycar picked up the car the next day and had it back to him on the East Coast in 6 days.

Sometimes the car gets shipped to different depots and transferred to different truck on the way to you when the cars get paid for by bid.

Thanks I will check them out. I want to go direct with a carrier. I'm in the shipping industry, and very familiar how brokerage works. I don't want this car brokered. I want it loaded on the truck once, and taken off when it gets to me!

Dealt with them for business... they have damaged cars..

Needless to say ( had a shipment from WA to Alaska they totally screwed up... didnt tie cars down properly. - yes trailer gets sealed at the border until destination-)

Im not a Reliable fan..... wouldnt trust them with my OWN vehicles.

I’m an airline pilot with plenty of free time these days. I can fly to where the car is and deliver it to you. Promise to keep it under 150 on the highway!😉

I’ve used Intercity across the country and back multiple times and they are fantastic. Excellent communication, the drivers own the trucks, and reasonable pricing. I highly recommend them.

I used Montway which my dealer friend recommended.
www.montway.com

I used PA to CA, CA to NY, NY to CA. all 3 were cross country delivery and had no issue. They do not have their own truck but they were on top of their stuff unlike other car shipping services I used before.
I'll prob. use them again if I move or buy a car from out of state.

I've used Montway as well. The Trucking company they contracted is GAS motorsports. I'd use them again.

I used Plycar from Philly to south west Florida. Great driver, great experience. Took great care to make sure my car arrived even without dust.
