Hi all, hoping someone might have some advice to share on shipping. I’m moving a 991 from CT to CA and the brand-name shipping companies all seem to have significant backlogs.
For example, times to arrange enclosed car carrier pickup:
Reliable 5-6 weeks
Intercity 2-4 weeks
Passport 4 weeks
McCollister’s 3-4 weeks
Angels 4 weeks
Some brokers are offering me enclosed pickup within 2 days. Are any of them worth using, or should I just wait it out? Thank you in advance.
Read this thread from the beginning. Then read it again.
DO NOT USE A BROKER.
>Enclosed pickup in 2 days< doesn’t mean shat when your car disappears for 4 weeks waiting for someone to pick it up for delivery. Oh, and did I mention?
wait, brokers are liars and will tell U whatever U want to hear,,,when it doesnt happen they blame it on the good guys..the guys that actually have their own drivers and trucks
You can PM me for a rate and schedule.
We are are a broker and none of the above, I am sorry for their experience.
We ship for 6 different Porsche dealerships exclusively for almost 10 years , feel free to get references.
Please read my reviews, right here on Rennlist, BBB, Yelp , transport reviews.

I ended up working with Laki at Shaughnessy Overland Express. Their trucks were all on north-south routes, but he arranged a high-spec 3rd party carrier to do the trip.
Competitive price, good communication, fast shipping, pleasant driver. Most importantly, the car arrived without any issues.
I would definitely use them again. Here's a picture of the truck that pulled up.

+1 for a great experience with Liz at @BearsTransport . Had some difficulty securing transport from MN to CA (which was weird), but Liz stuck through it like a champ and updated me every step of the way, including late night and on the weekends AND taking into account the time differences.
Great communication - highly highly recommended!
Car arrived in perfect condition, driver was super friendly (and even drove through two storms just getting here).
Thanks so much for the great experience, Liz!!

I need to ship a 2009 Porsche from Carolina to California. I understand from reading all the posts that Intercity, Horseless & Reliable are most recommended. They certainly look to be very good & cater to high end market with quotes from $3K & up.
I'm hoping people will share more recent experiences transporting car across the country & have recommendations.
