Intercity Lines
Just picked up my car from Intercity Lines in Blaine, Washington and brought it up to Vancouver.
Intercity seems like a great outfit. The drivers (a couple, Bob and Sharlene) were very professional, super careful, courteous and friendly. The cost was $1885 to ship it from Boston. Seems to me the price was pretty good as it was shipped from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
They were very helpful finding a way to load the car on the U-Haul trailer I had. The trailer was a big mistake but I did get it on and off without any damage.
After reading about people that have sent them in open carriers and by train and hearing about all of the problems, I can't imagine using anyone other than a top flight car transporter.
Kind of reminds me of the thing about people wanting to buy no name used chips on E-bay to save a couple of hundred bucks.
You spend lots of time and lots of money buying the car of your dreams. You cheap out on the transport to save a a couple of hundred or maybe a thousand dollars. Your car gets damaged or at least manhandled. Where is the logic in that?

I have also used Intercity Lines, and had 2 great shipping experiences. They are a bit pricey, but as you said, the alternative could be even more expensive. I'll certainly use them again.

I used Intercity 2 years ago and the same couple delivered my car from Chicago to Seattle. On time (actually early), everything as expected, very pleasant to deal with. Would recommend them for sure.
