We've used Intercity and last time moving three cars used Demoise. Could not have been better service with either one.
Your problem with getting someone is this is the time for Monterey Historics/Pebble Beach Concours/ Concourso Italiano and ALL of the auctions that happen around Monterey the middle week of August. Every decent car transport company is booked solid for weeks before and after these events.
Don't settle for some broker that will farm the transport out to who knows who and you will likely end up with damage or your car will sit outside in some staging lot for the next truck to take it to the next lot somewhere to be put on the next truck etc. etc.
Patience and good luck,
Robert

Try Passport-Fedex. They have over 70 trucks on the road all of the time, so maybe their entire fleet is not tied up at Monterey as our the smaller carriers.
. I used them to transport my 993 to AZ. Not only was the service fast and safe they beat everyone else by $300.00 or more.
Here is their website you can get a online quote from:

Whatever you do, don't use DAS. It took them 3 weeks to get my 914 from Houston to Charlotte. And even then, they did the car no favors: fouled the plugs, pulled the tumber out of the ignition, and it general it looked like they ran it through a mud puddle along the way.
