Default Car Transporter Recommendations

Can anyone recommend a carrier that will transport a car from New Jersey to Canada? I’m trying to help out the buyer of my 993. Apparently alot of companies don't go into Canada.

Hands down - TFX International. Toronto based. Thats what they do is bring cars into Canada. Currently they are bringing my 993 from Missouri into Canada. They handle it all. Pick up in an enclosed carrier via hydraulic lift, handle importing and customs (you just have to pay one invoice to TFX and it covers any taxes, fees, etc) Now I have not seen my car yet, but it has been absoluelty painless. Very highly recommended online as well. However, they are not cheap!

I've got to price out bringing a car from L.A. to Calgary. Can you tell me what your TFX invoice was (customs, taxes & fees) coming from Missouri? It does seem like the easiest solution.

Alternative option: Offer to store the car for 6 weeks; then have the buyer fly into Newark, drive the car to Hershey in April and into Canada. I know a few people who are doing this.

TFX brought both of my 993's and my '70 LS5 up here from the US. I'd recommend them also...
