Derek,

My recommendation is Demoise. Great to deal with, timely and car delivered in perfect condition. I shipped a car from Cali to DC with them very happy.

Derek,
I am in process of shipping from Houston to Seattle. I got quotes from Horseless carriage $2250, Intercity freight said they don't do this route, so no quote, and Fed Ex $2050.- and able to pick up within a week. All air ride suspension trailers with good vehicle protection. I am going to use Fed Ex.

Good luck.
Mark

Derek, I second Intercity based on previous experience. I used Fedex once and the pickup was fine, however it took them two weeks to deliver from FL to TN - a 12 hour drive!!! My car was routed around half of the US before being delivered.

I just used Demoise for the second time & they are great. I would however rcommend that you specify that you would like Bob Demoise to be the driver. He was extreemenly professional & careful.

DRPM,

Thanks for the price inquiry. We have a March Special of $1574 for most East coast to most West coast locations for your TT. Please let us know if we can help you with your move.

Thanks,

I used Thomas Sunday and they were great. I seem to recall that a part of the decision was who had a truck going from where you want to where you are. I cannot speak from experience, but I have heard that pick up and drop off dates are not carved in stone. In my case, everything went according to plan.

Enclosed Auto Transportation is the good choice for a vehicle. Even More safety then the Open Transportation type. I found my friend's vehicle was transported by open transportation type and the vehicle was little damaged with dirty. Be sure in choosing the company from the experienced persons.

An enclosed trailer offers complete protection from weather elements and flying objects. Enclosed car transport prevents dust from entering the car or covering the exterior while the car is in transit. There are two types of covered car carriers - hard sided and soft sided. Angels Moving Autos has built a vast network of carriers that service both needs in the enclosed transport. Hard side carriers with a lift gate, or soft side carriers that use ramps to load the vehicles. Many of our hard side carriers are equipped with hydraulic lift gates that hold the vehicle in a horizontal position and provides for safer lifting and handling of the car while being loaded and unloaded, this is necessary for very low ground clearance vehicles.
