Intercity. I have been using them for over 10 years and they are a great & reliable company. I think they also offer a discount for Rennlist & PCA members.

NOTE: the sponsor a "sticky" on the 911 board through which you can request a quote...

I used Intercity several years ago to have my old C2 Aero car delivered from Seattle to Ohio.

Couple of notes, Once the car was picked up it was a very good experience. Driver communicated with me, when the car arrived it was clear it was very well treated, the rig was impressive, nothing short of the best from what I saw.

HOWEVER, I was frustrated with the fact that the timeline was nowhere near what I was "sold" when I called to book the shipping. Excuse after excuse it took them 5 weeks to get a truck to pick up the car from the day I booked. Another 1.5 weeks to get to me which I was fine with but I was told 2-3 weeks for the total process when I booked.

I used Interstate for my move enclosed. They are brokers but I was able to get my car in a week. My car was put up on top and they were $3-400 cheaper than Intercity. I am sure Intercity is top notch but it just did not fit my schedule. Brokers take their cut when booking and its nonrefundable. The trucker get their money when delivering the car.

The ONLY 2 companies I would use for my cars are Intercity and DeMoise. Can't go wrong with either as they are both A+ and comparable on price. Intercity is usually a bit harder to book since they have a huge request from Barret-Jackson and the high end dealers. I have used both several times and both are "white glove" type of service.

I sold a 930 recently that was picked up by Thomas Sunday, really excellent service as well. Plus they had a 993 GT2 with them, I tried to talk them into leaving car with me.

Thinking about it... Got to get it shipped from the left coast, but I can't wait to get back into a Pcar as my daily driver...

I just had my cup car delivered by Reliable from Sebring, FL to Minneapolis, MN. Excellent service, great price. Picked up and delivered as promised. I would definitely use them again - in fact, I will this fall to have the cup car brought back to Florida.
