I've used www.angelsmovingautos.com in the past and have been quite happy with them.

I used Pilot Transport from AZ to NJ for my 911. They took good care of it, communicated decently, and there were no surprises.

Reliable Carriers. Used them twice for enclosed transport of my 928.

When I bought my car out of state, the dealer used Bears Transport, they're a broker. They got the car from ATL to CLE in a day for $900, enclosed. Two of my friends used them for shipping cars out to CA, paid $2k or so, enclosed. Every time you will get a different truck since they're a broker.

Reliable though is who I would want to use for my GT3 though if I ever wanted to ship it.

For those of you that have shipped was it enclosed or not? I know it’s more enclosed but for a 1200 mile trip what do most prefer?

Intercity Lines for white glove enclosed transport. Not the cheapest but awesome to work with. Be very careful about who you work with. I suggest that you work with an actual truck operator and not a truck broker. Lots of horror stories out there with brokers and fly-by-night operations. Intercity and Reliable both have stellar reputations.

Intercity is a Rennlist sponsor. If you go to the Vendors page you can find them and send a message. They have been very responsive to my inquiries.

I know Amtrak ships them. A quick search shows this...https://www.amtrakvacations.com/trip...ng/auto-train/

Would be fun, but only gets you to DC. But then could drive it home.
