Intercity Lines for the win. Sometimes they will offer rennlist discounts so I suggest contacting Jim for a quote: jim@intercitylines.com

No hard sell and quick answer.

texasviany,

Thanks for the price quote. Normal retail rate is $1338, your Rennlist price will be $1238 for a normal sized car from Philly to Austin. Please let us know if we can help you with your move.

Thanks,
Jim

Best part about Intercity is that it's likely to be the same driver that delivered your car to the dealer from the port, so they know what they're doing.

I used Intercity to transport a Cayman S from San Francisco to Dallas. The only issue was a delay in picking up the car, and it was due to the fact that they use a dedicated, enclosed truck to transport the car. They do not change drivers or trucks, and the service was top notch. The cost was $1,445 for enclosed transportation.

I talked to Jim at Intercity. They are great to work with. If the stars line up, and because they ship for Porsche (port to dealer), I can pay extra to have the truck wait while the dealer preps the car...then they can take it right away.
