Car transport service
 
Has anyone used Direct Conect Auto Transport to ship their Porsche across the USA? Any reviews is appreciated. Other transport company suggestions is also welcome.

Thanks!

The transport business is such that you will rarely have the current you contract actually deliver your car. Everybody transporter is a broker and every broker is a transporter. I suggest picking somebody in the middle of the bids and accept that your car will probably come on the safe no-name truck whichever broker you hire.

I shipped two cars across country last summer and searched around more than I expected to need to do to find the right shipper....I went with Plycar as the best combination of national reputation, price, and service. They are an actual transport company and not a broker--I actually see their trucks around all the time.

Go with a proven company that has full insurance and experienced driver's, not a broker. Some of the ones I have used are Reliable, Horseless Carriage & Intercity. I have used shippers many times over the years, both sending and receiving, and I would not use a broker and not know who was handling my car. You could get a good one but if you use one of the trusted ones you should not have to worry.

I just used Best Auto Movers to ship my Aston Martin to California from Florida and they shipped my new Porsche Targa GTS from C.A. To Florida for me, It took exactly 7 days as promised as well as good rates for the cars being shipped in an enclosed trailer. . Everything went very well if this helps. Baxter

You should give L.A. Prep, Inc. a call to see what they can offer. They are not brokers and they're located near Long Beach, CA. I've worked with them for the past 26 years in the automotive advertising industry and they've been one of the best and most reliable vendors I've ever worked with.

I ended up using Plycar to ship my Porsche from AZ to PA. They were awesome. Their truck we top notch and the driver kept me updated on the progress of my car. Would use them again for sure.

BTW, they are not a broker. You deal with Plycar and they are the ones who get your car. My car did not have to be moved from the truck during the transport.

Good to Know!.

I am glad that I found this thread. I am currently searching for a transport service to ship my 911 enclosed from Miami to LA. Most companies that I have contacted are brokers except for Reliable, which quoted me $2500. I will call the companies listed above.

I used Best Movers to ship my Aston to San Diego and ship my Porsche from San Diego to S; Florida, enclosed and on time, Best Movers is out of Jacksonville, Fl. Hope this helps. Jc

Intercity gives a pretty good rate to 6speedonline members and you can post here to get a quote. I have used them, and several others over the years, and they always did a good job: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...d-members.html

When it comes to car transportation & logistics, always opt for a company and not a broker. I had sent and received shipment through Agility and found them reliable as well as safe. Plus, the company also provides good value deals. I hope this helps.
