Default Recommendation for car haulers NY->LA?

I've pushed the button and am moving to LA area in January.

Would appreciate any carrier recommendations to haul my GT3 across country without damaging it?

Road trip out of the question due to rug rats.

Clint shipped my RS from Iowa to me in PDX. I recommend him highly.

i used Intercity Lines to ship my touring from Boston to Houston and couldn’t have been happier. Car will stay on the same truck with the same driver for the whole trip. You communicate directly with the driver to coordinate pick-up/drop-off and anything in between. Costs a few hundred dollars more than the other guys but for shipping a $200k+ car it’s completely worth it for the piece of mind.

Ace American Transport took care of my GT3 from Cleveland to Las Vegas with no problems and stayed on time.

I would highly recommend Horseless Carriage, They shipped my Ferrari from Rhode Island to my home in Corona del Mar in perfect order. This was in '07 and they provided constant satellite tracking at that time. It was fabulous service.

Incognito Express Carrier - have used them at least 5 times in the last 5 years for all Porsches. They only move 2 cars at a time in a closed carrier so easier in and out as well as limited or no reshuffling of your car once initially loaded. They have been awesome to work with each time.

I have another suggestion for you - drive it!

Take 95 South then head west in NC

Reliable
Plycar
Horseless Carriage

I used all of them
PLYCAR is only good on west coast (very good), their EAST coast operation is fkg joke. and I am being polite.

Curious to hear who you end up using and if you’re satisfied. For future reference sake. Thank you.

Thanks again for the recommendations all.

Plycar can be a little spotty in their quality control
