Shipping a Car

I live in Cali now but my GSX is back in KY and I'm wanting to get it here. Does anyone know a good company that ships cars. I have searched google and seen plenty but I'm not so sure if I can trust those sites. Please let me know a company that is a good company. If you dealt with them how the customer service was. Thanks.

I used DAS to ship my evo from Boise ID to Tucson AZ. 700 something, not a single scratch

Intercity Lines is amazing if you are willing to spend premium. I used it when I bought my evo and the service was really great.

The bad news is it cost $1400 to ship from Florida to NY.....

I have shipped a bunch of cars. I can tell you who NOT TO USE. Do not use Transportservicesonline. Check out my site to read about my horror story with them www.transportservicesonlinesucks.com Check out this site to see how companies have been rated. www.transportreviews.com I had decent luck with Hilton Transport. Shipped a Porsche and an Audi both shipments went as planned.

Good luck and if you can look for a company that has there own trucks and that isn't just a broker. Most of the companies just post online and find a truck that has space and is going that route. So a real crap shoot. Also you want to be able to be able to know where abouts the truck is. That way you can be ready for drop off. Just do your research and sometimes its not the best idea to go with the cheapest. Just my experiences.

Those guys are scammers hard core. They rip people off non stop. I can't believe they are still in business. I made the site for awareness so that others would not get screwed. Just do your research when shipping your car. Don't be afraid to ask questions.. A good company will be upfront and honest.
