Coast to coast Vehicle Transport?

[Ccmano]

Who are you guys using to do long distance vehicle transport? My son needs to ship a car (not a Z but a collector car) from Atlanta to Reno. I know Reliable is sort of the standard. What's everyone using?

How about escrow services for payment? Any recommendations?

I sold a ?74 roadster a few years ago to a guy from Louisiana. He arranged the transport so I don?t have first hand knowledge of cost but Gran Turismo motorsports handled it for him. Only issue I had was his car sitting in my garage for nearly a month awaiting the pickup. (Middle of nowhere in West Virginia might have something to do with the delay) Talked with him after receipt and he was pleased with their service. The driver was very congenial and careful with the load and the rig was a clean enclosed double deck trailer. I?ve never used a transport service before but this one worked well for us.

I used Reliable and Montway to shipy car from North Carolina to Illinois and then internally within Illinois.

Reliable had the easiest and clearest communication, I had to do a bit of chasing at my end to ensure the contracted Montway driver kept my pickup and location contacts updated.

I think Montway just acts as an agent and contracts to subcontractors but may be proven wrong.

I've done it twice in the last year. First time was with Reliable and it was quick, clean, and easy. The second time, Reliable gave me an estimate of ~3 weeks before the car could be picked up, and I succumbed to the seller telling me he had an agent who could arrange shipping for less money and quicker. In the end it was more expensive, took just as long as Reliable told me initially, and the car arrived dirty. Next time I would go back to Reliable.

I actually bought my Z from a forum member in Reno. Had the car shipped to NJ and used Intercity Lines and had a great experience with them.

I used Montway to and from Haibeck. Both drivers were careful and focused on the car and customer. The last guy had just picked up his new enclosed trailer in GA. Still new inside.
I didn't check with the other transports on Marc's sight. I would call them again.

I got quotes from Reliable, Passport, Intercity and one other. The $45 Hagerty drivers club membership saved me $600 getting my Z shipped from NJ to Colorado last March via Reliable. They shipped my C6Z from Kerbeck to Dallas in 08' for the same price ($1700).

I used Intercity to ship my car from Ga to Ca,not the cheapest but definitely worth it. I paid a premium to ensure my car went into the front of the truck and didn't move until I got the car.

That?s what you think; they may change carrier teams as many as three times!

Our "local" reliable driver ( Art) is based in Colorado springs. He drove to long island and picked up 4 cars. After delivering mine, he delivered 2 of the remaining 3 cars to friends of mine.

One month later he drove down and back to Odessa, TX to pick up a 64' coupe, 64' fuelie vert and Mr. Norms last Race hemi car for my buddy Dave. He remembered delivering my CR1 when asked about it and told my buddy to tell me HI!

Your experience may vary...

So we settled on Montway. Universally excellent reviews and reasonably priced. Since he doesn't need it to be enclosed we figured we would save the almost double the price. Thanks for everyone's input!
