    Can anyone recommend an auto transport company?

    I'm gonna need to ship my Stealth to Florida (San Diego to Miami) in the next few weeks. I'm looking for enclosed shipping and I was wondering if anyone had experience with, or can recommend a company that'll get my car there safely without charging Ferrari prices.

    A lot of 6 speed online members and rennlist folks use Intercity Lines and would recommend them. They only have enclosed transports. I have not used them myself, but have gotten several quotes from them over the years and they always respond promptly and have good pricing. I think they even have GPS tracking too that you can follow online so you know exactly where your car is.

    Beware of brokers and stick with actual transport companies. I used Thomas C. Sunday Inc Enclosed Automobile Transportation Enclosed Car Shipping Enclosed Car Transport to ship my current Supra at the recommendation of some exotic owners and club racers I know. I was extremely pleased and their pricing is VERY reasonable for the level of care and service you get. Pick up and drop off was exactly when they said it would be and the car arrived in flawless condition. When you call, you don't speak to a customer service rep in a call center, you speak to an actual decision maker within the company. You also don't pay a cent with these guys until they're at your doorstep.

    Turns out, moving the car is included in my relocation package. I'll have to pay extra for the enclosed carrier, but I guess the relocators have a carrier they use. If not, thanks for all the recommendations, I still might be able to use them.
