Depends on how much you want to spend and how flawless you want the shipping to be. I generally use top of the line shippers because you get what you pay for and the cars I am shipping are usually mint. I shipped my last car with some unknown company (car was still transported closed carrier) and they scratched it! Wish I would've spent the extra $800 on one of the best in the business instead, like I normally do.

So who would I use? Intercity Lines or Reliable Carriers. Horseless Carriage I believe is another.

If you're wanting open carrier/cheap recommendations, I have no suggestions.

I used reliable carries once. shipping is almost always a bit pricey, but it's well worth it to spend the extra money on a nice car. Last thing you want is to go through a huge hassle dealing with a dinged up car.

Check uship.com You will get a few transportors and the best price available. I used it to ship my 2nd non running Evo from VA to NC

uship is where I found the one I had a bad experience with, but it is an option for multiple bids from tons of carriers.

When I shipped my rolling ix I went with turbo auto transport all the way from Texas to Canada. It was great service, they always kept me updated and price was decent but pretty high because of the distance. I was impressed when it had arrived in the exact condition if expected not a dent or scratch. With shipping you really get what you pay for. It wasn't the fastest process but then again it was almost 2000 km away lol

Thanks for the info all. Im going to check out all the recommended companies, and compare. Worse case scenario maybe ill just drive it back. I just want to put all those miles on it, and bugs/rock chips, etc...

Just drive it, it'll be the best drive and give you plenty of time to bond with the car

Fl to tx is not a bad drive, one way ticket there enjoy the beach weather and drive back

I had dealings with 2 companies when I purchased my Evo. It was in Ca. and I am in NJ and I wanted an enclosed carrier which costs more but I have heard some horror stories about open carriers.
Stay away from Transcorp LLC, they couldn't deliver and stole my $500 deposit. PM me for the guy's name in case he changed business names or something like that.....

I can only rave about these guys....New World Auto Transport. When I got sick of that other douchebag and found this company I was so happy. The car was on the carrier the next day and the driver was great. The price was $150 more than those other guys and that was super short notice.

This is what I did. Hands down best drive of my life! Painter taped the front and sides at the rear door.

I drove from North Carolina back to Long Island when I picked mine up. It was one of the best drives I've ever had. When I got home the front bumper looked like a bug graveyard .. A quick wash and it was back to normal. If you're worried about the bug and rock chips you can put a car bra on it, or like some other people have mentioned, painters tape.
