car transport
anyone know a good and inexpensive Transport co.? Need to get my car to Houston from Atlanta.

I just had my car shipped in Dec from Orlando to Dallas by R&L Carriers for $1200.
|
Intercity Lines charged me about the same for shipping my ERA kit from New Britain, CT, to Waco, TX. They did an outstanding job.
|
Looks like I,m O.K. then.I'm geting quotes around $700.00, inclosed.
Thanks for replies Alex |
Intercity gave me a price of 1200 NC to TX

You might check this site out: http://www.transportreviews.com/ This site rates shippers and price. I haven't shipped my car yet, but I hope to soon. The thing I'm not sure about: It seems like there are brokerages that post a transport job. Then carriers check the postings and find a car or cars that fit the truck's schedule. So it is not like you are finding a specific truck and driver company to transport your Cobra. I'm not sure I like that, but I don't know. What you say?

Alex, did you buy a car in Atlanta? I recently looked at SPO #2404, Red with grey strips. Same one? I've got some good info on that car and want to find the new owner.
|
no, I bought a Black 289 FIA. Looks like Realiable is the way to go. I got a quote of $700.00 door to door.

Be Careful
AJ, Please ship your Cobra with someone other than the low bidder, use a known shipper that has experience with Cobras, if you don't you may be in a world of hurt. There are more bad stories about shipping Cobras with "truck lines" than you can imagine. It's your business, but I hate to see someone roll the dice on a Cobra. db:CRY::CRY::CRY:

I agree highly. I researched as you did, nearly went with a lower bid, checked further, and went with Intercity--great job, on schedule (even called me along the way with progress comments), absolutely no damage, and absolutely nothing missing. You get what you pay for.
|
From my research, Realiable is a good hauler. they haul a lot of high dollar cars. the reason for the low price, i had a friend who uses them for Porsche hauling.

I use Reliable Carriers on a routine basis. Definitely top notch company.

Thanks Bill, I think they'll do a good job.

FedEx
Call FedEx. they will meet and beat any offer. I had my car shipped from Ohio to Dallas, and FedEx was $200-400 less than anyone else.
It was not a dedicated delivery though. So if you're not in a rush, and can wait a few extra days, it might be worth contacting them. 1-800-gofedex |
I have excellent auto transport company if still want to move your car.
