Car transport and brokers are the absolute scummiest slimebalms on the planet. I went horseless carriage because I refuse to let some scumbag dictate changes in plans or extra charges that differ on what was agreed upon.

I don't think he realised Horseless Carriage in a delivery company and took it as a euphemism.

HAHA yeah I didn't know that was a delivery company and from the way he put it it sounds like he didn't go with a delivery company at all hence the euphemism.

Hi! I see it's been a while, but I would like to chime in. It's always nerve-wracking when you've invested in a new car and want to keep it in pristine condition.
As for reputable shippers, several companies specialize in enclosed car transport and have a good track record. I suggest a1autotransport.com, as I had a positive experience with them.
It's also a nice idea to do your research and read reviews before choosing a shipping company.

Sounds like Reliable Carriers, InterCity, and Horseless are the best ones recommended so far for enclosed. I did get a quote from InterCity East --> West for $3300...a lot more than I wanted or expected. Waiting on Reliable and Horseless. Anyone use Dekt Logistics before? Their quote was $2350 - 2800 depending on white glove. Also would love to hear what others paid for this year.

Rolled the dice with Montway on my M2C shipment from Orlando to Denver area last month and it went very well. I went enclosed transport and paid $1499. Carrier was Viks Express and they were great to work with. No issues whatsoever.

Wow great price. I’m cautious about using brokers after reading around, but I’ll look up Viks. Got quotes back from Plycar ($3k - mainly moving high-end new cars), Reliable ($3.5k), Mccollister ($4.3k!!), and Coastal Car ($2.4K). Anyone try Coastal?? Plycar (prob like the other ones) owns all 40 of their trucks and employs the drivers so def sounds safer and reliable.

They have a track record of reliability and transparency. Wishing you a smooth and stress-free experience this time around! 🚗✨
