car transportation
Looking to transport a car from Northern California to northern Michigan. Has anyone had a personal experience with any transport company that you could share or recommend (either bad or good personal experience)
Your time is appreciated. Thanks, Glen |

Re: car transportation
If you are familiar with the Hamb, there are 3 QUALITY transporters in the Hamb O Dex section BenD, Racinman Rick & Myself. This section allows you to see Hundreds of references from customers that have used all of our services in the past. I personally do not go across the northern passes this time of year, but you might try Ben or Rick. Whomever you choose, make sure they provide their full name & do your research.

I was fortunate enough to find Kathy Wells from Southern Belles Auto Shipping LLC. They are based out of Missouri. I had an A transported by enclosed trailer from Florida to MN. There was no B.S. involved. They did everything as promised on time...pick up, keeping me informed enroute and delivery. Of course,everyones experience is different but I would use them again. |

Re: car transportation
I had my A transported across country (new hampshire to oregon) in an enclosed trailer. I was quoted from $2k- $4k!! I first checked out the ads in Hemmings and contacted two or three companies to learn many of them are only brokers! The guy that quoted $4k owned his own hauler but was booked out 4-5 months with concour clients. Finally, I by chance met a gentleman at the Portland Swapmeet who gave me the number of a company that owned new state of the art haulers, extremely professional service, and I was allowed to start and drive the car off the back ramp. I am a perfectionist and could not find a single detail to pick them apart. Price: $2,300.00 I was so happy with the transport, I tipped the driver a $100 and he looked at me like I was crazy. I will find their name and no. if your interested.

Re: car transportation
Intercity Lines transported my Sunbeam Alpine from Albany NY to Bloomington IL last year. "door to door" transport in an enclosed trailer was $1200. They covered the car with a soft cover and plastic to keep it clean and dry in the trailer. I thought they were very good.
