Reliable, honest, trustworthy auto shippers?

Anyone used a good, honest auto shipper that they'd really recommend?

Trying to get a car from Mass. to GA.

i would just use a big outfit with a good rep. the more they haul, the cheaper per car. i worked for hertz for a bit and i would see random used cars thrown in with new deliveries sometimes- never saw one of those guys damage a car, the ones who drive the big haulers are usually pretty competent.

YMMV though.

I've made...seven, I think, trips to/from NH to FL for a couple different people, but it's not cheap after paying me plus expenses, and it doesn't keep miles off the car.

Are you looking for an enclosed trailer, or just a car carrier?

 

[brblx]

same difference...just don't be the lead car on an open trailer. not pretty, hehe.

edit for clarification: there are fullsize carriers that are enclosed, in case anyone was unaware. usually canvas-sided.

Just a carrier, JLee. The car is a late '90's Toyota Camry....not exactly very valuable, but has proven a reliable car that's costing -0- to us outside getting it to GA.

The problem is.....wife's up there (Cape Cod to be specific) with her dad who is in an ICU in Hyannis after suffering a heart attack. He's 82 and his prognosis isn't exactly good. And no matter what the end result is from his hospitalization, his overall condition has deteriorated enough that he'll never drive again. He's the second owner; the original owner was a relative of his that was about as old as he is......until she died.

Now, I'm "stuck" in GA with four dogs and no viable way to get it down here, so am researching viable alternatives.



BTW, JLee, how exactly does "not cheap" define with you in this case? The car'd be going from Wellfleet, MA (02667) to Statesboro, GA (30458).
