Does anyone have a recommendation for an enclosed car transportation company?

Thank you for your recommendations.

I used Intercity for moving my '40 lasalle from Reno to Connecticut. Cost me $2,000 in 2014, they did an excellent job.

Don't know where you are or where you're going, but if there's a Mecum auction happening at/near either zip code Mecum Transport would be a call. Any other major auction house (BJ's etc) having a similar event InterCity would be a good bet. They're very good, and very expensive (now).
If you're east coast, these guys are friends of mine, they'll be taking both of my cars covered to FL when the time comes.

Be sure to only have personal contact with the carrier, not 'brokers', who are everywhere.

I am a owner of a truck company and not on all wheels we have a date after the DOT. Now after pandemic a lot of businesses will close the activity or already have closed but trucking was very profitable in the period of covid. A lot of people started to order more things online and such companies as amazon and ebay have ordered more truck for loads. In this period I had a lot of work and sometimes was very difficult to do them and I have found The 2020 DQ File Checklist You Need to Pass a DOT Audit , these guys really help me to finish a lot of things as soon as possible. you can check https://www.avatarfleet.com/blog/checklist-to-pass-dot-audit

Why not drive it? You don't worry where is your car, what is happening to it. It won't get damaged. It's all in your hands... Unless it is not a big distance

Like an option. It depends on how busy you are. Someone likes to take a long drive, but I prefer to entrust it to a qualitative shipping company  ;)

I know of someone near Kansas City that hauls cars, I live near St. Louis.  He has hauled many award winning cars to shows for various owners and collectors.  He has a single car enclosed trailer, has hauled many of my Rolls, picked up my 41 in Delaware, and will be picking up my 38 60S next Sunday.


If interested, send me a personnel message.

If you’re not scared off by their quotes, the “big boys” (Inter-City, Passport. Reliable) are very good.  A smaller outfit that is also very good is Thomas Sunday. The last time I needed a shipper, I was going to use Sunday, but they couldn’t accommodate my time frame, and I went with Plycar.  They were great, and somewhat cheaper than the big guys.

Thanks David, I have been using Ron for several years, he was hauling for a RR shop until he left, and is just now getting back into the car hauling business.  I fully trust Ron.

Once I asked myself a question, how can I transport my 2 cars to other country. My friend advised me auto transport shipping company. I decided to call this company and find out, if they can help me with my case. Surprisingly, they have all types of shipping. I used enclosed transportation which is more safe, especially when it is an expensive car. Luckily, I paid for both my cars not as much as I thought. Customer service was on high level, they respond on all your questions. In the end, I can recommend it to you, because this company passed the test.
