Looking for recommendations, based on personal experience, for Closed Auto Transporters.
Going from Riverside, CA to Wheaton, Il (or thereabouts). Trying to get all the ducks in a row. 72 days until we hit the road. WAGONS EAST!

The Avanti was transported from LA to Austin by Passport Transport in an enclosed trailer at a cost of $1,300 (basically a buck-a-mile). Vault Classic Cars, where I bought the car, only uses Passport. It was picked up and delivered on schedule. Highly recommend them.

Shiny chrome, shiny paint and good looking equipment is not necessarily a recipe for success. I have personal disappointment with Passport, as does a friend of mine, then it becomes deny deny deny and the battle over the claim. Best to discuss your insurance coverage with your insurer before releasing to a shipper - more than likely you will be making a claim on YOUR insurance and letting the insurer's battle it out.

Hell hath no fury like a woman whose new BMW is delivered with a smashed nose.
My advice applies regardless of carrier/ownership. Everyone I know has, or has heard, stories of transport damage. Add some passion to the circumstance of transporting our beloved cars and it becomes a volatile mix best handled by lawyers and/or assassins.

I have never had a bad experience with a car transporter (CA to NM, NM to TX, TX to NM, MD to TX, TX to MD). Transporters were a mix of private and large carriers. All the cars were in covered trailers. I understand accidents happen and like DF, said check the condition of your insurance before shipping.
