Transporting your auto

Any suggestions on a carrier to move a auto from Oregon to Florida. All I see are horror stories about "brokers". Some brokers pretend to be actual carriers but are not. I have spent a lot of time looking on the internet but I hope I can get a recommendation from someone here. thanks

I used intercity lines 2 yrs ago, and it was very professional; the communication, the arrangements, the delivery. And I got the car delivered for around a $1/mile. From my experience with them I can recommend them

Recently used Passport transport. Reasonable, prompt and courteous. Would very much recommend them.

I have used both carriers with the same results. Go directly to the carrier, not to a broker. $1/mile seems to be the going rate.

get the Uship app or go to the website.

the carriers bid for your business. some are brokers, so you will just have to google them when they bid and find out if they are carriers or brokers. but even then some of the carriers will send the work to a 3rd party and still manage it.

I have my 37 limo coming soon. PAAVO transport llc is the one picking it up. I went with them because he is a small business man and not a large corporation. He works with his father. He has a 32' enclosed trailer that he pulls with a F350. I have his personal cell phone number and he always communicates whether email/phone/text. he is picking up my car this Friday and will deliver next week due to scheduling conflicts we all had to work out. He is storing it in his personal heated garage for me until he leaves on next Wednesday to deliver on Thursday.

He is insured as well. http://paavotransport.com/

he was 300 less then everyone else, he was under the $1 per mile. JW is correct on that number. The car doesn't start because of a dead battery and the back tires are low. he is bringing an air pump and will winch the car in the trailer. most shippers want it to roll or start.

I cannot speak as to the transport yet, but so far he has gone above and beyond what I have expected.
