I don't trust any of them!! When I sold my car I recorded them loading it onto the carrier. Right up the ramps and BONK into the car in front of it. The shop I worked at was in a plaza with a car shipper, too and on a daily basis we'd see them racing the cars up and down the street then right onto a third party shippers truck. Download a valet tune, take a pic of the odometer and roll the dice.

stay away from 3rd party carriers, pay up and use reliable carriers, passport transport, intercity lines

Looks like it will be Reliable. I can drop and pick up at their terminals which isn't far from me for $1110 enclosed. Intercity is like 1895 door to door.

I've had good luck with A1 Auto Transport (https://www.a1autotransport.com/enclosed/) for long distance/enclosed. Used them twice over the past couple years and did a great job both times. Definitely would be my choice if I had to do it again, but it's always a good practice to explore other pricing options with something like this. My experience is that the pricing tends to be slightly different depending on who you talk to (which company I mean).

I have learned few if no carriers insure items left in the vehicle....LEAVE NOTHING in the vehicle! (I have shipped dozens of cars over the last 10 years).
