Default Auto Transport Recommendations

I need to ship my 911 to an event in TX this spring. Does anyone have any recommendations on an auto transport company to use?

I would try to find an owner/operator, that way the person who picks up your car is the one who transports it. If you call transport numbers, a lot of them go through a broker and the car gets handed off many times, (depending upon how far you are shipping) and if there is damage, you are pretty much out of luck trying to collect. Good luck. Michael

Beware of the growing vehicle theft scams often hidden behind brokered shipments. Ed Bolian has a great video on it.

I use a broker. Have referred him 100s of cars and he is great, he handled my 911, a number of cars for my parents and just about anyone else I work with.

His name is Mickey @ A1 Transport his number is 516 906 9838, tell him casey sent you.

I've used Mickey twice. Once from Virginia to Oregon and once from Oregon to South Carolina. No issues to report.

Or go big with someone like Intercity or Reliable. My dad's used Intercity over the years without issue.

I've used uship.com for 5+ vehicles ranging from junkyard 928s to a GT2RS. They are just a brokerage service, but never had an issue.
