I need a car transported from Florida to California in the next couple of weeks, does anybody know of a good company or companies that I should speak to about a quote? Open or enclosed transport is fine...

Thanks!

ROADTRIP!!!!
most cars have engines and wheels- and thus move on their own- so drive it..

I had an M3 sent from Miami to SF about 2 years for $1400 enclosed. The truck was filled with very nice cars and I was very happy.

Steve,

Check out www.uship.com (http://www.uship.com) which is owned by ebaY. You can post a need to have the car shipped from the origin zip code to your zip code and the website will automatically match you with shippers that commonly travel that route and they will bid on the shipment and you can decline if their bids are too high until you & the shipper agree on a price for the shipment.

This is usually cheapest way to ship ANYTHING too big for ground shipping, but you might need to work around the shippers schedule.

The shippers on the site pay the site to get your job so it is FREE for you to post a potential shipment and the shippers build a profile off of previous customers feedback just like a seller on ebaY and they are insured and bonded etc.:twothumbs
