[size=4]I'm looking for advice from my fellow forum members. I'm planning on moving from Florida to Mckinney Texas this summer. Would really appreciate any advice as to the best auto transporter.[/size]

Thank you

While I haven't used them directly, Vehiport.com I did call about possibly shipping a car I was looking at, they are a broker and almost put bids out to drivers, inclosed is always going to be a little more.

i looked into doing getting a transport down to the shop who's doing the D1R SC install (currently there)... and couldn't find a single company i trusted. So, I drove it there. only 3.5 hours away... not the trek you are looking at.... hope you find a trust-worthy company.

I just shipped the speed yellow 968 coupe from Florida to CT. Pete at RS barn pointed me to eBay. You put your request in there and you will get a number of offers and prices. I didn't choose the cheapest but it worked out very well and for the $100 and what I would have paid in gas and airfair I had the car in front of my house with no additional miles.

Whatever you do - get covered, single-destination transport. I made the mistake of allowing Dependable Auto Shippers transport it on a regular carrier from CA to MA. They ripped off my apron (and threw it away), in turn destroying the apron mounting points in my bumper, took the car for a joyride and left it covered with mud when they delivered it (the other two cars transported with it didn't have a spot of mud). Once the mud was cleaned off, I found that there were scratches into the paint on almost every body panel.



After getting a quote for $5800 from my body shop to repair all of the damage they did (not even a full respray!), they offered me $2100 to replace the front bumper and the apron - the only two pieces they would admit to damaging.



I'm in the process of getting the car repainted over this winter and didn't get to drive it in the summer/fall due to waiting to settle my claim with the transporters.



Long story short - Single-destination, covered transport. No loading/unloading.

Can anyone recommend European transporters??

 

I'm moving a car from Switzerland to Southern France.

 

I note the comments about door to door and single vehicle transport.

 

Thanks in advance.
