    I need a 308 hauled from West Coast to Cincinnati in an enclosed trailer. I have a ton of shipping companies chasing me down, all within about $100 of each other. I've never used a transporter. Anyone have any recommendations or horror stories? TIA Doug

    I have heard nightmares from people who have used Uship.
    They basically contract out, and cars can go on a long magical mystery tour before arriving at their distination, sometimes being misplaced.

    Thanks, I'm not married to that pickup date. I'm flying out to inspect the car and most likely purchase it on March 9th/10th. Would be great to have it picked up while I'm there on the 9th, but not a show stopper. What time frame would work for you? Thanks, Doogie

    I used a nationally known company many years ago, and they significantly damaged my car through negligence.

    Since then, I only use Intercity. Absolute stellar service.

    I bought my 360 Spider in Portland and used Intercity Lines to transport it to Maryland. They did a flawless job with great communication the whole way. They are also a FerrariChat sponsor and offer a discount if you mention the site.

    Plycar is good. I used them for my Alfa from LA to an Atlanta suburb. Price was very competitive, and the driver was excellent!

    Plycon Group are terrific. Their driver, Bobby, is an expert.
