so, thinking there area a lot of people on this board with experience having cars transported. Both good and bad experiences I am sure.

Any recommendations for RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE enclosed transport companies to ship a 914 + some spares (2 extra sets wheels / tires, maybe a few other things) from Arkansas to northern California?

I don't want to get ripped off or have me or the seller have to deal with hassles.

Thanks

Enclosed is going to cost you. I've been looking at shipping on open trailers, and it runs from around $800 to $1200 from Vegas to TN. I don't have any experience with enclosed auto shippers, but I'll guess it will cost at least twice that.

Several years back, I did a transport from California to Wisconsin. I had a great experience with Enclosed Vehicle Transport.

DON'T use Webster Services, even though they are Based in Arkansas. I used to use them as a Broker, but they have yanking my Chain for 2 Months now.

You can fit a 914 into the back of a uhaul truck just anchor in tie downs and bobs your uncle.

Yeah, that is correct JT, my hair is blowing more because I was leading your 3.0L six ass with my ragged wore out 2.0L LE. We shall meet on 298 again.

Then again you guys just might have had your hair all slicked down from all the oil blowing out of my turd. Next time try being the lead car, the view is much better.
