try uship.com - you can get a feel for certain shippers by their responses and you can also compare apples to apples. Not sure if they handle cross-border stuff but I'm thinking they would.

I ended up using a company that I found via uship.com but did not book through that site - only because I had settled on using them but then my shipping dates changed and the 'bid' expired. I liked the way they communicated initially so when the time actually did come, I went direct.

http://fastlaneautotransportation.com worked well for me - but they ARE a broker themselves. They had great communication, preferred to have everything in writing to the point where they used text messaging almost exclusively. responsive and I was very satisfied. My shipment was a 914 from Florida to Indiana. YMMV but good luck!

Be very very careful with U-Ship, it's the wild west of shipping. Make sure the person you pic is actually a car hauler and not some redneck in a converted motorhome. Case in point, had a guy buy a 356 from me, didn't want to use my shipper, he saved $100 going with a guy on U-Ship. The guy showed up with a motor home full of furniture, he had double booked. He unloaded the furniture in my yard, loaded the car, and then re-loaded the furniture, on top of the car! It was hard to watch.

If the car is of any value, go with a known shipper like reliable or Intercity, it will cost more but when a shipper damages your car you are left holding the bag. I've fought it for months with insurance companies and never seen a dime.
