Hi there,
A newbie and looking for advice/recommendations on shipping a car. One shipper better than another etc.. Have been querying various companies and getting high prices. Uncovered shipping is fine.
thanks

I recently used Direct Express Auto Transport (http://www.autotransportdirect.com/) to ship my 914. They had very competitive prices and the driver arrived ahead of schedule. I would use them again.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Back in 914 mode after a 28 year hiatus, had a 72 1.7 in the late 70s and just obtained a 73 2.0.

Two years ago I had a good experience with FedEx/Passport. Expensive but they did the job perfectly. Covered transport was important to me.

I used Direct Auto Shippers a couple of years ago from Cali to KY. At that time it was very reasonable. Didn't have any problems out of them. I would use them again providing they weren't out of line with their prices these days.

Abel shipped my last one to it's new owner. Open carrier, cheaper than most transport companies. Arrived without any damage.
