Cheapest option would probably be to go through UShip - you put in your requirements and people bid on the job and give you quotes. From what I've heard/read, a really trusted source is reliable auto transport - not sure on their pricing though. Other members will likely chime in with their experiences as well.

Sounds like a great road trip. That said, I’ve had great experiences with Intercity. Used them on thee occasions for 3 different cars. Very professional, no damage, on time, etc. very competitive prices too.

I used USHIP to get my 911 from San Diego to Bremerton. I had a very tight timeline and Reliable couldn't meet it. Got multiple bids right away, and then looked up their reviews on the internet (not the USHIP site, because they're all 5 star there). I'd have to dig to find out who I eventually went with, but they were based in the Seattle area. Covered transport, about 3 days, and it was about 2/3 of what Reliable wanted.

I've used these fellows as have many NW Collectors:

Both Randy and Fred communicate between themselves, so it does not matter who you call.

FYI: Randy McKinley: maxiet@gmail.com (360) 661-1734 -

Fred Koller: fkoller@earthlink.net (702) 361-1928

They do nation wide and lots of west coast work. Very dependable/efficient.

Okay so I went with A to Z Auto Transport. I got them from UShip. I can’t find my receipts for it but I think it was about a grand. It was an enclosed trailer but it was the open trailer rate.
