Intercity quoted me the obscene price of $4500 for Fl to Ontario 2 years ago.

I just dealt with Hansens and I couldn't be more satisfied... They ship all the Porsche cars from Nova Scotia to everywhere in Canada so trust me they know how to take care of cars.
The import experience... couldn't be any easier. They charged me $3000 Philadelphia to Calgary. They dropped of the car at customs so all I did was put the plate on and drive it!!

SeaRail are rail terminal to rail terminal, so transport must be arranged at both ends. Some guy on Rennlist had a beef with them about damage a couple of years ago.

I used Hansens for Fl to Toronto. From the PO's condo to my driveway. $1500 or so 2 yrs ago for open truck. I would use them again.
