Go Intercity.
I have used them cross country a bunch of times- never disappointed.
Driver keeps in contact with you as he is traveling. Cars are covered.
And they are PCA folks too!
Rennlist discount and PCA discounts for porsche owners.

I've used Uship.com with good results. You put in the item to be shipped, to and from, and special requests (i.e. Covered transport). Then you get bids from multiple shippers.

Reliable gave me great service (Chicago to Monterey and back), and they are PCA sponsors at the Parades.

Used Reliable from Michigan to Florida. My biggest complaint was all the oil that had leaked on my car from the vehicle parked above it in the trailer. They did however replace my oil soaked car cover for me. Their explanation was that the plastic sheet they use to protect the lower cars had slipped off. I had tried to use Intercity but they do not service the Michigan/Florida route.

Check out any company you hook up with on uship. The website does not do any verification that shipping companies have operating authority or insurance. Lots of flakey idiots there.

Had a good experience with Intercity when I shipped coast-to-coast.

Intercity did a great job for me when I shipped a car from the east coast to CA. I would use them again and were very fair on price. Picked up the car as scheduled and Driver called me along the way a couple times to keep me updated on schedule and was actually early with the car.

Intercity has been great for me.

I wouldn't use U-Ship, ever, for anything.

Horseless Carriage is not on your list but it's another one to avoid.

I've had good luck with Able Auto Transport. They are brokers and you can choose open or closed. I've used them to/from Germany, Hawaii, and within CONUS.

I used U-ship on three different occasions to transport two cars and some antique furniture. All three episodes were outstanding. Of course, since these are independent contractors, you deal with a different carrier each time. Have to be mindful of insurance, feedback, years of service, etc. before making your choice. Maybe I'm just lucky, but personally I'm 100% satisfied with the service and price.

I posted my personal experience in Post #7. Based upon my experience, I wouldn't waste time even calling anyone else.

You may use services of we will transport it. Few days ago, my friend used their services to transport his car. Some of the most common types of service are door-to-door car transport, terminal-to-terminal transport, special car mover, delivery to a specified location, storage needs, and tracking your vehicle. The transport rates are based on the weight of the shipment.

Plenty of good options listed here already, but I'd add a1 auto transport as far as enclosed & door to door. I shipped with them last year (to CA from FL) and I'd use them again. Not sure how they compare to the others costwise, but they were all about the same when I checked prices.
