Use Horseless Carriage and AVOID any Vegas based transporters

Horseless Carriage=2 thumbs up. Shipped 2 cars with it in the last 6 months and one 15 months ago.

Default Yep. Horseless Carriage is the best. They do all the shipping for our local Ferrari, Aston, Lambo

dealer.

I have shipped two cars with them and two with other companies. None compare.

Avoid Triple A or "AAA" out of vegas like the plague.

Default Intercity Lines is very good. All enclosed, purpose-built trailers.

I've used Horseless Carriage and Intercity. I went back to Intercity. Either is good.

Default I used them from New York to CA. Do not pay extra for a covered carrier

They will try to get you to pay extra for a covered carrier. Most independant drivers have covered carriers anyway.

Check with your insurance. Most will cover anything (bird through window).

It will save you 300-500 dollars.

Default What about when he goes through that hail storm in Kansas and his car is ruined

I recommend covered carriers for all my trailer needs. Yes, I know someone that got their car ruined by hail..because they wanted to cut corners and save a few bucks. It was a brand new car with only 8 miles on it.
