Default I used DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers) to get my Boxster S from NC to UT. Great service & price!

Default my guys was fast but he was a privateer, just getting jobs from whatever broker. I don't have much

input other then read all the fine print and make sure you know exactly how much it's going to cost before the car is picked up

they tried to charge me a fuel surcharge when it arrived

Default Mine took about 9 days & was quoted 13 IIRC. I think a lot depends on where

they have trucks, getting a full load etc.

Default if i had to do it again, id go with the cheapest i could find.

then id go to local pepboys like store, get a car cover, cut window holes and slice it so the drivers door can be opened, then tape as necessary. i beleve a covered carrier will provide very little more protection than a car cover.

Yeah, that was my holdup. It sat in Houston for 1 week waiting for more cars to ride up.

The fuel surcharge is basically standard now on any over-the-road hauls.
