I have shipped quite a few cars across the country in the past...
I haven't had any problems with the cars being physically damaged or anything. I usually go with the cheapest shipping company I can find btw so I'm not spending a ton of money and they still end up okay.
Have had a few problems with shippers trying to charge extra because the car was low, etc. but not actual damage to the cars. Good luck! I'm sure it will be okay!

Shipped my car from Chicago to Denver a few years ago on an open trailer with no problems
I might have been a little more concerned if it was a F-car, but in the end most people just see it as an A4, so its no big deal to them....

I bought my S4 sight unseen from NH, had it shipped to Denver on an open carrier in the winter, and
it arrived in immaculate condition. You'll be fine. Just make sure that whatever carrier you go through has insurance.

IMO there's no one better than Angels Moving Autos.
They almost always have the best price and their customer service is unmatched. Also they are top rated on transportreviews.com. They picked my S4 up from denver 15 hours after I made the initial call.
