Dr. Pomade Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) I need to have a car shipped from Arizona to here. I'm going to used enclosed transport. (I don't want the car exposed to the elements as it travels here.) I've searched a number of threads on here and found some recommendations. Here's who I've contacted thus car and what they've quoted me: Horseless Carriage - $1850 Intercity Lines - $1650 Dependable Auto Shippers - $1328 PlyCar - $1600 Edge Transportation - $1475 Pilot Transport - $1385 Any others I should consider? Any other thoughts on this? Edited February 14, 2012 by Dr. Pomade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmrmnhrm Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Even after paying for gas and a hotel or two, I suspect you could do it cheaper just flying out there and driving back yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Even after paying for gas and a hotel or two, I suspect you could do it cheaper just flying out there and driving back yourself. If it was nicer weather, I would definitely consider it, and likely do it. But, I don't want to drive the car in shitty weather and have it exposed to snow, salt on the roads, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Try Pilot Transport. This is the company that Honda uses; I had them transport the '8 Z06 I bought in New Hampshire to Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaewsky1 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Try that shipping website from the tv show on A&E Shipping Wars where the independant truckers bid to ship your stuff. I think its uship.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Try Pilot Transport. This is the company that Honda uses; I had them transport the '8 Z06 I bought in New Hampshire to Ohio. Just called them. They quoted me $1385, but they said they are 2-3 weeks out on service time. I don't think I want to wait that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I will let you guess. I doubt it will take very long to figure it out. Yikes. Either 911, or GT-R. .....aaaaand let the 11-page knut-swanging begin. Congrats either way, brojangles! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 C6Z06 or 997TT. But I am willing to bet the first. Of those two, you'd be right, but it's neither. Think much less exotic and much less fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'm not surprised. Honda keeps Pilot very busy; they are also "trained" to handle fragile show cars and prototypes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
