    Seems like everyone has a favorite. Here's mine. Exotic out of Orlando, FL. I believe it is a woman owned business. I was pleased with the service and the price was very competitive. I used them last November from Georgia to Maine. As I recall it was around $1200. Federal Express was much more.

    I second Exotic Car Transport in Orlando. I've used them 3 or more times and was very pleased with the level of service.

    They are located about a mile and a half from my house so if you have any problems we can send the dogs. They have some nice rigs but I tried to ship a 57 Chevy truck from San Fran to Orlando and they were over a grand more than everyone else. I thought I'd get a discount since we were practically neighbors. The lady that I talked to was very nice.

    if you search this thread or pelican thread you will find thousands of posts regarding this subject. service comes down to the particular driver you get on the run not so much the line. big question is open vs enclosed. even if enclosed are you top or bottom and if bottom below what? also how many times will your car come in and out of the trailer? lots to ask the driver when he comes to collect. good luck. dont forget these early long hoods are to be driven so why not enjoy a nice cross country journey
