    asking for trailering and towing advice from Cali to Florida

    hello,
    I am seeking advice for towing 3 older Porsches from California to Florida.
    because of some unexpected health surprises and other family opportunities. My family is going from California to Florida for many years.
    An enclosed trailer would be nice for at least two of the cars...very nice 911. and an unrestored 356 cabriolet.
    The other car is a long term family owned 2.0 914. That I started to take apart to refresh it.

    The cars don't need first class towing...just something that will get them there safely.

    I can start looking online for places...and expect a variety of towers. In the past I have had some real crazy towers.
    Does anyone on the forum have any places or people where I can start looking?

    other than the Porsches, I have 3 other cars to take out there as well.
    Scott

    Current long term ownership: 63 Cab, 71 911, 74 914

    I would call one of the better known companies and ask them for a package price. There’s not a lot of difference between the cheap ones where anything goes and the good ones that deliver the same car that left your driveway.
    A part isn't purchased until paid.

    So you have six cars total? If that's the case I would call one of the bigger shippers like Reliable or Intercity and see if they can give you a package price. With that many cars you should have some negotiating room.

    Intercity seems to be the shipper I see people using for transport to auctions etc.
