Anybody have a recommendation on a credible car transport company?
I want to ship my car from Pitt KS to Afton MN.

DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers). I've used them a number of times. They run their own fleet with tracking available on their web-site with your vehicles location.

I used Passport Transport. Good service, you can track the car movements, nice drivers.

Remember this: After contacting 4 different places, the prices where all within $150 bucks of each other.
YOUR car will not be the only one they are delivering. So, if they need to go 400 miles out of the way to deliver another car, they are going to do it. Don't make a big deal out of it.
And, because some asses have made a big deal out of that, they will over estimate your car's time of arrival. They told me "within two weeks" It showed up in 3 days. NICE! But, there might have been other pick ups and deliveries that would of delayed my delivery. Maybe their truck needed some repairs. It's the unknown that the asses get all bent over that they can not control. What's the big deal?
Non-running cars, no brake cars cost more to ship. They have to use winches, chocks, just more trouble - YOU pay for that.
Some shipping companies do not get back to you, sorry for them.
It's cheaper if the car rack they use is open, but, do you want to use them if your car has a trunk and interior full of NOS parts? Usually a little more for enclosed shipping.
Hope this helps everyone.

Reliable Carriers - enclosed transport. I have used them more than once. You can get a quote on their website. DAS is fine for open transport. Used them in the past but not recently as I have opted for enclosed transport.

Used DAS 5 times, Texas to Wisconsin for our "new" drivers.

I also used Passport Transport. Friendly. Their tracking didn't work, and they were 2 weeks late in picking up my car, but it arrived in tact and in good shape. Fair priced too.

+1 for DAS. Price was OK. Cars aren't covered. If yours gets put on the bottom expect to have oil drip on it. For me, it wasn't an issue (mine was the one doing the dripping anyway).

Triple A ....you get 250 miles for being a Premier member. I paid some extra money for the rest of the miles.

AAA, never would have thought about this. Do you know if they have covered transport? Thanks for all the info.

I used Demoise Trucking to have my Mach delivered. Excellent service, enclosed truck, and clear communication with the driver the entire way.

HA HA!

GREAT looking car, if I do say so myself.

I used DAS. I was in no hurry and didn't care if my car was inside/outside/top/bottom. Price was a little bit lower than a couple of others that I checked. This was back in about '04.

Good Luck!
