Help: Who is the best Auto Shipper??

I just purchased a 2004 Mach 1, now I need to have it shipped from Wisconsin to Virginia. I've never used a Auto Shipper before and was wondering if anyone could help me with this? I hear that Reliable and DAS is proboblay the best way to go, but wanted to see if anyone here has any insight.

Now here's the catch: This is a very very low mileage Mach with no dents, scratches, or dings. So I need to have a shipper that can deliver it without any damage. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

How about Roy off the show "Shipping Wars"?? He seems to be very good at securing loads. Congrats on the purchase!!

as stupid as it sounds, I looked at Uship to ship my mach from virginia to cali and they gave me the cheapest option!

in my opinion, I'd get a closed trailer shipper, your looking at 1600-2300$ for that option but thats the only way to be sure is going to stay rock chip/scratch free.

My 2003 came from Florida brand new, via DAS enclosed trailer. If you want to go the budget route u-ship might be okay; if you want to protect the car it's not going to be cheap.

Yep, looking at around $1200 to get it to VA. Thinking about going with Reliable via enclosed shipping.
