If you do decide to go with a transport company, ask them a few questions:

- Will they broker the transport of your car to another company? (getting an additional party involved can complicate things....and some companies that represent themselves as transport companies are exclusively brokerages!)

- How many times will they off-load and re-load your car between your old house and TV? (every time someone moves your car, there's potential for problems)

- How tightly will they guarantee a pick-up date/time and a delivery date/time?

- Will they deliver the car to your door in TV? (some transport companies will want to specify a non-residential drop-off point)

Read and understand the contract presented to you.

linandvin mentioned Exotic and Horseless Carriage - both very good companies with excellent reputations. Reliable Carriers and Passport Transport are also good.

Here's a source for some other transport companies:

Hope all that helps!
