Default Logistical Move Comparisons - Any Help?

We are in the process of moving our other house in the north to TV. Fortunately we have sold or are selling most items so the move will be about the equivalent of 14-16 ft rental truck. (2 bdrm apt comparison). Here is what we have found for reference purposes, and if someone knows of a less expensive option, we would welcome your input.
MOVERS: (Company - Load, Haul, Unload, Insure)
Stevens - Moved first house. Price for this move = $2245
Others were higher

RENTAL TRUCKS: (Personal - Load, Haul, Unload, Gas) 6 days allowed
1300 miles @ $3.799 avg gas prices. Excl: meals, any hotel if stay
Budget - Price = $1310 + $200 car gas
Penski - Price = $1393 + $200 car gas. Newer trucks, roadside assistance 24/7

POD MOVES: (Personal Load, Company Haul, Personal Unload) 3 days haul
U-Pack - Price = $2498 + $200 car gas
Mayflower - Price = $2755 + $200 car gas
U-haul - Price = $1826 + $200 car gas
PODS - No price, Out of Region

CAR HAULERS: (Company Pick-up at house, deliver to house)
AAA Auto Transport (recommended) - Price $995 less $200 if at site 100 miles away
Range - Price $795 - $1200

Any other suggestions?
