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!) Many, many companies are exactly that - brokerages. They own no equipment and employ no drivers. They simply make arrangements for other companies to transport your vehicle.
- 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 provide door-to-door service? (some transport companies will want to specify a non-residential pick-up and drop-off points)
Read and understand the contract presented to you and understand how problem resolution works with them.
As Mack mentioned, Reliable Carriers is an excellent company. Some other large, national carriers: Exotic (they're out of Orlando), Horseless Carriage, Passport Transport, DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers), Intercity Lines, Waggoners.....there are plenty of good ones. They will likely be the most expensive as well as most are enclosed carriers. Open carriers will be less costly. Smaller businesses that do their own work will probably be less expensive as well. Brokered jobs are most likely to be the cheapest.
