Auto transport companies

I need to have my car transported from the Villages to Pennsylvania and have never done anything like this. Any suggestions about company, what I should be aware of. Please help.

If you do not mind a little driving, we used the AutoTrain to transport 4 or 5 vehicles from PA to FL, worked great, and saved a lot of money. I think this service is still running. We tried to use auto transports but always ended up with a middle man. Hopefully others will provide info on firms where you actually deal with the driver.
Also, this has been discussed several times, so try a search of this site.

My mom had her car(2011 Caddy) transported back and forth from Ohio several times. If I recall it was about $700 bucks. She has passed, so I can't ask her who she used. I do know it was a larger company that contracted haulers.

The last time she had her car hauled north, she was explaining where she lived to the guy and he said, yeah, I got it when she mentioned her house. He started describing her house to her. Turns out he lived about a mile away and knew the area very well. Upon more information, this is what a lot of those companies do. They find someone who lives in your region and contract them to collect cars as local as possible and haul them all to the same area.

The point was, you tell them when you'd like to get the car there, when you can let it go and they will fit it into their schedule. The more flexible you are on schedule, the cheaper the price will be.

I have used the auto train in the past but not comfortable at this time with that option. That’s why I was interested in reputable car transporters. But thank you

We checked out the auto train but the no dog thing was a non-starter for us.

That is understandable. No doggy bathrooms and the train doesn't stop for 15 plus hours. You can bring your own booze and get two good meals.

J.P Auto Transport just took a neighbor’s car up to Virginia. I think they travel all over. Their address is in Philadelphia. 267-476-0009.
