Default Auto Transport

Has anyone had a car delivered to or picked up in The Villages to be taken up north?

This post is from January but was never answered. Now, I would like to know the same thing. Can anyone recommend a car transport company? Thank you.

Out of the 8 companies I spoke with only one didn't make me feel uncomfortable about giving them my keys and car. ( one company I contacted twice never responded which was iceman). Monarch was the company we will use to ship our car. Might be on this sight. The owner was prompt gave a quote, and did not change the amount from one day to the next like other companies.

5 company's actually called or emailed on a daily basis that they we on their way to pick up the car NOW. Each company was given the exact date 7 weeks in advance and was actually rude and threatening would change the price each email or phone call. Since we were not leaving until then no one would be there to except. Their answer was were are picking up now and drop it off in your driveway in TV and have a neighbor accept the delivery. Really. As I said no warm and fuzzy feelings giving them my car and keys.

Monarch's date and price stayed the same, pleasant and helpful. Not worried about giving them our car. From Michigan to TV our cost is about $645

In may of 2015 I had a good experience getting my car shipped from T.V. to Dartmouth Ma.
I met driver behind Publix on Saturday. He took photos as did I, and put my car on hauler with about five others. He was going to Miami and thought he would have the car in Ma. by Wed. It was delivered (Thursday) to a family member in Dartmouth Ma.

The price was less than $700. and there was no middle man (broker) involved. Driver kept me in the loop through out with text messages.

Thank you for your answers. We have never shipped a car before.
