Anyone know a good car shipping company from NJ to CALI

td0g03 · 11-26-2012, 03:15 PM

Hi,

I'm thinking of purchasing a car from NY, and was wondering if anyone know a reliable shipping company.

Thanks!

I used Nationwide Transport Services to ship my car from LA to NY and they were decent - had good reviews, car came on time with no extra miles on the odometer and no damage of any kind that I could notice. They were also one of the cheaper companies I spoke with. I didn't do enclosed transport which you might want though, I just covered my car with 3M tape. Props for moving to cali, I can't wait to move back.

pm 1cleanM3 he may be able to get you set up with a great deal

Hothonda · 11-26-2012, 07:39 PM

Intercity Lines....tell them you are 6 speed.com member (doesn't matter they don't check) & they have a special rate.

Had a quote last month for a friend from MD to WA $1750 + - enclosed. I think to CA it's cheaper, because they have more runs.

I will second the recommendation for Intercity Lines and the 6speed online discount. I just moved from CT to the Atlanta area last week and used Intercity to ship my M3. The car arrived in three days and in perfect condition.

Thanks everyone. I checked out intercity, and they were asking for $1990. I'll PM 1cleanM3 , and see what he can do.

I shipped my M cross country from Washington state to NJ using uShip; they had a bunch of bids for me from both smaller companies and larger brokers.

I ended up paying slightly extra (+100 bucks, if I remember correctly) to place my car on the top of the carrier. Bids were between $1110 to $1200 all told, across about 15 different bids.

Going for a fully enclosed will set you back a bit more, but I had a great experience with the guys who picked up and dropped off my car.

slalomfever · 11-27-2012, 05:06 PM

try PLYCON or Horseless Carriage

shovelhead · 11-28-2012, 05:44 PM

I can help with shipping if you'd like. I been working in the business for a few years now.

I used Intercity a few weeks ago to ship my 67 Corvette from CA to NJ. Highly recommend!

THE TECH · 11-29-2012, 09:05 AM

I am using Reliable Carriers next week. They do the cars for Mecum, RM Auctions and Barrett Jackson.

Another recommendation for Intercity. Did a great job shipping from FL to NY.

ixm3 · 12-03-2012, 08:53 PM

Can't go wrong wth Intercity, sometimes you can get an incredible deal from them.

I recently used GT Transport from TX to PA for enclosed transport, great price, great service. gt-ms.com/

Reliable just came yesterday to take one of my cars. I got to drive it onboard. It left sitting directly behind a GT40. Driver was super nice, professional and knowledgeable.

knolow · 12-04-2012, 03:06 PM

I had a similar experience with reliable, very good company.

And please get enclosed if you're considering open. Nothing like finding your car full of debris and bird crap after a long trip.

Reliable does online quotes.

One car cost me $1500 from CA to the Midwest.

WangTa · 07-11-2014, 08:57 AM

Found this thread as I'm moving from Baltimore to San Fran/Bay Area next month.

I have an auction going on Uship.com. Also have quote requests in to Intercity. Just got a quote from Reliable for $2,363! WTF! That's way over what I was expecting?

I know you can get a deal through BMWCCA

John Tanglewood · 07-11-2014, 09:47 AM

Gran Turismo Motorsports. They shipped my R8 from Houston to NYC for under $1100. 2 Russian guys, very nice and helpful, no damage at ALL. Will use them every time.

Ask for KEN at http://gt-ms.com/

FYI - The guys are more or less independent contractors, so their price is usually a couple hundred under what Ken will ask for....so definitely try to negotiate. Many companies are like this.
