Advice on shipping a car from IL to SC

bmw246 · 02-11-2015, 02:01 PM

Like the title says, looking for a great shipping company who has enclosed trucks to ship my 335. Price isn't a concern, just want a great, reliable company. Thanks for the advice!

I used Intercity Lines to ship my E90 from Maryland to California last summer and was very pleased. They're not the cheapest but they run a good operation and can tell you who your driver is and where your car is every step of the way. It took a few days longer for them to pick up the car than promised, but the driver made it up during the trip and delivered the car earlier than promised. Driver gave me his cell phone number so I could call him for updates. I was very pleased with their service and would use them again.

I shipped mine from AZ to SC. Don't remember the shipping company since it was part of a relocation package. But make sure the vehicle doesn't have to change trucks a lot. Mine switched between 5 or 6 trucks, and they damaged the front bumper in the process.

i forget what company i use but google something along "car shipping bid" you put a request from city to city and different shipping companies bid you a price you can choose enclosed or open. You can also read reviews of every company.
