Remember...even with enclosed service, your car will be loaded on a flatbed to get to a terminal unless you drop it off yourself. I had a shipper's car hail damaged while it was sitting on a terminal lot waiting for a transport truck.
No matter how great the transport company is, stuff happens. I work for a company and I ship about 600 cars a year. I have seen it all!
As I personally shopped around, I got quotes from $1,100 to $1,800. I ended up going with Todd's recommendation, reviews/ratings of the shipping company, pick up day, delivery time, and type of trailer.
got an "automated' quote from them for $1200. even though my mileage is less than half of yours. i'll call them tomorrow and speak to 'todd'. glad i found this thread. i've fretted this situation for the longest...
