Intercity lines.

I have used them twice now. Once in 2020 on my Infrared LC coupe from Vegas to Chicago. And again in 2026 from Palm Springs to Chicago on my 25 USB convertible.

Total professionals and they will note every scratch or mark on the car at pick up. That protects them and you.

If you prefer a broker that will provide lower pricing but has a great reputation in the exotic world I recommend calling Liz at Bears Transport ( (847) 810-7641)

Very large number of online reviews for them.

I have used her to ship 2 Lexuses and a Ferrari and every time has been flawless without issue and significantly less than Intercity/Reliable/etc.

Intercity isn’t a broker. They are an actual car transport service. They control their own trucks and drivers. A broker is a middleman who has nothing but a telephone and you really don’t know who will be shipping your car. A broker is there to save money and will be looking for the best price transport from many different shipping lines. If you want to save money go ahead and hire a broker. There is a reason Intercity may cost a bit more.

I was responding to Oceanp who was asking for a recommendation for a reliable shipper. I misread nothing.

Intercity looks like the best out there, they are about 1k more than the broker that the dealer claims they have used a lot ..hammertime, any experience with them?

You’ve got a few options here. Please post what your experience is with the ones we recommended.

I too will be shipping my new LC next month once it arrives.

I've used this company, and specifically this contact several times, and referred him / them to a family member just recently that used their service for a vehicle transport, and they were very happy with the price, service, and overall interaction.

I'm using the "Spoiler" function to hopefully keep the bots from scraping his info:
