quality car shipper recommendations?

Hi fellow SC owners; I have a question to help another owner. My friend is a 70 year lady who babies her low mileage one owner 02, and, she is moving from Charlotte, NC to Los Angeles this September. She has asked if I could help her find a good shipping company for her cross country move.

I know this is a subjective topic, but, she is as particular about her car as any of us are about ours; so, I'd be very grateful for any shipping company recommendations. Most likely, she will prefer an enclosed carrier.

thank you in advance!

I've used reliable carries twice. Last was from Michigan to Texas. I didn't have any problems or complaints after either move.

Thanks for such a quick response, I will look through their website. Lots of good reviews I've seen there so far.

BTW, what part of Texas are you in? I lived and worked in Dallas for 31 years and enjoyed the state.

Thks again !

The first time I opted to use an open transport. The second time I chose to use a closed trailer. When the car came off the open trailer it was just so dirty. That's not their fault. There wasn't any damages. It just made for extra cleaning time.

Ha and LOL about Houston; I felt the same way! The Woodlands was and is a beautiful area though; and I even used to enjoy Galveston when I was younger. I always hated even a day trip to Houston for business due to the traffic, weather, etc. I swear the 'skeeters' there in the Houston area belong in a Jurassic Park movie. Give me Lake Travis area near Austin any day!
