I need to hire a mover to bring my ’66 Chevelle across the country. Has anybody had their car shipped? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

  1. I know this isn’t helpful or anything but…If I had the time, I’d drive that cross country for you for the price of gas. And I’d treat it better than most people treat their kids.

    That is a gorgeous machine. Truly.

  2. Here’s who Steve at Vault Cars has used. He ALWAYS uses enclosed carriers (as do I) and has had some bad experiences with any open trailer carriers…

    Horseless Carriage 800-631-7796

    Reliable 800-521-6393 or 800-528-5709

    Intercity lines 800-221-3936

    I know Horseless Carriage has been around for decades.

  3. you could also call a moving company (like an Allied or United) who they refer customers to – normally movers won’t transport cars but they always work with a company they trust…

  4. Dave,

    If you can dig up the info on the carrier that would be great. On Craigslist a large heading reads that all car transport ads are scams, so as I peruse the internet for carriers, I now see the outfits are mostly brokers and a lot of fees can get tacked on. Some of them do look like they could be Paypal scams also.

    (I did check out Fedex and it was like $3000. Too much.)

    Thanks all!

  5. I had a 68 Olds 442 shipped from Southern California a few years ago. I believe it was about $1,400. Let me know if you’re interested in that and I can find out who shipped it.

    There are many auto transport companies that ship multiple cars at once all around the country. I believe Passport Transport is one of the largest. If you can find a copy of Hemmings Motor News (brown paper cover) on a good newstand, it will list all of them.
