Shipping Camaro TX to FL Suggestions? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I need to ship my Camaro to FL, I went to a site where I put in the date for pick up along with the pick up location and drop off location and they e-mailed me quotes from several different carriers. This is the first time I've ever shipped a car, does anyone have any advice on carriers, good or bad? Should I look out for certain things, etc? I want to make sure I get a good deal with a reputable company.

this would be good to know. even though i'll probably drive mine, but there's a chance i ship it. or maybe tow it on the back of a uhaul on a flatbed trailer.

I believe that site is "U ship" I have used them several times over the last 15 years shipping cars from me to customers and to me on purchases.
If your Camaro is a Nice car, I would opt for a closed trailer . otherwise it will get all the road dirt. scratches, oil tar, Most of those guys are fairly decent but they are in it for the money. NOT to love your car. They have a tendency to be a bit careless.
I just cannot see a new Camaro on a carrier with a couple old wrecks and some newer dirty stuff. JMO

I second a closed trailer.

I'm getting work done on the car, so it will be in the shop for a couple of days. I'll probably drive it back though.
