Enclosed trailer transport

Does anyone have a good recommendation for enclosed trailer transport from CT to FL? Looking to ship my 850i convertible down in next 3-4 weeks.

I've used Montway successfully. They offer both enclosed and open. They'll also aggressively compete on price if that's a factor.

Note that I haven't shipped that many cars since I typically drive them back myself so I don't have a lot of competitive data on which to base a strong recommendation. FYI

Yeah, looks like a bit under $1200 to transport. I'm almost 99% positive these are the guys I used to transport my SUV a while back.

Thank you all. I asked my auto broker to step in and help me quote. Getting enclosed quotes at $900 door to door.

Nice, let us know which one you used and how it works out when it's done.

There is also these guys, but I think you probably got it covered.

Location in a multi car trailer is important. I'm in FL and I've had good experience cross country with both Horseless Carriage and Dealers Choice (you can dicker with them).

I used Montway from Bend Oregon to Hilo HI.
Their service was fine.
