Car Shipping/Transport Service
Looking to get a BMW from across the US. Anyone can recommend a company that they've worked with that is priced right and trustworthy?
Thx.

Unfortunately the answer will be Google it or one of the big broker companies which is Russian roulette on what actual shipping company you get... asked the same thing myself

Moved my 335i from Cali to PA in an enclosed semi. Awesome service, no damage, excellent skilled driver, ramps and tie downs. Cost $1500. Other big carriers like Reliable wanted $3500. gl |

If the car didn't have low miles (which is how I wanted it), I would absolutely do it...even if it would take a whole week. But 2,800 miles is what I'd likely put on this car in 3 years Yeah, I did a Shiply quote and just got hounded with calls. Can't tell who's good and who's not.

Reliable is the best in the business. They do work for the car companies. Not sure a garden variety daily driver fits their target market but an email/phone call doesn't cost anything.
https://reliablecarriers.com/ Reliable is trustworthy, their reputation is well known and good. |

I have used, https://intercitylines.com/ Not the cheapest but fantastic service. Diesel is double what we were paying for last year so rates are only going to get higher. There is going to be a shortage of driver soon to when bankruptcies start happening as drivers can no longer afford fuel and make their truck payments.
CSX maybe have it put on a railcar? |

I recently used Bring a Trailer shipping and was satisfied w/ both price and service. You don't have to purchase a car on/from Bring a Trailer to use them (I didn't).

Ended up going with Diesel Auto Express (dieselautoexpress.com) and I'm pretty impressed with their service. Car picked up at 8am just 1 day after requested date and even delivered 1 day earlier. Driver was awesome to work with and kept me informed the whole way. Needless to say, car arrived in perfect condition with not a single issue. There was a Maserati behind mine and that's a newish Panamera in the front - so made me feel even better he was carrying some nice cars alongside my Z4.
This was at delivery yesterday.

Hey! I recently had to ship a new car I bought last month and totally get the worry about finding a reliable service. After a lot of research and comparing quotes, I ended up going with a company that turned out to be efficient and didn't break the bank. It's definitely key to choose someone who is transparent about their pricing and provides good insurance coverage, just for peace of mind.
A friend who frequently ships cars actually pointed me towards this useful list of the best auto transport companies: https://www.a1autotransport.com/best-auto-transport-companies/ . It helped me a lot in making an informed decision. Checking out a verified list can really reduce the risk of surprises, and it’s crucial because it ensures that the company meets industry standards and has proper credentials. Hope this helps!
