Car Transport Service

Post by Clubby Clutch »

Anyone used a quality car transport service? I need to transport a 1995 BMW M3 from Texas to KC.
Thanks

Never used a service. When I've needed to transport a car, I've done it myself. I used a one-way rental from Hertz to get there, then drive the other car back.

I would drive the car, but it's been sitting for a while so the coolant and brake fluid are not exactly safe to drive with.

Mecum Auctions partners with Reliable Carriers. Never used them, but if Mecum has continued to partner with them for years, they must make at least some of their customers happy.

Good luck -- let us know how it goes.

They were the first company I requested a quote from. The car is in Wichita Falls, TX and Reliable Carriers doesn't service this route.

Are you shopping quality or price?

Passport will transport it inside a van car carrier, so it's not exposed to weather. Spendier than an open carrier.
