I'm going through the same issue right now. I need to ship my car from Norm Baker in LV to Westchester County, NY.

I would like to go with someone like Intercity who a couple of you have recommended, but they seem to be pricey at $1975. I also called MinuteMan (http://www.minutemantrans.com/contact.html) and they gave me the same price (looks like the same type of truck...can get really low cars on).

But then I got quotes from places like A2B (http://www.a2btransporting.com/index.htm) for $1590 enclosed. Maybe the trucks aren't as high quality?

I'm not sure if it is worth saving $400 and going with someone that hasn't been recommended to me, over a place that has.

thoughts? I know my gut says to suck it up and go with the reputable place for the price difference.

Do you think they would maybe negotiate?
