Hey so, I'm getting the run around from the car shipping company the dealership recommended. Any one know a great quick reliable service that operates in New York State?

Thanks, but Actually none of those companies on the other thread seem to work or have availability in the my area… any other ideas?

I've got a car in transit right now with montway. But they're just a broker that hires out to complete the work. It's been convenient so far, but I'll let you know how it ends.

+1 for Montway, they did a great job for me last year shipping my F80 enclosed.

Mine was dropped off last night around 9:30p. I can't complain about the actual transport service, however there was a mix-up on which driver was assigned my load. (Montway gives you the cell number of the driver). So there was a little bit of confusion when I called the driver I thought was hauling my car and he had no clue what I was talking about. After calling central dispatch everything was figured out.

As for time frames, I posted my preferred pickup date of 12/30/21 on 12/28. Driver was dispatched 1/3 was picked up 1/4 in Alabama, delivered to NY 1/5. It was pretty fast if I'm honest. I went with an enclosed hauler, it ended up being two guys with a Cummins and a single car hauler.

Check RunBuggy. They are like the Uber of auto shipping and can do everything from open carrier to white glove delivery.

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience shipping vehicles. However, my good friend is President of RunBuggy and we talk frequently about what they are doing. I've referred a few people from here to them and I don't recall any negative experiences.

I do know that they are a full service provider (licensed, insured, etc) as well as have live agents to speak with when needed.

Email sales@runbuggy.com and they can get you situated with answers to questions that you might have.

I'd do closed carry, I had my M4 transported via open carry and it got a ton of chips and slight damages that weren't there before.

Yeah, all the places were telling me not to bother with a Closed carrier but I've come to the same conclusion that I need it…. Who did you use may I ask?
