Looking for a car hauler review? Here's one

So I'm having some work done by Tracy at RX down in Florida and I had my car transported there. This is the first time I've ever had a car transported by trailer before and wasn't sure how it would turn out. I found a site where you enter in your departing location and arrival location and they give that information to a few different companies, some are just brokers while others are also the haulers. They e-mail you within 24 hours with their quotes.

I had requested quotes for both covered and non covered transportation, the non covered trailers ranged from about $450-600 while the covered transportation ranged from $750-1400. I went with Superior Transportation Inc. once I confirmed that I would use them, they found a covered trailer for $800 from Best Auto Movers. I looked up reviews about Best Auto Movers, and there were only a couple, and they were all over the place, some were terrible reviews while others were pretty good. Obviously this made me a little nervous....

My car just arrived in Florida (picked up Tuesday, and today is Thursday), I was surprised at how quick they were. Additionally the two guys that were transporting my car (along with others) were extremely nice, and knew what they were doing. They took amazing care of all the cars as far as I could tell. They had to take some of the cars out to put mine in and boy was I surprised at what was inside. They had a Shelby Cobra that just came from Hennessey and got the HPE 650 love, there was a Ferrari F430 and a McLaren MP4!!!

Anyways I just wanted to give a review about this company, it seems like it is really just a crap shoot about who you get. I was lucky enough to get some great guys.

Here's some pics

Wonder if they were all going to the same owner? LOL.

Nice review though.
