Enclosed will always be more than open, and that should be your first consideration. There are plenty of brokers that have people running around with pick up trucks and trailers. That’ll do it for a lower price reliable will probably be on the high side, but it will be enclosed in trucks that are built to move cars, and vehicles.

She is my broker and does a fantastic job for me. She can set you up with enclosed or open, small trailer or large.

What you are shipping and open or enclosed makes a big price difference. Typically the pickup and delivery schedules mimic the cable company coming to fix your service.

Ask question!Make sure if double decker that the upper has full pans.Dont cheap out.I did on my first move and it cost me a paint job on a 69 T/A.The broker,truck owner and driver just wore me out on who if anyone was going to cover it.Brake fluid did a job on the paint.Have had good luck with Reliable.Tom

Stay away from United Road or Dash Delivery dispatch! Knuckleheads screwed up my '97 SS Camaro by letting a strap flap in the wind and damage the paint on a one-way from NC to TX. Also I had a sheen of transmission fluid covering my wife's entire CTS-Vsport. They wouldn't stand behind their assured guarantee.

I realize not everyone has the ability to do this, but renting an enclosed trailer and moving the vehicle yourself could be an option.
