Auto transport
Can anyone recommend an auto transporter? I need to get my sedan from Tuftonboro to Naples, FL. I have had two less than spectacular experiences, and was hoping to avoid another. I would like the car put on a carrier, not driven. Thanks in advance.

I use Dependable Auto Shipper,they do door to door or you can pick up and drop off at a terminal. They have open and enclosed capabilities.

Enclosed or open? Enclosed, Intercity Lines, hands down. DAS, farms out to other companies, have done business with them, and they have good rates, I personally haven't had any issues. Sometimes a local company like Gulbickis at the Weirs takes cars down to FL for people, usually one on the truck and one in the trailer behind, has to be a full load for it to be worth his while. Hope this info helps.

Use to put cars on a flatbed and haul them to FL while you ride in luxury in one of the passenger cars. It's been a decade since I did this not sure if they do this any more.

Had my 2008 Jeep shipped north this year for the first time as my car here at the lake went. Had to wait five weeks and this was only to have it shipped from Naples to the Boston area. How much is it to ship a car from here? The company I used had their own trucks and usually makes trips from the midwest to FL I was told. I am not sure that I would use a company that did not have their own trucks and drivers. Does anyone happen to know how one can dispose of a 99 Jeep Grande Cherokee with 52,000 miles and one year old Michelin tires etc but needs a new transmission and some other things? Not a mark on the car. Have to be in Naples September to mid October and then fly north for HS reunion and then back to Naples. Am finishing a remodel and noise things have to be done May 1 to Nov 1. |

We have used AAA auto carrier based in West Palm Beach for seven years both ways Miami area to the Lake. They have been very reliable and never had a problem. We usually take the car to and pickup from Epsom which is a little east of Concord which saves money but they will do door to door. If you want more info don't hesitate to PM me. Their phone in WPB is 561 688-9858

Could be they would buy your Jeep for 500, and try to sell it for 5000, after making repairs like installing a junkyard transmission.

Will let you know what this place says. If any one else knows any way one gets rid of a car will you let me know although I don't want to hijack the thread. It would be a great car for someone who knows how to work on the motor things as the body etc is in wonderful shape. |

In-Laws
Hi there! My in-laws do things like this. They run a small "do it all" company, and they've driven cars to Florida for people before. They are very reasonable and flexible. PM me if you'd like more information!
