i have shipped over 20 of my personal cars. i will always pay more for enclosed. Too many things can happen with open car haulers and when it comes down to them paying for damage. its a nightmare. I been there and thats why I will never do it again!

no prob man, yeah when you start pricing auto shippers, some of them will give you really low quotes, so you pay your broker fee up front, then what happens is when they post your listing to the truck drivers none of them want to take the job because it doesn't pay enough..

Magic Carpet is pretty competitive on pricing, probably not the lowest quote you will get but definetly resonable, and they will get your car picked up, i think one took 2 days, and the other one took 3 days to get picked up..


I agree, enclosed is the way to go for sure, I just couldn't justify the cost at the time, it was more then double what i was quoted for a open transport, which i know sometimes it's worth the extra cash, but i wasn't transporting a LAMBO lol

I've used DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers) three times now. I will always use them. This is the company Ebay Motors recommends as wel. The best part is that you can track the car online 24/7.
