what's the best company to get quote to ship car cross country?
We're planning a move from West Palm Beach Florida to Manchester New Hampshire. The issue I'm seeing is that the quotes tend to vary and in some cases they just seem a little too cheap OR the first quote I got was just too high.
For reference, we have 2 cars but I've only got quotes on 1 for now.
I'm looking to move it in September, so it's not a rush at all, I want to find the right deal
Hyundia Sante Fe 2023.
These are the quotes I got for open shipping (when the car sits on a truck without cover essentially so it's supposed to be cheaper I believe):
Montway: $1269
Sherpa: $1700
Nexus: $1235
Ship Your Car Now: $2413
To be honest I was recommended ship your car now by a friend and that was my first quote. Now I'm looking at these other quotes and I'm not sure what to make of it. I called back and the guys at ship your car said that these other companies will do like a bait and switch and quote lower and then increase the price later after they collect a deposit which essentially covers their fee anyways.
Does anyone have any experience with these companies and have any clue if this is true? The $2400 quote was more what I was expecting but I don't want to be taken for a ride either (pun intended).
