thanks yeah I've been looking at that site and they have a lot reviews. The thing to note though is some of the reviewers have been compensated so I've been filtering by non-compensated.

My friend once used a company that bubble wrapped the cars in the trailer, I cant remember the name.

I wouldnt cut corners on shipping. The driver has your car keys. Id want a reputable company and not just pick the lowest rate on a website of bidders.
yeah def enclosed I've actually had two other cars transported, one with intercitylines and the other was through a dealer in AZ so I'm not sure which company. Didn't have problems with either one but I am always nervous when shipping brand new cars

Right now I'm leaning towards Domestic Auto Transport and Red Carpet, both gave me quotes in the $2000-$2400 range. Another issue is the pickup time. My dealer cannot load the car onto a transport for me, I have to physically go and take delivery, put it on a transport and then fly home. The narrow pickup window has some transporters flat out telling me they cannot guarantee the pickup and so cannot accept my business. Decisions decisions...
