Don't do uhaul. I used the uhaul auto transport and had to use TONS of 4x4 to elavate the ramps and SOME to elavate the car WHILE on the ramps thselves just to clear the flatbed. Then I had to remove the front bumper so that the car could actually roll all the way foward so that the front wheels landed in their locked positions. I even had to use personal straps because the ones provided wouldnt wrap around the tires completely. It was a horrifing experience. LMAO! Ask me how much I payed for a 900 mile transport. 60 bones. Oh yeah.

I wouldn't do the uhaul thing. I have my stuff listed on uship and one of the carriers ask if it would fit on a uhaul trailer.

When I use to be in the military, years ago, I used DAS three times. All three times they fuct up/damage something. In my cases I found dents on the doors, cracked front and rear bumpers, food crumbs in the interior, etc. I didn't have the $$$$ at the time to hire a good car courier nor hire a lawyer to recoup damages. DAS sux.

If you guys need a good transport company, I have the phone number of they guy who delivered my vehicle and he was absolutely professional through the whole trip. I paid $800 total for the broker and driver fees.

i've used cascade 3 times. ct to fl, fl to ct then ct to ca. no problems. you will find that whoever you talk to initially wether it's cascade or anyone else isn't the actual company doing the transporting. i guess there's a big board of all moves needed and differnet companies bid on it. companies don't want to go from maine to florida then back to ny to pick up a car being delivered to oregon. they want to deliver the most cars efficiently. prices will change depending on demand to. do a search and compare different companies ratings and reviews. i did and decided to go with cascade who my neighbor also used with no problems either. you'll have one guy at cascade set everything up after he talks to the drivers and then when the time gets close the driver calls you to make arraingments. price was comparable to other open cariage vehicles. if you want enclosed transport then you will pay much more. good luck.
