Topic: Intl. auto transporter
in Forum: General Non-Vette Discussion
Any recommendation for an international auto transporter ?
I am looking for : not enclosed, and NO TERMINALS .
There's literaly 1000's of brokers out there and as many transporters, but when you put "no terminals" and "canada" in the same sentence, there's probably a handfull left.
It's from Tampa to Montreal (Canada). I already have all the paperwork filled for the customs.
It's an easy move, load the car, drive, clear customs with my paperwork, drive, unload the car....
Thanks.
For my furnitures, I am using IntlMov Inc, which subs it to these guys.
I will know in a few weeks if I'm happy with them. In the meantime, they quoted me 1750 for the Vette. That is door-2-door without terminals. The prices sounds about right. I paid 700$ for Texas to FL 2 years ago, so for 3 times the distance and thinking that gas price is WAY higher than 2 years ago, I think 1750 is pretty good for international.
Several years ago a friend was moving across the country and was trying to figure how to take his Ford 8N tractor. The furniture moving company classified it as a "garden tractor" and loaded it in with the rest of the household stuff.
Maybe you could "convince" the furniture movers to classify the Vette as a "toy car"...!!!
The "kids" at the border may not see the humor in that though.

I moved last year.
I was moving from Sarasota to Montreal. Three weeks before the term, I changed the destination from Canada to... Europe.
I still took my 71' LS5 with me.
My mover was GRAEBEL (in Tampa). They did a VERY GOOD JOB. i can only comend them.

Thanks for the names.
Here's the scoop : with my new headers & chambered exhaust, the collector is now at 4" from the ground, which is not enough for open carrier, so I had to take enclosed. Now, THAT was hard to find at a decent price; international, no terminals and enclosed....
Final price : 1995$ paid in full yesterday. The cie. is A-A Auto Transport. On www.bbb.org, they have a really bad rep, but since it will be subsidized to an enclosed carrier, I trying my luck.
The car should be picked up within the next 10 days. I'll keep you guys posted.
