I looked into this option and decided to drive it myself. It appears that the typical auto transport "company" works this way:
The "Company" is just a broker.
The price quoted is just an "estimate"
The person who does the hauling is an independent contractor.
Once they pick up the vehicle and get it within a day of you, you will get a call with the higher price....."We had some unexpected problems picking it up" or some other add-on cost. "Cash only"
"If you don't want to pay the new cost we will have to put it in storage at xxx dollars a day....it's your choice bud"
