Does anyone know of a good transportation company to bring two cars from Vancouver?

I need to bring my LS/VTEC DA Integra and MA70 Supra from Vancouver here to Calgary.

The Integra runs, but the Supra does not.

I've called Sea-Rail, they want $420 for the Integra, but they cannot bring the Supra.

I've used Sea-Rail and Hansen's before, but was not thoroughly impressed.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

There are smaller operators out there for these short runs, dually truck with a 2-3 car flatdeck trailer. I just don't have access to my business cards ATM, know ppl near central Alberta that does this.

Thanks! I might buy another car there to fill that 3rd spot if it's worth it!

Let me know!

I meant, I won't have access to my contacts for at least 2 weeks... Sorry. But the guy is pretty dependable (tow truck driver who lives on an acerage, met him when I worked out of town in the area)

I know that "Allied Transportation services" ships tons of the cars coming in off the boats here in Vancouver. Because of the volume of cars they ship across the country, it may be worth while to see if you can fit a couple cars on a carrier to get a full load worth, in which case it would be cheap. Might be worth checking out.

TFX transport. End of discussion. I have used them countless times and not once had a problem. I even use them to ship my Lamborghini to and from the dealer every winter.

Thanks. I'll give that guy a call again tomorrow. May have been off due to the holidays.

Thanks guys, I'll get a quote from them.

I'm not sure if it's a viable option to use them.

The service on your lambo is probably worth more than both cars combined!

Any other suggestions?
