I shipped my Impala SS from Florida to NY with these guys in an enclosed trailer. It took a week and cost 700 dollars.

Now that you mention it, all the cars I have seen them transporting looked like a $3K fee was probably peanuts for their owners . . .

They DO take great care with them. The SS was so large that I almost had a heart attack as it was taken from the top level of the trailer, but it came down without a scratch. The car only had 14K on it so I went the extra few bucks for a closed trailer. Ithink it would have been under $500 for an open trailer.

Three words: Dependable Auto Transport (DAS)
http://www.dasautoshippers.com/ I've used them a few times. No problems, great service and competitive pricing.

I think thats where I'm going, at least they will not make a spectacular promise they said "more than likely" on my time frame but "things happen" which is an acceptable answer.
