Would you do this? Why or why not? I just learned about this service and have mixed feelings about it

I wouldn't too many variables/risks. When I needed a car moved 1000+ miles I paid to have it transported on a truck. Probably more expensive but much safer.

Nope. Far easier/cheaper to do it yourself. Why don't you want to do it yourself?

It was several years ago I'll have to see if I can find the paperwork. I'm pretty sure I started googling for transport and then double checked with the BBB. I do know I didn't pick the cheapest but the one with the best rating. I also paid for covered transport which is more expensive than open transport because it was a pretty new luxury car. If it had been and older cheaper model I may have gone with the open transport.

I don't have enough info. How much cheaper than a typical transporter? Are they reliant on my insurance, or do they carry their own? Background check? Non-smoker? How many hours a day will they be driving? What happens if there is a mechanical breakdown? How do i know my pickup bed isn't going to be loaded with bales of weed during their trip?
