Enclosed Auto Transporters?

My M5 lease is coming to an end
I came across a short term lease on an M8 Comp coupe that should hold me over until the new 2025 M5 is available. The issue is that the car is located 1300 miles away.
Has anyone had any luck with an enclosed auto transportation company? I've been doing research and a lot of these sites are just brokers that cannot give you a defenitive pick up and/or drop off date. Plus some of the reviews and ratings of these companies are trash.
I'm not looking for a "cheap" carrier. I am looking for one that will deliver door to door within a specific time period and is reputable.

I will be checking out Plycar along with a local company tomorrow but any other recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Definitely plycar. I’ve used them twice and have been very happy. Once across the country. They aren’t brokers who hand your car off to whoever is cheapest they do or all themselves. Very good company imo.

Definitely moving forward with plycar. I reached out to about 5 or 6 companies and eventhough plycar is the most expensive, they will literally pick the car up within 24 hours of me giving them the nod and gave me the best eta to receive the car. Some of the other companies couldn't even guarantee the car would be picked up within 2 weeks, crazy. And like you said, they are not brokers so they own their trucks. I'll take that all day.

Thanks for weighing in and appreciate everyone's input.

Plycar is the only transport company I will use period. The reason it have to wait two weeks from other companies is because they ate either waiting on a commitment from a carrier or they are trying to fill up the transport so it makes the trip worthwhile. Plycar has much more business and fills their trucks much faster thus no serious wait. Plus they are truly white glove service. I trust them at this point. Let us know how it goes.

Just wanted to report my experience with Plycar... They were great!
State of Florida took 3 weeks to get a paper title to BMW so iy was a long wait on that end, but that is another story
Anyway, Plycar was easy to deal with and quick to deliver the car. They gave me updates along the way and were helpful.in answering any questions. They picked up the car on Tuesday and said it would arrive on Friday but theg actually delivered it a day earlier right at my front door. The driver was awesome, super nice guy, and was careful unloading the car.
All around great experience and highly recommend them

Thank you to everyone on here for confirming to go with Plycar.

This has been my experience with them 3 times now as well. I won’t use anyone else. Glad it worked out well for you too.
