So I have finally decided on the Viper I am going to get and I now need to figure out how I am going to ship it home. I have contacted Reliable Carries Inc for a quote, but also want to get some other quotes. Who do you recommend?

I will be shipping the car from Tomball, Texas to either Salt Lake City, Utah or Las Vegas, Nevada. Still deciding where the final destination will be.

Thank you for the help in advance. I'll post pictures once the car is officially mine.

Just make sure with any shipper if they use smaller trailers to consolidate shipments (and or small run it for you) they use has a trailer wider than 76 inches ;) They are a pain to fit on that size.

Intercity recently transported my Viper to the new owner and that seemed to go very well. The specific guy who loaded and drove the truck had years of experience with high end cars. Of course, with any big carrier, you will probably not know the experience of the specific guy you end up with.

If you can swing it, the best drive of my life was when I went to pick up my car and drove it home. Texas to Utah is a day, fly in Friday night and drive it home Saturday.

I would recommend driving it as well. It'll be well worth it for the experience.

From personal experience, I'd recommend having a covered trailer if you ship it. I had my viper shipped to me on an open trailer... The shipping company was highly recommended by the exotic dealer I bought mine from. The driver supposedly didn't know my car had a removable hard top. Some damage occurred to the top and my trunk lid and I battled with them for months to get them to pay for the damage and they never would.

It costs extra, but go with a covered trailer
