"Transported my car from Seattle to Scottsdale. Good communication and car arrived with no issues. Only thing negative was that car wasn't picked up when I requested (a day later) and car arrived a day later than anticipated, but I was flexible so it was not a problem for me."

Open or Enclosed Transport for Idaho to Washington?
Open car transport is the standard choice for most shipments and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip — the same way dealers move new inventory. See open auto transport for details.
Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.
Expedited shipping is also available when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle there faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from military relocations to students starting a new semester.

Prep and empty the vehicle
Wash the car, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, and remove personal items. Anything left inside is not protected against loss or damage in transit.
Inspect at pickup and delivery
Walk around the vehicle with the driver at both ends, photograph its condition, and note anything new on the Bill of Lading before signing.

Great experience in having a vehicle I bought in Idaho transported to Arizona. The only negative would be that the subcontractor didn’t use Roadrunner’s text update system, but the driver did keep me updated when he was close to our pick-up location. I would recommend.
