I want to ship my Alfa from Las Vegas to NY. I have never shipped a car before. I am actually getting reasonable quotes ($1,500) And just a little bit more for enclosed shipping ($1,900). My concerns are:
One shipper said you pay 1/2 with a credit card and 1/2 in cash to the driver upon arrival. Is this a real practise? This sounds like there might be an opportunity for extortion. Another shipper said just pay us 100% with a credit card. When I asked the shippers about insurance they claimed that all of their enclosed shippers have insurance and if there is damage, that I do not pay anything - as it is the shipper’s problem.
If you have any advice I will gladly take it. For the “use the search function” police out there, I did. And it resulted in a lot of out of date information.
Thank You!

Why don't you drive that car from LV to NYC?

That's weird that you cannot pay everything by credit card or cash

There are a few nationally known shippers with proven track records. I'm sorry, I haven't dug into it enough to make a recommendation, but see if you can get some from the classic car auctions - I'm sure they have some known good shippers. Meekum, McLoud, Barrett-Jackson, etc.
