When i did some quotes for enclosed delivery the price was around $1000 and that included everything, the car to your door. I don't know of any specific shipping companies but if you go to a high end car dealer, say mb, bmw, audi, lexus, lambo, ferrari maybe they can give you some information on the companies they use.

I shipped an S2000 last month. It was sent from Florida to New Jersey and cost me $500. I sent it by way of those big open air 6 car transporters and that was a huge mistake. Car arrived with a dent on the bottom of the front bumper and chipped paint, I learned my lesson, I'll never ship a lowered car again, and if I do, it would be by an enclosed car hauler only. The S2000 was lowered about 1.5 inches.

Don't cheap out on shipping the car, go with an enclosed car hauler.

Tips if you do decide to go the cheaper, open air type transport truck route:
-Wrap your exhaust tips with something so that when they scrape the ground when driving up the transport trucks ramp they wont get all scratched.

-Raise the car to 4x4 status, the higher the better, trust me.

-Protect your front bumper some how, layers of tape maybe?

I would just use an enclosed transporter less hassle, much more safe. Make sure you go over the car with them and find all existing scratch or damages take pictures and do what you can to protect yourself. That way if there is extra damages they will have to fix it.

Checkout Fedex auto shipping, they will probably be the cheapest. Not the best, the cheapest.

I prefer non stacked vehicle transport, not the cheapest, but your vehicle has less exposure to possible damage.
