Anyone have a connection or info for an Auto transport company that provides escrow services as well?

Trying to buy a vehicle in Virginia and have it shipped to Covington.

Thanks

Is it from a dealership? Ask them- they probably have someone they use. I had my Jeep shipped from Houston for about $400.

I’ve browsed cars at Hemmings before. They offer transportation, but I don’t know if they have to be involved in the sale. They will give you a quote when you provide pickup and drop off zip codes. Link below

Wouldn't any vehicle used to transport that vehicle get similar or worse mileage? Plus you have to pay the driver and the company would make some profit. I think driving it yourself is the cheapest option even with the poor miles per gallon.
