Can anyone recommend a good auto transporter ? I looked on http://transportreviews.com but all the best rated companies on that site have terrible reviews on Yelp.

Reliable, Plycar, Horseless, InterCity, Passport have all been good to me in the past. Drivers have been courteous and more importantly have taken great care of my cars. Slow pick-up / delivery may happen if you're located in a relatively remote area. Also major shows and auctions may influence scheduling.
I have made arrangements with Reliable in transporting 8 or 10 cars (vintage cars and Z8's) from the east cost to Colorado for the BMWVCCCA Club Holiday / O'Fest driving tour. John G. has been great to work with, prices were very competitive.
Try to stay away from brokers as you never know who will transport your car.

Quite a big spread in quotes Ive received for coast to coast (US):
Reliable: $1100
InterCity: $1900
The feedback on Reliable is concerning.
InterCity has great feedback and is endorsed by Jay Leno and F40.

Sounds like Intercity (or Horseless, Plycar), would be the safest bets.
Is it appropriate to tip the driver transporting my car ? If so, how much would be appropriate ?

Just used Plycar for a transcontinental Z8 transport. They were excellent.

I would tip. 50-100$. Any ding you get less in the car will be worth more than that.
Even better: give 50 up front and mention there´s another 50 at the destination if the car get´s there unharmed.

Plycar/Intercity/Horseless
I am transporting my coupe from Boston to LA.
These are quotes I received for enclosed transport:
InterCity $1995
Plycar $2200
Horseless $2350
Anyone not recommend Intercity over Plycar?
Thanks

Six of our BMW VCCCA group shipped with Reliable, including myself.
All cars arrived on time, all cars got back home safe.

Would you leave positive feedback if everything goes well ?
Would you leave negative feedback is something goes wrong ?
Companies that move 100,000 + cars per year are bound to get some negative feedback. Goodings and RM move $30 million dollars worth of cars per auction.
I don't think that they would recommend companies with issues.
Intercity
I looked on that transport reviews site, but it looked fishy to me. Some shippers just had entirely too many reviews to be believable.
One of the things I learned is that some shippers will take your money but then put the contract to move your car out on a bulletin board where the cheapest independent driver will do the actual move. That's a deal breaker for me.
So, I ended up using Intercity.
Pro:
Their own drivers.
Great communication from their dispatch and drivers every step of the way.
Even though I chose an enclosed trailer, they wrapped my car in cloth then in plastic. They do this so no fluids from other cars drip on your paint.
Very accommodating on pick-up and delivery. Even when the car was 12hrs late for pick-up, they waited for it.
Delivered on time, right down to the hour.

Con:
A little more expensive. $2000
They dont have GPS on their trucks.
My team was Bill & Virginia Duran. She's somehow associated with BMWCCA. Id use them again without a second thought.
