Who else’s car have started the voyage to Rosemont?

[flyingn]

Reliable came today at 3 pm and took our two cars!

[NorCam]

Just curious, but is there a special discount for cars being shipped to MCACN through Reliable?

[69W31post]

Good morning. Im in Ulster County NY. Called reliable a few times and for one car was quoted $2500 round trip for my car. I opted to buy a new trailer instead. We leave early early Thursday. Wish us luck.

[flyingn]

good luck!!! see you there!

[mike1971]

No discounts that I know of Graeme,but its nice not to have to deal with the traffic,weather,and parking of the trailer.plus with reliable your car is never outside and they have 1st priority getting in and out.and I thought the price was reasonable.

[69W31post]

Yes the price is/was reasonable. I havent even left yet and am already second-guessing my decision . oh well, traffic, weather etc here we come

[mike1971]

Weather looks ok next few days. Possibly a little snow Saturday. You will be fine. Safe travels! See ya soon.

Reliable, if you come from a far distance, or even if you don't want to deal with any hassle, is the deal!!:biggthumpup: I used them twice to ship the Bee up and back with no issues and top notch service. Anytime I have a car going to MCACN in the future, it'll be shipped with them. Discount? Peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of and you can relax and enjoy friends/ cars/food/beer (not necessarily in that order) is worth waaaaaaaay more than a few bucks off in my opinion! :biggthumpup:

Cheers and everyone have fun!!:beers:

I agree with dave. I feel the cost was well worth it with Reliable. Very professional and the car never sees any weather at all.

So being that this is Chicago, is there any issues with unloading the trailer at the convention center, ie with unions? I know the company I worked for years ago used to send the company truck to McCormick with a trade show exhibit, but had a difficult time getting it unloaded once the truck arrived. Story I heard was that a "bribe" was required to get unloaded unless the driver waited hours until the middle of the night and was unloaded at double time. Had to change to shipping via common carrier. Just wondering for those bringing their own trailer?

There is no issues unloading your private car trailer/hauler all you have to do is follow the instructions that is on your paperwork and you get right in at your designated time and they give you about 30 to 45 minutes to unload ...what I can tell you is ....with the cold weather please make sure you guys have antifreeze in your cars we don’t want anyone pushing freezeout plugs out and trust me I have seen it happen to other cars

This sums it up; may not be the cheapest but they are competitive and their insurance coverage and tracking ability is second to none.

No issues whatsoever. To say the community of Rosemont welcomes us with open arms is an understatement. With the amount of business we bring in to the community, they work directly with us in many ways to help us continue to produce a quality show.

Can you say 2,000+ hotel rooms nights?
