Transport from Texas to Connecticut - Recommendations?

Hello all,
Looking for recommendations for a transport company to go from Texas to Connecticut. Outside or inside transport, doesn;t matter to me.

Thank you in advance for your help!

That could be fun, but are you sure the OP is asking about a running-driving car? Or maybe they don't want to chance getting stranded with a car they have no real history about.

If you drive it from Texas to Connecticut you will have to quarantine for 2 weeks.

This is a real consideration. My first reaction was drive it but - Above -

Maybe the car itself should be quarantine for 2 weeks - I'm sure it has been touched

I always preferred Reliable auto transport, they have a large hub in Peoniex Arizona & I'm sure they come thru TX on the way to the east coast often.

Depends on the car. If it's something that's special, Intercity Lines. Run-of-the-mill, there are a number of options, including those mentioned above.
