Open-air transport is how the vast majority of vehicles move across the country from Burlingame, California efficiently, safely, and at a rate that makes sense. Your vehicle rides on a professional multi-car carrier alongside other vehicles heading in the same direction. It's the same method dealerships use to move inventory, and it delivers the same result: your car at its destination without incident.
Enclosed transport isn't a luxury upgrade for the vehicles that use it it's a necessity. If you're shipping a Porsche, a Ferrari, a concours-condition classic, or any vehicle where the cost of a single scratch exceeds the cost of enclosed shipping, this is where you start the conversation.
Expedited shipping costs more than standard transport but it's not luxury pricing for a luxury service. It's a practical option for customers in Burlingame, California who have real time constraints and need a transport company that can actually respond to urgency with logistical action rather than vague promises.

Customer Reviews
As someone who's moved cross-country twice and shipped vehicles both times, I can say without hesitation that RapidAutoTransport is in a different category. Shipped my Jeep from Burlingame, California to Oregon every step was communicated, the price didn't change, the car arrived in exactly the same condition it left. I referred two friends to them before my vehicle even reached Portland.
My Maserati made it from New York to Burlingame, California without a scratch and I was nervous about the entire thing. The enclosed carrier was spotless, the driver was meticulous, and the delivery was literally 20 minutes ahead of schedule. I've already recommended them to two other owners in my car club in Burlingame, California.
Active duty service member and I've done four PCS moves. This was the first time I used RapidAutoTransport for vehicle shipping to Burlingame, California and it will be the standard from now on. Straightforward, fast, priced fairly, and actually on time.
Six months in as a fleet client in Burlingame, California and I've not had a single late delivery or billing surprise. For a dealer, that's worth more than the per-vehicle rate alone.
Retired, moved to Burlingame, California, needed my Lexus shipped from up north. The entire process quote, booking, pickup, tracking, delivery was the smoothest experience I've had with any service company in recent memory. Five stars isn't enough.
