Customer Reviews
I've shipped cars before with two other companies and the experience was always a mess late pickups, no updates, drivers who didn't speak to me until delivery. With RapidAutoTransport in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, the driver called me the evening before pickup to confirm. He arrived on time, walked the car with me, and even took his own photos. I tracked the vehicle the entire way. Arrived with zero issues. This is what the industry should look like.
My Maserati made it from New York to Lakewood Ranch, Florida 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 Lakewood Ranch, Florida.
Active duty service member and I've done four PCS moves. This was the first time I used RapidAutoTransport for vehicle shipping to Lakewood Ranch, Florida 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 Lakewood Ranch, Florida 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 Lakewood Ranch, Florida, 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.
