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 Calumet City, IL 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 Calumet City, IL 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 Calumet City, IL.
Active duty service member and I've done four PCS moves. This was the first time I used RapidAutoTransport for vehicle shipping to Calumet City, IL and it will be the standard from now on. Straightforward, fast, priced fairly, and actually on time.
I run a small used car operation in Calumet City, IL and ship 8 to 12 vehicles a month from auctions around the country. RapidAutoTransport handles all of it now. The rate is fair, the vehicles consistently arrive undamaged, and their dispatcher actually texts me updates without me having to ask. That responsiveness has saved me hours every month.
Retired, moved to Calumet City, IL, 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.
