I referred two friends to them before my vehicle even reached Portland.
My Maserati made it from New York to Mendota, Illinois 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.

Active duty service member and I've done four PCS moves. This was the first time I used RapidAutoTransport for vehicle shipping to Mendota, Illinois 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 Mendota, Illinois 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 Mendota, Illinois, 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.
