Who We Are
RapidAutoTransport is a fully licensed, DOT-compliant, and comprehensively insured vehicle shipping company operating out of Calais, ME and serving all 50 states. We weren't built to be the biggest auto transport company. We were built to be the most reliable one and that distinction shapes everything from how we hire drivers to how we answer the phone.
Unlike brokers who post your shipment to a load board and wait to see who takes it, we work with a curated, vetted group of carriers. That means we know who's handling your vehicle. We know their safety record, their communication habits, and their equipment. That's not something you can say about a broker and it's exactly what you deserve when you're trusting someone with your car.

The vehicle types change. The level of service doesn't.
The standard we set in Calais, ME is simple: your vehicle arrives in the same condition it left, on the schedule we committed to, at the price we quoted.RapidAutoTransport Operations Team
Services in Calais, ME

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 Calais, ME 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.
I purchased a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda from a private seller in another state and needed it shipped enclosed to Calais, ME. My previous experience with enclosed transport had been fine but impersonal no one told me anything unless I asked. RapidAutoTransport was different. The driver sent me photos at loading. He called when he was two hours out. He walked me around the car at delivery. The paint was perfect. The car was exactly as photographed. I don't even have another option to consider next time.
Military family, PCS move, Calais, ME was our new duty station. I needed my wife's car shipped while we drove the truck with the kids. RapidAutoTransport picked it up, gave me tracking access, and it was parked in front of our new place the day after we arrived. I cannot say enough good things.
I run a small used car operation in Calais, ME and ship 8 to 12 vehicles a month from auctions around the country. RapidAutoTransport handles all of it now.

Bought a Tesla Model 3 in California and needed it shipped to Calais, ME. Called three companies two gave me prices that changed on the day of booking, one never called back.
