The driver comes to your address, conducts a pre-transport inspection, documents the vehicle's condition with you present, and loads the car directly onto the carrier.

No terminals. No coordination handoffs. No surprises.

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 Mackinac Island, Michigan, 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.
I purchased a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda from a private seller in another state and needed it shipped enclosed to Mackinac Island, Michigan. 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.
Active duty service member and I've done four PCS moves. This was the first time I used RapidAutoTransport for vehicle shipping to Mackinac Island, Michigan 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 Mackinac Island, Michigan 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.
Bought a Tesla Model 3 in California and needed it shipped to Mackinac Island, Michigan. Called three companies two gave me prices that changed on the day of booking, one never called back. RapidAutoTransport locked the rate in, sent a driver who understood EV handling protocols, and the car was in Mackinac Island, Michigan five days later with a full battery charge. First class from first call to last signature.
