Services in Long Lake, MN
We don't limit our customers to one or two transport options. Here's the complete menu of what we offer each built for a different need, all backed by the same quality standard.
Open-air transport is how the vast majority of vehicles move across the country from Long Lake, MN efficiently, safely, and at a rate that makes sense. Your vehicle rides on a professional multi-car carrier alongside other vehicles heading in the same direction. It's the same method dealerships use to move inventory, and it delivers the same result: your car at its destination without incident.
Enclosed transport isn't a luxury upgrade for the vehicles that use it it's a necessity. If you're shipping a Porsche, a Ferrari, a concours-condition classic, or any vehicle where the cost of a single scratch exceeds the cost of enclosed shipping, this is where you start the conversation.
When a last-minute relocation, a dealership deadline, or an auction purchase demands faster-than-standard transit, our expedited shipping option in Long Lake, MN gets your vehicle moving within 24 hours in most cases. We bypass standard carrier scheduling, assign dedicated transport, and route your shipment directly to minimize intermediate stops and delays.
Door-to-door is our most popular service configuration in Long Lake, MN for a reason: it removes every logistical burden from the customer and places it where it belongs with the transport company.
A collector car that has been in a family for generations, a restoration project that took three years to complete, or a race car purchased at auction across the country these aren't typical vehicles, and they shouldn't receive typical transport. Our team in Long Lake, MN handles collector and specialty vehicles with specific protocols: enclosed-only transport, pre-load condition documentation, soft tie-downs, and direct communication with the receiving party to coordinate a safe and witnessed delivery.
Whether you're moving 5 vehicles a month from auction or 50 vehicles a week across a regional network, we build the service configuration around your business. Our fleet clients in Long Lake, MN tell us the biggest value we provide isn't just the rate it's the fact that we're reachable, responsive, and predictable.

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 Long Lake, MN 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 Long Lake, MN. 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 Long Lake, MN 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 Long Lake, MN 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 Long Lake, MN. 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 Long Lake, MN five days later with a full battery charge. First class from first call to last signature.
