Services in Staten Island, New York

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 Staten Island, New York to Oregon every step was communicated, the price didn't change, the car arrived in exactly the same condition it left.

I purchased a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda from a private seller in another state and needed it shipped enclosed to Staten Island, New York. 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, Staten Island, New York was our new duty station. I needed my wife's car shipped while we drove the truck with the kids.

Six months in as a fleet client in Staten Island, New York 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.
