Services in Lorain, OH

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.

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 Lorain, OH, 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 Lorain, OH. 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 Lorain, OH 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 Lorain, OH 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 Lorain, OH, 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.
