Services in Mentor, Ohio
Whether you need standard open transport or white-glove enclosed shipping for an irreplaceable vehicle, RapidAutoTransport has the carrier type and the team to match your requirement in Mentor, Ohio.

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 Mentor, Ohio 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 Mentor, Ohio. 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, Mentor, Ohio 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 Mentor, Ohio and ship 8 to 12 vehicles a month from auctions around the country. RapidAutoTransport handles all of it now. The rate is fair, the vehicles consistently arrive undamaged, and their dispatcher actually texts me updates without me having to ask. That responsiveness has saved me hours every month.
Bought a Tesla Model 3 in California and needed it shipped to Mentor, Ohio. Called three companies two gave me prices that changed on the day of booking, one never called back.
