For most vehicles shipping from Smithville, OH, open transport is the smart call. It's cost-effective, high-frequency, and handled by drivers with established routes. If your car is a standard sedan, truck, SUV, or van, this is the starting point and for most customers, it's also the finish line.
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.

No terminals. No coordination handoffs. No surprises.
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
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 Smithville, OH 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 Smithville, 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 Smithville, 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 Smithville, 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 Smithville, 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.
