Military family, PCS move, Salem, SD 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.
Six months in as a fleet client in Salem, SD 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 Salem, SD. Called three companies two gave me prices that changed on the day of booking, one never called back.
