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 Ashland, VA, 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.
My Maserati made it from New York to Ashland, VA without a scratch and I was nervous about the entire thing. The enclosed carrier was spotless, the driver was meticulous, and the delivery was literally 20 minutes ahead of schedule. I've already recommended them to two other owners in my car club in Ashland, VA.
Active duty service member and I've done four PCS moves. This was the first time I used RapidAutoTransport for vehicle shipping to Ashland, VA 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 Ashland, VA 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 Ashland, VA. Called three companies two gave me prices that changed on the day of booking, one never called back. RapidAutoTransport locked the rate in, sent a driver who understood EV handling protocols, and the car was in Ashland, VA five days later with a full battery charge. First class from first call to last signature.
