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 Gate City, 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.
I purchased a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda from a private seller in another state and needed it shipped enclosed to Gate City, VA. 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 Gate City, VA and it will be the standard from now on. Straightforward, fast, priced fairly, and actually on time.
I run a small used car operation in Gate City, VA 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.
Retired, moved to Gate City, VA, 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.
