My Maserati made it from New York to Petersburg, Virginia 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.

Active duty service member and I've done four PCS moves. This was the first time I used RapidAutoTransport for vehicle shipping to Petersburg, Virginia 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 Petersburg, Virginia 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 Petersburg, Virginia. Called three companies two gave me prices that changed on the day of booking, one never called back.
