"Unbelievable experience. I called last minute to have my car transported from Minnesota to Texas. My car was picked up the next day on a Wednesday it was delivered in Texas around 8:00 p.m. Thursday. Now that's outrageous fantastic customer service"
"Transported my car from Seattle to Scottsdale. Good communication and car arrived with no issues. Only thing negative was that car wasn't picked up when I requested (a day later) and car arrived a day later than anticipated, but I was flexible so it was not a problem for me."
"Shipped my car from Washington to Missouri. Everything went smoothly and the communication with the drivers was great. Would definitely recommend."
"I couldn't wait to provide a stunning review for Peter and RoadRunner Auto Transport following an overall great experience and such amazing service!! The transport of my new (used) purple Scion to me in Florida from Minnesota was smooth and flawless, and Peter, the driver, was very pleasant,…"
Open or Enclosed Transport for Washington to Minnesota?
Open car transport is the standard choice for most shipments and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip — the same way dealers move new inventory. See open auto transport for details.
Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.
Expedited shipping is also available when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle there faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from military relocations to students starting a new semester.
