Short Distance Transport Reviews

From beginning to end, I was able to communicate via phone, txt or email to someone regarding my car. The staff and transporter gave me updates on my vehicle from pickup to deliver. I definitely recommend using this company for all your Auto transport needs.

My review- Corey booked my transport and Yuri brought it to me. Since they have a multiple-car hauler, 2200 miles in 5 days from Georgia all the way across the country to Idaho was remarkable. Their pricing was competitive, not the most expensive but also nowhere near the least, and they were transparent, unlike those bait-and-switch companies. What truly impressed me was that they never asked for additional money of any kind. Both Corey and Yuri maintained open communication with me every day, keeping me informed and at ease. I must admit, I probably harassed them, but they never complained. Yuri even smiled and said he felt like he knew me, and I was so grateful, I hugged him tightly. Initially, I had called Navi, who had the best online ratings, but the person I spoke with was dismissive and uninterested, acting as if I was interrupting his dinner (and this was the SECOND time i called!) After putting me on hold for 5 minutes, he returned with a bored tone, saying, "What is it you want again?" I was taken aback and told him I wanted a different company before hanging up. As someone approaching 60, my car holds sentimental value, it was my 15th anniversary present, it carries memories of my family, including prom nights, bringing home grandbabies, and even a proposal. It's more than just a possession; it's a treasure trove of memories. I was apprehensive about transporting it with multiple vehicles, but Yuri went above and beyond, moving the vehicles off the mobile parking lot twice to ensure my Solstice didn't get a scratch. Thank you, Corey, for being persistent and calling me back, and thank you, Yuri, for treating my Black Betty with such care. I'm forever grateful to both of you, Teresa.

Excellent Car Moving Service! I had a great experience with this car moving company. From start to finish, everything was smooth and professional. The team kept me updated throughout the process, arrived on time, and handled my vehicle with great care. My car arrived in perfect condition and earlier than expected. The price was fair, and the customer service was top-notch. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and stress-free auto transport service!
Short Distance Auto Transport FAQ
Common questions about local and regional car shipping
What is considered short distance auto transport?
Short distance auto transport typically covers moves within 500 miles, including same-state moves, neighboring state transport, and regional relocations. This includes city-to-city moves within a state and cross-border moves to adjacent states.
Can I get same-day pickup and delivery for short distance moves?
Yes! Many short distance moves under 200 miles can be completed the same day. Our local carriers often offer same-day service, especially for urgent needs. Next-day delivery is standard for most short distance routes.
Is short distance transport less expensive than long distance?
Short distance transport has lower total costs but higher per-mile rates than long distance moves. However, you'll save on hotels, meals, gas, and time compared to driving yourself, making it cost-effective for many situations.
Do I need as much advance notice for short distance moves?
Short distance moves typically require less advance notice. Many can be scheduled within 24-48 hours, and some carriers offer same-day emergency service. However, booking 3-7 days ahead ensures better availability and pricing.
Are local carriers different from long distance carriers?
Yes, local carriers specialize in regional routes and often have smaller trucks that can navigate residential areas more easily. They know local traffic patterns, shortcuts, and delivery challenges, resulting in faster and more efficient service.
What if I need to transport my car within the same city?
We handle intra-city transport too! This is perfect for moving between dealerships, taking a non-running vehicle to a repair shop, or relocating within a metro area. Local carriers can often complete these moves within hours.
