Long-distance move from Basalt, CO to Louisville, KY

Long-distance move from Colorado to Kentucky

Communication from the company and driver was good. This driver had an enclosed trailer which was a nice surprise. One of our criteria was that the company did not require payment in full prior to completion. This allowed us to be satisfied with the service and the inspection of the vehicle at drop off--and then pay the driver. Montway and the driver did a good job.

Service cost: $1325

Long-distance move from Folsom, CA to Lacey, WA

Montway Auto Transport

This is my first time moving out-of-state. I was hesitated and confused which auto transport to sign up for due to different good and bad comments from other people’s experience with different company. Based on the reviews I narrowed down the list on which one is important and came across with Montway Auto Transport. Montway employees are very knowledgeable, accommodating and helpful, and even provided me discount during the process of scheduling of my auto transport. They work closely with clients and make they are well informed and updated before pickup and delivery. The driver name Gabe who pickup and deliver my auto from California to Washington was very nice, professional and accommodating, and called an hour before pickup and delivery. The driver is always on time. I had very great experience with Montway employees in auto transport and I highly recommend them in your move.

Service cost: $999

Official company response

Thank you for the review, Michael. We definitely encourage all customers to do their research. Auto transport is a complicated process and there are a lot of specifics. So the more questions you ask us the better. If we can help again in the future just let us know.

Long-distance move from Lancaster, MA to Bellingham, WA

Car transporr

The timing was excellent. Communication between me and the truck driver needed a little help. My car was picked up at originating site. I never received notification from Montway or the trucker. Just the dealership. Also I was a bit confused by the original bid and the change in price once I booked the transport. However, the truck driver was terrific once we met up. The overall transport went very well considering the distance and responsibilities.

Service cost: $2199

Official company response

Thank you for the review, Valorie. We'll be sure to audit the order as clear communication is important to our services. If we can help again please let us know.

Long-distance move from Utah to Washington

Not drivable vehicles beware

The experience was fantastic overall. The driver kept us informed and updated. The only reason for a four star review instead of five was that I was told since my vehicle didn’t run, the driver would extract it from the garage and put it back in the garage at its final destination. As it turned out, when the driver came to pick up the car, he said he could only pick up and drop off in the street. I had to find another source at the destination to move it from the street to the garage. Would have made other arrangements beforehand if I had known.

Service cost: $1149

Official company response

Thank you for the feedback, Gregg. We'll be sure to provide this to the carrier. As it's important that clear communication is provided for inoperable vehicles and what may be required from the carrier's end.

Long-distance move from Chicago, IL to Seal Beach, CA

Surprisingly great

This was my first time shipping a car across the country, and my experience with Montway was surprisingly great. The quote process is simple and was completed online without talking to a human (a huge plus). The rate was really reasonable and I liked that Montway had a lot of customer reviews. Montway subcontracted my shipment with SOS Transport, and my car was picked up in Chicago and shipped to SoCal. The experience was smooth, and I was assigned a driver a week before pick up, and my car was picked up on the 2nd day after the 1st available ship day. The pick up process was smooth, and my driver seemed to know what he was doing, and provided me a lot of details on how my car would be moved, and how long I can expect my shipment to take. My car arrived in California in about 9 days, and a driver at the destination called me to coordinate delivery. My car had an open transport, and aside from it arriving a bit dirty, there were no issues. The drivers on both ends were courteous and friendly, and I really have no complaints. I hope to never have to ship a car or move across the country again, but if I do, I will definitely use Montway again.

Service cost: $939

Official company response

Thank you for the amazing review, Roy. It's always great to hear when the carriers we work with do an amazing job. We'll be sure to let SOS know about your feedback.

The Best in Transporting Vehicles

My BMW was transported professionally and expertly.

The customer service was excellent.

The transport driver was amazing (Driver-Ali Muhammad).

I had my 2020 BMW transported from Maryland to Arizona.

The car arrived in perfect condition minus the dirt from the open air transport.

I would highly recommend Montway Auto Transport.

Do not hesitate to itinerary the service of Montway. (And I am most particular about my automobiles. )

Long-distance move from Tucson, AZ to Berkeley, CA

Auto Transport

The overall Montway car transportation reservation, pickup, and delivery (from Arizona-Northern California ) was remarkable - Wednesday to Friday - a day earlier delivery than expected and parked car in front of home. In this day and age we have become so use to expect the unexpected with service and cost, but not often in the most positive ways. This was very special service! Great cost options, fantastic communication with Montway people, and safety practiced throughout transport. So pleased with service, I called the driver the day of delivery and Montway office the next day to express profound gratitude for service.

Service cost: $859

Official company response

Thank you for the review, John. We try our best to deliver the most professional experience possible. And if the unexpected does occur, we're here to help. We're happy we could help with your move and are here any time!

Excellent experience from first contact all the way through drop off. Alex got me set up via LIVE CHAT!! He was very police and professional. He walked me through the whole set up process!!

My driver, RYAN provided excellent communication. He arrived to pick up my vehicle within 5 minutes of his estimated arrival time. Ryan drove over 400 miles to our drop off location. AND he arrived within minutes of his estimated arrival time!! Ryan was professional, polite and RIGHT ON TIME!! Ryan communicated directly with my husband at pick up. Then Ryan communicated directly with me to coordinate the drop off time! We probably drove the poor man crazy!! Through it all RYAN was a terrific guy!!

From Cali to Texas with 3

Thank you Montway for transporting my three vehicles from California to Texas. The entire step by step process was flawless on all accounts. The fees were reasonable with no updated prices change I experienced with the moving company of my personal items. The father-son duo were very professional and took care with loading and unloading of my vehicles. I was giving contact information to reach the driver at anytime. I was told the date of my delivery which ultimately arrived a day earlier. Thanks Montway. I shared my happiness with a friend who should be contacting your company soon.

Thanks again!

I needed to transport a car quickly and contacted Montway on a Monday and was assigned a carrier the same day. The distance was approximately 780 miles and I received a fair price that I was happy with. The car was picked up 2 days later and arrived in San Francisco the following day. The driver was professional and courteous and my car arrived in perfect condition. I highly recommend Montway and I am so happy I contacted them.

Montway Auto Transport

This was my first time hiring a transporter for a vehicle. It is a daunting experience when you think of handing over a possession worth thousands of dollars to an unknown company/business. I was able to speak with an employee each day of the transport to track my vehicle. It arrived right on schedule and in perfect condition - which is how they received it. I was very pleased and relieved. Thx!

Service cost: $1400

Official company response

Thank you for the review, Barbara. We know not everyone ships a car every day and it can be a daunting process. That is exactly why we're here. We vet every carrier with a 20+ point industry-leading inspection process. We're happy to hear the carrier did a great job and will be sure to share your feedback with them.

Montway Auto Transportation Company provided great customer service, and my truck was picked up on the same day I called to make reservations. The driver was very nice, courteous, and professional. He took pictures of my truck, and gave me a receipt. My truck made it to my hometown safe, with no scratches, or damages. I picked up my truck just the way I dropped it off to the drover. Their previous online ratings and customer reviews are exactly what it says…RELIABLE and TRUSTWORTHY!!!!! If I had to do it all over again Montway is the company I’d go with no doubt!!!!

Long-distance move from Battle Ground, WA to Wentzville, MO

Car shipment

I shipped my car from Washington state to Missouri. I requested a dedicated pickup date as well as a top-load option. The initial pickup by the local company went well. I never received any update on my vehicle during transit and when I called to inquire I was told I'd get an email update which never arrived. When my vehicle arrived it was FILTHY - I found out that the vehicle was NOT on a top load. To add to the frustration the truck driver used dry paper towels to wipe my vehicle in multiple areas undoubtedly causing scratches. When I confronted the driver he simply said "what's the matter? Just wash the car!" Can you believe it? How unprofessional and arrogant! How Montway can allow these types of carriers to partner with them in unbelievable. Now Montway says they are not liable for any damages and I have to file with the carrier - Wasn't Montway the initial carrier??

Highly disappointed with this so-called "premium" service. Although customer service is generally responsive I cannot recommend this company based on my experience.

Service cost: $1599

Official company response

We practice thorough vetting processes to ensure carriers have proper insurance and certifications. And continuously monitor carriers to ensure they meet service standards. Upon dispatch, we provide carriers with complete shipment information. It is the responsibility of the carrier to service the shipment per the dispatch they accepted. Feedback such as yours is incredibly important to us. Carriers with poor feedback and low ratings may be removed from our preferred network.

I apologize again for the inconvenience. Our team has reached out to assist with the situation. If you have any additional questions or feedback please email us at feedback@montway.com. Thank you. -Rick

Montway transport did an excellent job.

My driver Anton was very professional and I was comfortable with him transporting my vehicle. His truck was immaculate and I felt reassured that he would take good care of my car.

He stayed in communication with me throughout the process and was very accommodating at time of drop off.

I will use Montway in the future and highly recommend them for professionalism and price was competitive.

My car arrived on the date that was given to me. The car was in great shape. The driver was very helpful and friendly. I have no complaints on your company and the transport cross country. The only thing that was inconvenient for me was the pick up in New York. The driver didn't get to my house till 1am. The driver was very nice and polite and felt bad about the late hour. I didn't get any notification that the pickup was going to be that late. I would have liked to had better communication.

Service cost: $1420

Thank you for the feedback, Joan. Communication is essential to our services. I'm sorry to hear that the carrier did not provide sufficient communication on the pickup end. This is an expectation and we'll be sure this is properly addressed with the carrier to prevent such situations from occurring again in the future.

Long-distance move from Ohio to New Jersey

Shipping my new vehicle from ohio to new jersey

I own my own towing business for 36 years. It was convenient for me to go pick up my new vehicle in Ohio. I called Montway and they sent george from Nordic Transport to do the job. Montway from the very first call until dropped at my door in New Jersey was perfectly on point each step of the way. They did not know that I owned my own towing business until the job was complete. I had very high expectations when hiring someone to do a job for me that I have been doing professionally for close to 40 years. They exceeded every part of the service I expected. I would use them again without hesitation, also I will be recommending them for any jobs that I cannot do. Montway is simply the best!

Long-distance move from Cupertino, CA to Detroit, MI

Car transport CA to MI

Pickup and delivery were easy to schedule. The driver was friendly, considerate of our college student’s needs, chose an easy access place for pick up. He was careful in inspecting the car at pickup, kindly pointing to any defects as he marked them on the auto diagram on the pickup sheet. We were able to send needed college room necessities in the car as long as they weighted less than 100 pounds and were below auto windows and covered to discourage possible theft. This was so helpful!!

Gratefully, the driver chose a safe place to deliver the auto within walking distance for the college student.

The car arrived in the same condition it was at pickup. Contents intact! It was well worth the price to have car transported in the middle of severe snow storms and COVID issues. The cost of transportation ($1,350.00 by credit card) versus the cost of gas, added mileage and increased maintenance, COVID exposure while driving, and the possibility of an accident during the long drive from CA to MI during snow storms made cross country transportation a good option. This company was great!!

The driver provided his direct cell phone number and was available for updates and answered any questions. So happy we used this company!!

Service cost: $1350

Official company response

Thank you for the amazing review, Betty. We're happy we could help with your student's move. Pricing is a delicate process for auto logistics.

As we're sure they'll be excited to hear they did an excellent job. If we can help again in the future please let us know.

Long-distance move from Newton, MA to Folsom, CA

Disappointed. BEWARE!

I debated whether to put ONE star, but chose two because Montway did put forth some effort. This is just my story, but I feel like I need to put it out there for others looking to ship their car.

I was well aware Montway is just a broker. The actual company that brought me my car did a great job. My issue is with the "transparency" Montway says they strive for.

I requested a quote to ship my daughters car from the east coast to the west coast. Was quoted $1659. I agreed to this price and signed a contract.

On day 6 from my first requested day of pick up, I received an urgent message to contact Montway.

I'm informed they found a carrier, but the cost would be $490 MORE! I argued until I was blue in the face that I had a signed contract for $1659, but now they wanted $2149!! They told me it was the carrier asking for more money (because of low demand) and if I didn't want to pay it, they would have to start the search all over again, which would take "weeks" and there would still be NO WAY my original price would be picked up by anyone! So now that my daughter is back in CA and her car is stuck in MA, I felt like I had no other option than to agree. We needed the car back! After much more arguing and several more phone conversations, they took $100 off.

So the car was picked up and I was told 7-10 days for delivery.

On day 11, I received a phone call saying the car was JUST NOW leaving MA! So it sat somewhere for 11 days!!!

We received the car 7 days later (on a carrier FULL of cars)

I then started the process of trying to get back the remaining $390 because of the original contract I signed.

I was repeatedly informed that the contract is "transparent" and says the cost is an estimate. I have read the contract I signed six times, and it does NOT say that. Why in the world is a contract signed if not for the price quoted on it??! Then I'm told it doesn't say in the contract that the price is firm...but this is why there is a contract that I sign, right?!

I'm offered another $100 off and am told there is absolutely no way they can provide the entire refund and are not in the capacity to do so. I finally gave up. So I'm very disappointed and feeling taken advantage of.

Just be aware, the price you sign for on the contract is just an ESTIMATE. It may be the price you pay, or you may get to pay a lot more.

Service cost: $2049

Official company response

Hello Nicole, I'm sorry to learn that our services have not met your expectations. As an auto transport management broker, our job is to arrange your shipment with a motor carrier. We use our tools and resources to reach the largest possible base. More so than any other broker in our industry. All carriers have different requirements and specifications for their services.

We provide a quote, an estimate, of the price it will take to ship your vehicle. This estimate is based on current market conditions and is affected by locations, weather, truck availability, and more. We negotiate with carriers on our customer's behalf to keep prices low and fair. And will present various shipping options. It is always the decision of the customer to proceed.

I apologize again for any misunderstanding. We provide full details of our services on our website at https://www.montway.com/. If you have any questions or would like to provide additional feedback, please email us at feedback@montway.com.

Quick and efficient

I moved a car from DC to DFW. I did one day of research, chose Montway because of good, competitive price along with very positive reviews. Made decision on Sunday with Tuesday scheduled pick-up. Transport was able to meet me at my house in DC. Then transit to DFW area was two days with drop-off at my driveway. There was good communication, I had the number of the driver to coordinate pickup and delivery. It was very smooth and I would not hesitate to use Montway again or recommend them as well.

Excellent, professional service

Communication was thorough, accurate and on time. Bruno the driver, was professional and pleasant. He picked my car up on time as promised and got it to its designation a little early. I would highly recommend anyone that needs to have their vehicle transported to go with Montway. The price was reasonable and they were clear on how the procedure worked. While this was my first time, I felt confident that I was in good hands. Thank you.

Service cost: $1119

Thank you for the excellent review, Shelia! Not everyone ships a car every day. We're here every step of the way to make it easy. We'll be sure to let Bruno know they did a great job. I'm sure they will be delighted. If we can help again let us know.
