Car transport.

Ship A Car Direct is awesome!
I needed to get my car from Florida to California and after reading some reviews I decided to give Ship A Car Direct a try. I spoke with Angela and she explained everything and the time frame that it would happen in. My car was picked up on time on the decided pick up date and was delivered to me the very day I arrived in California.
Impressive!
I would definitely use Ship A Car Direct again.

A tale of two shipments.

I worked with Stefan and he was fine and Thomas the driver from Longhaul Auto Transport was awesome! I recommend Thomas without reservation!! Everything went smoothly and car was great
I shipped the same car back less than a month later and was stressed by poor communication and pick up and delivery time being off
No call the last day to pick up before my flight
I had to get nasty to get anyone to pick up the car and they couldn’t speak English
I don’t know where Stefan was but the office wasn’t helpful by telling me about an employee’s personal problems causing me problems. No one can make a call or answer any? Voicemail not set up for the company contact. Always referred to dispatch who was unresponsive
The car arrived 4 days earlier than expected and I barely had time to meet him due to the travel delays
Diesel Auto Express made me sweat and I won’t use them ever again.

Cross Country Shipment.

Purchased a pick-up long distance, in Washington State. Worked with Ship a Car to arrange shipping to my home in Vienna, VA. Renee was my rep and she arranged for Tech Transport to ship my car. All went smoothly and I recommend the company for your shipping needs. Vic with Tech Transport was easy to communicate with via voice and text. He was surprised the truck had a cap on it. I had not mentioned it to Renee at Ship a Car nor had she asked me about it. A truck with cap is more expensive to ship and Vic and I arranged for me to pay $200 more over the original quote. Renee offered to fully refund the extra charge to me but I agreed to 50/50 due to my satisfaction with my overall experience with Ship a Car and that neither party was aware of the potential extra cost. Renee was new to the company but was very enjoyable to work with. This is the second time I've used the company and will not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Long-distance move from San Clemente, CA to Scranton, PA

Happy With The Results..Very Happy!

When a company delivers what it promises, You tell others. Ship-A-Car Direct did just that. From the professional attributes of the driver, to the customer service, and finally the delivery, I can not say one negative thing, and I am about the most nitpicking customer one could ever not want to deal with..Believe me!
The quote was right along the others. I shipped my late mothers classic 1988 Mercury Cougar from Southern California, to Pennsylvania. A gift to my son. It arrived ahead of schedule, no dents, in other words, clean and perfect! I will use their services again if the need ever arises. If you're in So Cal, ask for "Nes" to transport your vehicle. He's the best!. Thank you Angela for all your help in setting things up, and the rebate for telling others what a great company you run!

Service cost: $1325

Long-distance move from Manhattan Beach, CA to Williamsport, PA

La to pa Ship.

I cannot say enough good things about SHIP A CAR DIRECT and Troy Car Shipping. SACD were polite, thorough, efficient and less expensive then some broker competitors. I chose an enclosed carrier and my Camaro was shipped next to a Bentley. The car was picked up promptly and arrived in perfect condition, ahead of time. I intend to ship the car again and will definitely use this company.

Long-distance move from Florida to Ohio

Peace of mind.

Shipping our cars from Florida to Ohio with ShipaCarDirect was an easy and wise decision. The process was smooth, the videos very informative and John and his staff extremely helpful. The driver was Polite and skilled, plus the whole neighborhood showed up to watch as he loaded both cars. The cars arrived safe and on time. I would highly recommend this company to transport your cars.

Cure for Anxiety

Ship A Car Direct is the cure for anxiety. I live in New York & purchased a car in California. I was going to fly to California and drive the car back stopping along the way to see family and friends. Unfortunately my wife was not feeling adventurous so on to plan B ship the car. The High Anxiety started after posting my info on a shipping website. I was barraged with phone calls, emails and estimates. Vetting these companies was difficult to say the least. The anxiety rose and the days past. I wanted my car and this process to be over. A cold call from a transport company sold me with a better price, less transportation time and good reviews. The next day I checked the companies rating on BBB website. My heart sank and my stomach turned. I then read the fine print of the contract. Pickup and Drop off days are just estimates. Your car can sit for weeks unless you want to pay extra for a different trucker. I canceled ASAP and a month later I still have issues.

Now here is the Cure. A family friend recommended David from Ship A Car Direct a company he used more than a handful of times without issue. I contacted David (818-824-4910) and it just felt right. David stayed in contact with me to and through the delivery. Dave gave me a fare and competitive price and continuously kept me apprised. Louis the transport driver kept in touch from pickup to drop off.

I’m 65 and this was the first car I purchased site unseen. It was quite nerve racking. Make it easy on yourself call David at Ship A Car Direct. (818-824-4910) GL

Long-distance move from Los Angeles, CA to Tampa, FL

Great Service and reliable process

As a first timer transporting my Prius from LA to Tampa, I was scared of trusting my car to anyone. However, Ship a Car Direct did an amazing job by responding to my lead, providing a quote, finding a mover and negotiating the earliest date for pick up. The driver were very proffesional, from pick up to delivery, they contacted me ahead of time to update me and it felt like the smoothest process ever. Will absolutely recommend and will use them again if needed. Keep it up, and thank you for helping me out. ($1,400)

Service cost: $1400
