    I had Montway Auto Transport ship my Mercedes SL 63, and I must say, my experience was exceptional. The entire delivery process went as smoothly as possible. I even had to contact the driver multiple times for updates, and he was incredibly accommodating. The driver went above and beyond by skipping his hotel break, ensuring the car arrived about eight hours earlier than anticipated.

    The pricing was exactly as Montway originally quoted, and I tipped the driver for his outstanding service. As this was my first time using auto transport services, I was understandably nervous, especially since I was shipping such a valuable car that I bought from out of state, sight unseen. However, the transport experience was flawless.

    The driver was pivotal in validating the vehicle's condition reported by the dealership in Atlanta, which was crucial since the car was high-value and located hours away while I was in South Lakeland. His thorough inspection and documentation reassured me that there was no damage upon delivery.

    During the purchase, there were several red flags at the dealership, which almost deterred me from proceeding with the deal. Despite several people advising against it, I was determined to secure the car since it was rare to find. The anxiety was intense, but seeing the undamaged vehicle in perfect condition when it arrived was a huge relief. The driver truly delivered as my eyes on the scene.

    Throughout the nerve-wracking experience of buying this car without seeing it in person, Montway Transport provided excellent support. The driver’s professionalism and meticulousness meant I felt confident about the state of my purchase—a commendable level of service rare in such transactions. To sum up, I couldn't be happier and would highly recommend Montway Auto Transport for anyone requiring reliable, top-notch vehicle shipping services.

      We had a good experience with Montway Auto Transport. There were only a couple of snafus that made this a Happy review (4) and not a 5. First, the Montway people told me that I was to pay the driver who picked up the car. So, I had the cash ready (in order to take advantage of the discount) for the driver. THIS IS NOT TRUE! We were to pay on delivery, which was a problem because I would not be at the delivery site, and I wasn't even sure my daughter would be there yet, depending on how quickly they arrived. However, I was assured that they accept Venmo and that still qualifies for the discount.

      Secondly, the pick-up date, which fell at the end of the possible date range we were given, was extended a day. This was NOT convenient because we were staying in a hotel near my daughter's apartment. We had to stay another night. My daughter had to be out of her apartment the day before (and the car removed from the parking lot). I intentionally made that date the last date of our window.

      Fortunately the apartment manager allowed us to leave the car there one more day. But then, the driver was running late the next day and wanted to push it off one more day -- which fell outside our pick-up range. We said absolutely not. Even if we have to meet him at midnight, we cannot spend another night at this hotel. We must deliver this car TODAY. As it was, we did meet him at about 11 pm to deliver the car, but at least we could head home the next morning. The car did make it to Oregon after my daughter arrived, so that worked out well. There were no issues with the travel or the delivery - we were pleased about that.

      My daughter was moving from Boston to Los Angeles and I looked around for a transport service. The reviews indicated that Montway seemed reputable, with trustworthy customer feedback, and their commitment to not altering prices last minute was a decisive element for me. It was echoed in numerous reviews as a differentiating factor for them against their competitors.

      I researched multiple transport companies and many of them had their pricing fluctuate with date changes. But Montway held firm according to reviewer experiences. My process of setting things up began with online submission of the transport details, which was then promptly followed up by communication from Montway representatives. They were quite attentive in mapping out logistical components for us, effectively guiding us through what needed coordination and which steps were already covered.

      Given my daughter's residence was on a narrower street, Montway's communication on using independent drivers was beneficial, allowing us to flexibly plan for a vehicle pick-up from a friend's more conveniently located, driveway-accessible home. The transition went smoothly since my daughter didn’t have an address in LA yet. On more than a few levels, the adaptability in sorting out timing especially played into Montway’s favor—our assigned driver adjusted plans so that the pick-up and drop-off dates would face no interference with my daughter’s schedule or impose unnecessary stress. This level of accommodation was commendable.

      The transport service from start to finish seemed quite straightforward and efficient. Moreover, as noted in our previous arrangements, the final cost matched our initial quote exactly—that was certainly reassuring.

      If I had to rate my overall transport experience with Montway, I would confidently place it as a '5' due to their strategic assistance in maneuvering some complex timing around both ends of the delivery lane. Absolutely open to recommending Montway Auto Transport to anyone prior still making the decision.

      I heard about Montway Auto Transport from endorsements, which might have been from Forbes magazine or something I saw online. When I reached out to Montway, the customer experience stood out as excellent. Over several months of planning, I interacted with several people, including a notably helpful coordinator from Interstate Moving and Relocation Group. He was a pro.

      One particularly positive experience was how accommodating Montway was with pricing. I was shipping two cars, then one car broke down completely. We didn't have to ship it, but one of the operators on the company's main line was very helpful and she got me a little added discount on the vehicle that I was gonna ship because they issue an incentive to use them again. I asked her if there was any chance she could use it on the other vehicle I was co-shipping with it, and they gave me more off. This flexibility left me quite happy with the cost and the service.

      We've made some changes for the pick-up date and there were some initial challenges during the pickup. The driver, who didn't speak English, used a translator app to communicate, but he didn't bring it up at first. It was really difficult trying to coordinate with him. Thankfully, his partner did speak English, making the rest of the process smoother. Despite these early hiccups, the vehicle was delivered safely and even arrived ahead of schedule. That was part of the confusion. I wasn't paying attention to match my delivery dates when I was gonna be there, but it was good. I was grateful for the safe and timely delivery.

      In summary, the quality and reliability of Montway's service left me thoroughly satisfied, ultimately contributing to my decision to award them a high-notch rating moving forward.

      I used Montway Auto Transport to ship my classic 1949 Oldsmobile convertible from Idaho Falls to Gold Canyon, Arizona. I opted for an enclosed trailer to ensure its safety during transit, and the experience was excellent. The car arrived in perfect condition, and the driver was very professional and cautious while unloading it at my doorstep.

      Before choosing Montway, I considered doing it myself and checked 2 or 3 other transport services, but Montway's offer was reasonable compared to the costs I anticipated if I did it myself. The customer service representative I interacted with was prompt in providing a quote and was transparent about the process, which I appreciated greatly.

      Overall, I am really satisfied with the service I received, and I won't hesitate to use them again in the future if I need to transport another vehicle. I've even noted their contact information in case I need it later. For anyone considering Montway Auto Transport, the price was fair, and the quality of service was outstanding. If you're happy with such service, why go anywhere else?

      2. Vehicle pickup: Upon booking your order, Montway’s logistics team searches its vast carrier network to identify the ideal transporter for your vehicle and desired ship dates. Once your order has been assigned to a carrier, Montway immediately notifies you by both phone and email with all carrier contact information and shipping details.
