    Excellent communication and attention to detail. I have dealt with several other carriers that weren’t interested in the details and would quote a low price upfront then increase the price to get it moved. Ship A Car Direct was very honest and upfront. I’ve used them twice and they got both vehicles moved within 48 hours at below their quoted rate.

    I did my research and landed with Ship a Car Direct and was very impressed. Shipped my son’s car from Texas to Utah. Matt’s communication was outstanding as well as the the ultimate carrier, both very professional and patient with my numerous questions. After graduation these guys will be shipping it back to Texas. Note, I shipped a classic car 5 years ago and it was a painful experience so I was bracing for a similar difficult process.

    Could not be happier than the method of pick up and delivery. While the streets of Boston aren't conducive to the size of the transport vehicle, and you need to arrange for a ride at the rendezvous point; the delivery to the door was a great experience.
