    Email from Global stating my order was cancelled and their accounting department was notified

    I cancelled my shipping BEFORE a carrier was assigned. I was told my $395 deposit would be refunded. When I called later after no refund, I was told "Paul doesn't work here anymore" I never got a call back or a $395 refund. Liars and cheats, imho

    I was in panic mode as I needed to transport a vehicle I sold from Los Angeles to Atlanta. I Googled auto transport companies and Global Auto Transportation came up. I sent in an inquiry and within minutes I got a response back! I had the distinct pleasure dealing with Robert from GAT. He must have sensed my urgency and concern about transporting shipping my car, but he put my mind at ease. He provided a brief history of the company and insured my of his and the company's capabilities. Robert did his research and got back to me with a price quote and estimated pick up and delivery date. I instantly jumped on it and Robert put me in direct contact with the transport driver to further assist me. I must say, the driver was just as professional as Robert. He safely loaded my car and away it went. If I ever have to ship a car again, I'm contacting Robert from at Global Auto Transportation!

    GAT cargo not insured About January of 2023, I received a shipping estimate from Sofie at Global Auto Transportation (GAT) to transport a Polaris off-road vehicle from Oregon to Southern California. On Tues, May 30, my Polaris was picked up by an enclosed triple-axle trailer towed by a newer model Ford Superduty (the Seller gave me photos of the Ford tow vehicle and it's license plate). So far so good. On Weds afternoon, a day after pickup, I received a text from the transporter "my driver got delayed on the road" followed by a photo of a blowout on a SINGLE axle trailer! The message caption read "Because of this, my driver is late, sorry". I pressed for details to alleviate my concerns. "No spare tire??" I asked. "No." came the reply. At 7pm I messaged "Is it fixed yet?" no reply. At 8pm I messaged "Where did your breakdown happen?" no reply. Then that night, at 1am, the transporter messaged "In Oregon, everything is already fixed, the driver is on the way". Then at 10am i received the message "Hi, can we deliver Polaris today in evening around 9-20-11pm?" "yes" I replied. But later that day there was an excuse for a new delay. Delivery would be the next day, Friday. My concerns grew a lot. Could this be a "faked" delay to give the "driver" or an accomplice time to orchestrate a phony theft of tow vehicle and trailer? A new $50k Polaris could be easily sold no-questions-asked in Northern Mexico to wealthy drug cartels with money to burn. Was this all to allow time for some Polaris joy-riding? How many "fake" reasons for delay should I tolerate before it would be too late for authorities to do anything? Was my Polaris covered if the driver's rig were reported stolen? I looked at the emailed estimate from GAT and saw cargo Insurance of up to $250,000. I called GAT to request Proof of Insurance (POI). Sofie didnt have it. This is when I learned my vehicle was not actually in GAT's care, but rather a 3rd party's. I asked Sofie to send me POI. She contacted the transporter and then emailed me an insurance document for a CHEVY TAHOE! So I called again. "I want POI for the actual Ford tow vehicle immediately!" I told her I would place a negative review on YELP if I didnt receive an accurate true POI, and it was both her obligation and in her interest to provide it. I told her a negative YELP review telling this story would hurt her job security and GAT's business. The transporter and Sofie offered a $300 discount on the remaining $750 I was to pay the driver. I felt I was being offered a bribe to keep quiet. Well, no POI was provided. My Polaris arrived safely on Friday afternoon, in the enclosed triple-axle trailer towed by the Ford Superduty photographed by the Seller. The next week I again asked Sofie for a correct Proof of Insurance. It is now 7 weeks later, and I never received any proof the Ford pickup and its cargo were insured. For future vehicle shipping, I will only select a carrier who advises me in writing they will provide Proof of Insurance for the transporting vehicle and proof cargo THEFT is covered BEFORE picking up the cargo. I will insist the carrier agree to refund my deposit if the driver/transporter is rejected by the Seller because the driver's POI didn't match what I received. I will give a copy of the POI to the cargo Seller and require Seller to only give cargo to the transporter/driver after confirming POI matches the driver's vehicle. I hope this review helps YOU to dodge the bullet that missed ME.

    This was the worse service I've ever experienced in my life. If you are looking to transport a vehicle DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. I placed an order and could not receive a confirmation for my pick up date till the night before after pestering Art, the employee who took my order. He would tell me he would get back to me with updates and never once called me. I had to call every time. When calling the manager Helen, who I wanted to complain to, who is also EXTREMELY RUDE and unprofessional told me "maybe if you pay more we can find you a driver" when my order was already over a grand. I received my car today and the driver left it completed damaged with his oil/tar hands all over my roof and said "he didn't do it" when he never marked that it was there to begin with on the inventory paper BECAUSE IT WASN'T. I've been calling the company all day and everyone has been so rude saying they don't know how they can help me because they don't know who to believe when I provided before and after pictures of my vehicle. This is the worse customer service I've ever paid for!!!!!!! Now I'm stuck paying for damage to my car when I didn't have any to begin with. I also left my vehicle to be picked up with my sun visors on so I know he had to have removed them to drive my car. Unacceptable service!!!!! No reimbursement or compensation was given!!!! Below are pictures of the stains that Driver LUIS LOPEZ left. I also sent them to the company and they said they didn't know what to do. DONT TRUST THEM AND SAVE YOUR MONEY!!

    Got my vehicle transported about 2 years ago. They put my z4 bmw soft top convertible under a vehicle that was leaking oil and broke my seat belt loop as well. Was told to be at the drop off location at a certain time and ended up waiting for over 3 hours while the driver kept saying he was almost there.

While there were a few issues along the way (life happens!), what really stood out was how quickly and professionally they handled everything. They stayed on top of every concern, kept their word, and made sure things were fully resolved. Their communication is excellent, they're responsive, attentive, and genuinely care about their customers' experience. It's rare to find a company that not only provides great service but also goes above and beyond to make things right when challenges come up. You can tell they operate with real integrity, and that peace of mind is priceless when trusting someone with your vehicle across the country. Because of their dedication and accountability, I can confidently give them five stars. Highly recommend working with them, they don't just deliver your car, they deliver trust.

We went with the great reviews through our search on LISCA. The longest wait was due to all the top rack vehicles ( double decker transport truck) being unloaded to place our vehicle ( last to get dropped off in AZ) on top at the very back of the carrier near the Cab. ( understandable) . Delivery & pick up was down the road because the carrier was too big to navigate in the housing area we live in that have smaller streets. The drop off was .5 miles from the house. The pick up was a lil bit further from the house in a shopping area size parking lot. I got 40 min advance notice prior to the truck being dropped off via phone. I would use this company again.

Have patience during the booking process while he finds a quality driver, let Henry work his magic, and he'll get it done. Once I got connected with a carrier, my car made it across the country in under a week from Maryland to California with no issues. I'm a meticulous person and I made a largish purchase for a car so I even checked the carrier that he found for me, and they had sufficient miles logged and insurance on file, all of which gave me an extra peace of mind. He accomplished all of this while giving me a reasonable/competitive deal. I'm recommending him to my friend who might also be buying a car across the country in the bear future

My experience in 2023 was great when Shawn worked there - delivered on time, amazing driver, super communicative but unfortunately it was not as great a couple years later. It seems like Shawn has left the company and Henry now primarily runs it and honestly for an expense that is high as shipping a car, I would recommend looking elsewhere now. I will say their pricing was still competitive compared to other places when I booked it again in 2025, but my car arrived 3-4 days later than quoted and the subcontracted company or Coastal did not keep me updated. I had airtagged my car so I could see that it was still moving, but would have appreciated some more communication. In addition, when I talked to Henry when booking this transport, he called me once and was very quick and dismissive vs Shawn was extremely kind and very happy to talk to me back and forth over what would be ideal. Their quoted pricing in their online website and email is not also not accurate now. I believe when I booked in 2023 the pricing that I was quoted online vs what I paid was accurate, but when I talked to Henry on the phone in 2025, he explained that it would be $200-300 more expensive than what was emailed because of demand, gas, etc which I think is fair...but honestly that feels like a bit of a bait and switch lol. Nevertheless I booked with Coastal again because I had such a great experience with them previously and while my car did get there, I wouldn't use them again. Also after I had already booked the transport they sent me 15+ emails with my original quote to book. I had literally already booked!! Maybe this is faulty technology but it definitely made me feel like a number in their system and not a customer. This may be petty but if I'm spending this much on something there needs to be better customer service and communication.

She even suggested putting some extra information in the notes about where to do the pick-up and drop-off (something that was completely messed up by the other company). On the day of the pickup, the driver texted me to let me know exactly when he would be there (the other company messed that up too). We talked about the best place to do the pickup and he went to the place that I suggested (the other company insisted on an illegal and dangerous location even though I told them there was a safer and legal spot just around the corner). I asked the Patriot driver to give me his best estimate on the drop off date because I needed to book a flight. He told me he would text me after picking up the other the cars. And he did!!! He arrived on the date he said he would. He texted me about where he thought he could do the drop off and I was able to suggest a better location within walking distance of my house.
