You need to read another fantastic review...A move creates stress for any individual; also, to transport a vehicle adds to that dilemma. I made a major career move to relocate across the country. A vehicle is a precious investment used daily & I needed a safe transport. As a result, by use of Golden Key Express to transport my vehicle was the least of my concerns! I spoke several times with Harold & Holly on the phone before my car was transported such as logistics (i.e., the location to drop off my vehicle from my departure to where the vehicle would stay at a safe place upon arrival before I arrived in my desired area) & all communication lines were clear! Third-party brokers were not needed to complicate the procedure. I met Harold at the desired location (great guy & cute doggie!); meanwhile, since I remained on the East Coast for a few weeks, I rented a car at the local airport as I finished business with my old job. Next, Harold transported my car across the country and sent occasional texts to inform each vehicle owner of what location of the country he was at during the trip. He landed out West with my car and placed it in a safe location. Finally, I arrived at a West Coast airport to my destination a few weeks later, I received my car at the specified location. Golden Key Express as a whole performed a fantastic job! No stress on this dilemma of a major move--Thanx Golden Key Express! read more

After a lot of searching for a reputable car transport Co. We thankfully found Harold, the owner of Golden Key Express. He has many years of experience and an amazing rig to transport your car safely across the country. I tend to be a nervous Nelly, and with Harold at the helm, I had complete confidence and peace of mind that our truck was going to make it safely from San Diego to New York. He gave me updates and photos all along his journey which was much appreciated, and his little doggie companion Teddy was such a joy to get to meet. Thank you Harold, we greatly appreciate your great service and would definitely use your service again in the future! read more

Harold and his service is top-notch. He moved our car cross-country from the Bay Area of California (near SF) to Wilmington, NC for a great price and was incredibly flexible with our schedule and timing, and had outstanding communication throughout the entire process. Took great care of the car and just all around an incredibly nice and genuine guy. Can't recommend him enough. read more

GREAT EXPERIENCE with Harold and Golden Key Express! He was very professional, super kind and he kept us up to date about the delivery process. He delivered our car from Los Angeles, CA to Boston, MA in exactly the time that he had estimated. Then, we had to ship the car back to Los Angeles again at the time that the car was delivered to Boston. And Harold was super helpful. Even though we gave him a very short notice he managed a space for us and shipped our car back to Los Angeles. Most importantly, this is NOT a BROKER company. You will directly deal with the owner & driver. There are no hidden charges. Quotes were reasonable. Car delivered as in the same condition. We are VERY pleased with Golden Key Express' professionalism & customer service. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to everyone. Also don't forget to say hi to his lovely dog Teddy who accompanies with him everywhere read more

I can't recommend Golden Key Express enough. I shipped my car across the country, and Harold and Holly did a fantastic job, from the quote to the pick up to the delivery. They are honest, reliable people, which is what you want when shipping your car. Harold stayed in contact along the way and once he had an estimated date range, kept me updated on the likely delivery day and time. Also really important to note: Unlike a lot of other car shipping companies on Yelp that are really just brokers who bid your car shipment out to another third party, Golden Key Express is owner operated. read more

It's been almost a year since Harold and Golden Key Express transported my daughter's car from California to North Carolina, but we haven't forgotten how smoothly everything went. From planning to flawless execution, Harold and Holly did an exemplary job, with able assistance from the charming Teddi. Harold and Holly were unfailingly patient and kind with our questions, and communications were excellent at every step. I researched other companies extensively before choosing this family business. As other reviewers have noted, Golden Key Express is unlike other companies that serve as brokers, with shipments contracted out to third parties. The difference is key. I would use Golden Key Express again in a heartbeat. read more

We have used Golden Key Express many times in recent years to move our cars back and forth from Virginia to Arizona. They have always been responsive, honest, and on time. Recently we had our daughter's car moved from Flagstaff AZ to Wilmington NC, both very difficult cities to access. No problem at all. The owner, Harold White, kept us informed of where he was, and exactly when he would arrive. Mr. White took a photo of the car loaded up on the truck. He is a very friendly man and as an added bonus we got to meet his adorable little dog who travels with him. Don't hesitate to contact Golden Key. You'll have no worries and your vehicle will arrive as promised. A++ read more

Highly recommend his service to everyone. His family business is amazing and you are treated like family. Reliable, excellent communication, and fair pricing for the best door to door delivery. I do hope he will be able to pick up our car in 3 years and take it to next destination. read more

Today Harold White and his canine assistant Teddi picked up our car in California to transport to New York. Always professional - with excellent communication and on-time, perfect service - we were impressed and honored to have Harold, the company's owner, going the distance. This is our car's third cross-country trip with Golden Key Express, and we have no fear it will be another 5-star delivery. Go Harold and Teddi! read more

If I could give more stars I definitely would! Harold is the best all around, from first contact to after delivery he is all around THE BEST! His dog Teddi is so adorable and friendly which was an added bonus. We received quotes from numerous other companies, some less expensive and others around the same price but none with his level of service. Other companies are not the ones who pick and deliver your vehicle, they find transport companies and it takes days to find someone and quotes can change. With GKE you are dealing with the same and only person throughout and he keeps you updated at all times, not to mention he delivers in the timeframe given (in our case was sooner). I'm beyond grateful for him and all the communication throughout. If we ever need to transport another vehicle we will definitely be contacting GKE! read more

I typically do not write reviews on Yelp - but I wanted to review & recommend these guys after the amazing service provided by Harold. First & foremost, this is not a broker company. I have had bad experiences (bait & switch) with broker companies and was looking to deal directly with the truckers. It was pure luck that I found Harold. He delivered my Nissan Rogue to Lowell, MA from Walnut Creek, CA in exactly the time that he had estimated. He kept me informed via texts all along the way. Finally, no scratches, no bitter negotiations, no hidden/extra charges - it was a pleasure doing business with him & I WOULD DEFINITELY recommend him to everyone. oh, BTW, If you do meet him, do say hi to his lovely pet dog - Teddy who accompanies him everywhere! :) read more

Unbelievable service! They are superstars! My gf contacted them to pick up a car from Virginia and she spoke with Harold and Holly, and Danny delivered the car. They definitely care about every aspect of what they do, from initial contact until after delivery, and are just stellar on every level. My gf loved Danny - she said he shared the same excitement about her car as she does and he took great care in bringing it across the country safely. She said he's like the family member you like and look forward to hanging out with: an all around amazing and caring person. This team is very professional and highly experienced in what they do - we definitely recommend them! read more

I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!! I shipped a Corvette Z06 and Honda CR-V across country with Golden Key. They showed up exactly when they said they were going to... they delivered exactly when they said they were going to. Alfred (one of the drivers) even waited 5 HOURS!! for me to show up (I was racing him across country... and lost). After I paid him and gave him his well deserved tip, I told him I'm going to get 2 buddies to come back and get the cars. He insisted on sticking around and watch the cars until I got back... after already waiting 5 hours.... what a GREAT GUY!! He already had his money, he more than fulfilled his end of the deal and still went above and beyond. THANK YOU AL!!! I also need to thank Misty Webb. She was great in communicating with me, answered all of my questions, and did her best when I had last minute changes... she was amazing! Don't waste your time with Montway or another low ball broker that will either leave you hanging or jack up the price last minute. This was one of the most stressful things I did while planning my move across country. I just want to thank Golden Key Express for turning this stressful event into an enjoyable one. read more

See all

Golden Key Express is an auto transport carrier, not a broker. I didn't know the differences between types of auto shipping in the past but I know more now - and we are so happy that we found this company. A broker works with multiple different trucking companies to match you up with a truck that fits your timeframe and origin/destination- and from my understanding, once you are hooked up with a truck, you are then dealing with the trucking company and no longer with (or not necessarily with) the broker. A carrier fits you into their own truck and schedule and then handles the arrangements for the shipment the whole way through - from origin to destination, you are dealing with the same person/ people/ company. Harold White is the owner of the company Golden Key Express and he was also the actual driver for our shipment. It is rare to find this type of transportation for vehicles, where the carrier is the owner - the continuity really makes a difference - knowing you are working with and communicating with the same person for all of the arrangements - on each end and throughout the whole process. It was just a 2012 black GTI being transported from California to Florida - not brain surgery - but if it was, Harold White is the type of doctor you want to be seeing in the preop area before they take you back. Because EVERYTHING this gentleman Harold White does instills confidence in himself and in the process. In EVERY single interaction Tim or I have had with him, he has been patient and kind and taken time to answer questions - he has made us feel that everything is under control. He is experienced (45 years trucking) and professional, organized and friendly - he communicates extremely well with texts and phone calls and it is just so pleasant and easy to work with him. Mr White gave me a referral to a broker he trusts when at first it looked like we weren't going to be able to ship with him because of the timeframe and the area he was currently covering. Then, he sorted out that it would work out to ship with him if we could meet up with him to drop the car off when he was coming back through southern California with his carrier truck on his way home to northern California for Christmas. Then, he let us meet him in Ontario for the dropoff instead of in Van Nuys because it was way more convenient for us - he saved us probably at least two and a half hours of drive time on the 405 freeway. When we met up in Ontario to drop off, he also gave us tips and advice about our driving a 22' Penske rental truck from California to Florida - hints about where to stay, where is safe, what to avoid, what to watch, that we should be careful to do this or not do that. This consideration and extra time and information goes way above and beyond just transporting our car, the job he was doing so well already. He also really cared about our whole move and wanted to make our journey across the country with everything we owned as smooth as possible too. The car arrived in Florida even earlier than projected / expected - it worked out that we were able to time the dropoff for when he was going to be in Jacksonville with the truck at the same time I was going to be there caring for my parents. The meetup to drop off was smooth and fast. As before, fantastic communication - he worked to get the car to me before I had to leave to take my parents to a doctor appointment, again always so positive and friendly and helpful. Our experience with this company has been stellar all the way through - from the very first phone call all the way to when we said goodbye after the dropoff. Mr White even watched to ward off traffic for me while I was making a three point turn on an access road to head back in the other direction from the truck. Just genuine care and concern on all fronts. This is obviously not just a job to this guy - he seems to love what he does and it absolutely shows in everything he does. I can't recommend this company highly enough - it has been such a pleasure to have worked with you on this move. read more

With this company you talk directly with the ppl shipping your car!!! There's no broker. Which is amazing!!! This company is excellent at customer service! They rock at communication. They are very clear with all of their documentation. There isn't any up front deposit. You pay when they deliver your car. The drivers are friendly and accommodating! The one front desk girl that you talk to is responsive and detailed. I will be using them again. Affordable. And awesome to work with! It's pretty simple I never felt like I was getting any sort of run around. They did exactly what they said they were going to do when they said they were going to do it! read more

Harold of Golden Key Express is a wonderful person! This was my first experience with shipping a vehicle. After painstakingly making advance arrangements, I was stood up by a shady broker. In frantically searching the internet for another car transport, I came across Golden Key and gave them a call. I needed transport clear across the continent and I needed it immediately. Although Harold was unable to supply the transportation, he kindly recommended another carrier that he felt would be able to provide me with excellent service. He was correct. My car was transported seamlessly. In this day and age, it is quite unheard of that someone would take the time and effort to give a recommendation in which they personally would reap no benefit. Thank you to Harold and Golden Key Express! read more

tl;dr - amazing service!! I recommend this company without a doubt. Golden Key Express will have you work directly with some great individuals that will be transporting your car, not a broker! ---------- Now here's the full story: A week before moving from Cary, NC to Pasadena, CA, I was about to send over payment information with a company that I had been talking to for a few weeks.The company I was going to use quoted around $1800 for 2 cars (mazda 3 and hyundai tiburon). It turns out the reviews I originally read were inflated/bots. After reading terrible things on yelp, I panicked. That's when I found out what a broker service was for car shipments. There was only one week before two of us were flying out west and we had two cars that needed to be shipped. Right away, I looked up numerous companies and put in multiple quotes. It was hard to figure out if I was submitting a quote to a broker or a transport company. Then, I came across Golden Key Express. On the website, I could clearly tell that this was a personal business and not a broker that I would be working with. On yelp, all I saw were positive reviews. I crossed my fingers, submitted a quote, and gave Harold a call the following day. When I talked to Harold, I found out that Danny (the driver we worked with) would be around the area that weekend (2-3 days from our conversation) and there was a last minute dropout so he had room for 1 car. Still freaked out, I explained my situation to Harold and since the two cars were smaller sedans, he was going to talk to Danny to see if he had space and get back to me on taking both cars. Great news came my way. Danny would be able to transport both our cars! We were quoted $1100 for each car - $2200 total. I talked to Danny on Friday and he informed me of his route. He mentioned that he would come by late Saturday or Sunday morning and work to get as close to the house as possible. When it was confirmed that he would be by on Sunday, he called before he left his prior location (30 minutes out). Next thing you know, Danny made it right in front of our driveway! He let us know that he would be in Pasadena the following weekend. The next week rolled around and we found out from Danny that he would be by on Sunday morning next to one of the nearby grocery stores. The roads in Pasadena are harder to maneuver through and he mentioned this to up when he picked up the cars in Cary. Danny offered to drive one car over to pick us up and take us to the second car but we just took a lyft since the store was close by. Both cars showed up in perfect condition. Although we paid a little more than using a broker, it was definitely worth it knowing that we were working with a reliable company that truly cares about their customers and keeping them satisfied. I am so happy we were able to find Golden Key Express. I will be recommending them to anyone I know of that needs to transport a car across country. If I ever need to ship another car, I will definitely use this company again!! read more

I had to move from SoCal to Maryland, and I was determined to find a first party auto mover instead of a broker where the lowest bidder moves your car without their reputation on the line. Golden Key Express was amazing. Howard, the owner, drove our cars himself in his big red trailer with his doggy at his side. Amazing family owned business that keeps in touch with you every step of the way and got my cars in less than a week in perfect condition. If you need to move your cars, call them now! read more

Golden Key Express transported my car from CA to MD. They did a great job. The driver made it very convenient for me in terms of drop off and pick up locations. My car was well taken care of. The driver kept me informed on pick up day and time. He also communicated drop off time and he was right on time. You will not worry about your car shipment! I appreciate them even more now because we moved back to CA and Golden Key Express had no availability. It is nice to deal with the car shipper directly instead of trying to figure out who is going to drop off your car. read more

Harold did a wonderful job at transporting my Lexus from California to Texas. He kept me posted as to where he was in the process and location. Amazing at what he does and great customer service. Thank you Harold! read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would do it. Golden Key Express transported without any single hiccup my SUV from California to the East Coast. It was a pleasure working with them. When I called them, they even knew my name when I mentioned the description of the car. I like my car and I have taken care of it. It felt like it was in good hands when it was being transported. They also communicate well telling you in advance what to expect and what to do. Please note that this company is not a broker. They are the actual transportation company. This means that there is no middleman that can mess up the logistics between you and the transportation company. read more

These guys are not agents, which means you deal direct with the owner/driver and not some third party who have no control over when your car will be picked up and delivered. They shipped my X5 from LA to Virginia Beach in September and were 100% reliable. Danny arrived in VB a day earlier than me but agreed to keep my car on his truck until the following day. No payment is made until you have inspected the car and confirmed all is OK!! You may find cheaper but that is of no consequence if the agent cant find a driver to pick up your car because they under quoted. read more

I was researching many transport companies and came across this company on yelp. I emailed Holly back and forth and she was great with answering all my questions/concerns. We are relocating from California to the DC area and the price was great. They are the company who quotes you, picks up, and delivers. Danny (driver) was great with letting me know when he would pick up, he got as close as possible to my apartment complex, and delivered when he stated.... Working with my family where the car was being shipped. I would suggest this company to anyone who is moving long/short haul. Great customer service and people! Thanks read more

Shipped my car from CA to NY, cross-country. These guys were GREAT! I had already been through a nightmare of an experience with another company, when I decided on Monday to cancel with that company, I completed the Golden Key form online that night and my car was picked up THE NEXT DAY, after trying with the other company to have it picked up for weeks prior. Misty was great and responsive, and Tomek (driver) was super nice and responsible. I got regular progress updates along the way, and the car was delivered on time and to my parameters, even though I changed the address on them the day before delivery. Shipping my car was THE SINGLE MOST STRESSFUL part of moving from CA to NY and I wish I had just paid the extra money to go with Golden Key in the first place. They were more expensive that other quotes I'd gotten, but at the end of the day, my car finally got shipped across the country in one piece thanks to their professionalism. Completely worth it. read more

No brokers and no hassles!!! These guys are owner operators. Shipping a car for the 1st was a HUGE learning experience for me. I did A LOT of research. Most I found were brokers in South Florida. They seamed very sketchy... And they all wanted a deposit. Golden Key isn't like that!!! The people booking your shipment are actually working for Golden Key. The same driver that picks up your car, delivers your car. I didn't pay a deposit..(If I did, I don't remember lol). The pick up dates were set and we were told thing do happen from time to time and times are missed but not by long! We were assured the driver would stay in contact with us and keep us updated and we were even provided the cell phone number of the actual driver. Thankfully, they showed up right as scheduled and delivered just as planned keeping us informed all along the way! I paid $1150.00 to ship a car from Connecticut to California. A HELL of a deal considering gas prices, hotel, food, and other expenses I would have paid doing it myself.... Not to mention the wear and tear and mileage I would have put the car through by driving it on my own. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOLDEN KEY!!! The people are great and the service is top notch!!!! I WILL ONLY use them going forward when shipping any auto! I think you will be VERY happy dealing with these guys!!! read more

I had my car shipped from MD to southern CA by GKE. The driver picked up my car on a Tuesday and had it delivered by the next Sunday in its same condition without any extra miles on the odometer or other fishy business. Total cost: $1100 + tip. The whole process was easy and without hassle from quote request to pick up/delivery and payment. Al drove my car, he was super sweet, super flexible and very professional. Fun fact! Al has a little white half jack russel-half chihuahua travel companion. read more

I needed to ship a car from NY to San Francisco and after getting on the mailing list of about a million hungry transportation broker / sharks, I was this close to not even shipping the car. The Yelp and BBB reviews of each one of these businesses was absolutely dreadful and every time I thought I found a good company I discovered another person who had been scammed, or had to wait 3 months for their car. To make matters worse, I had a tough challenge in that the car was in a hard-to-reach location and needed to be picked up within a 48 hour window. I was so lucky to find Golden Key Express. They absolutely nailed it - every single thing they promised they not only did but exceeded expectations. Misty and my driver, Dominic were extremely responsive and wonderful to deal with. Everything was perfect: no tricks, the car arrived two weeks before expected in perfect condition for the exact same price we had agreed. I seriously don't know what I would have done without this company. The only possible item I would improve as... this is a cash industry, and that really sucks. I hate both visiting a bank branch to get cash and carrying around said cash waiting for the delivery. Charge me 3% more and take a credit or a debit card. I guess they're afraid you're going to dispute the transaction. But anyway, these guys are about a million times better than the rest of the industry, I really hope they are successful, grow their business and are rewarded for the value they're providing to this terribly opaque and scammy industry. read more

I cannot express how satisfied I am with this company's service, attitude, and professionalism. I had just recently purchased a brand new 2014 BMW and was moving it from Northern CA to NJ. Having previously shipped a car the other way, I had some experience with the auto transport industry, and shipping my car was the most nerve wracking part of my move. First and foremost, Golden Key does not employ brokers. That was paramount in my shipping needs. The person who picks up your car is the person you meet to take delivery. In this case, my driver was Dominic. A consummate professional, he took the time on pickup to answer my questions, talk to me about his route and holiday plans (the car was shipped over Thanksgiving weekend), and instill confidence in me that my baby will arrive safe and unharmed. Having given me a call two days prior to pickup to arrange the details, I had his cell phone number, and he was very encouraging about calling whenever I needed to for a status update. I ended up calling twice (once after a week, and once when I arrived to NJ). Dominic was quick to respond, if he didn't answer right off the bat. All said and done, my baby arrived in the exact same condition in which he picked her up (albeit covered in road dirt, which is to be expected. A quick bath and she shined like new). No words can express how happy I am with Golden Key and their methods. I have found my transport company for all of my car shipping needs in the future. read more

If I could give more stars, I would! I was in a pinch, and had to move from TN to NV in less than 3 weeks. Found GKE online, called Harold and he gave me a very fair quote in minutes. Their driver Danny is very communicative and professional. The day before pick up, he called to confirm all of the details. Upon pick up, he did a very thorough check of my car. Then through transit, he checked in every other day to let me know where he was. He gave me a heads-up and arrived early! Car was in the exact same condition. As a first time mover, I could not have asked for a smoother experience. Stress free, reasonable, exceptional! I struck gold. Thank you GKE team! read more

Moving a car across the country ranks among the most stressful things you can voluntarily put yourself through. The folks at GKE could not have been any more professional and enjoyable to deal with, and actually made this a very pleasant experience! The night before pick-up, my driver Jack called me to arrange plans. Since I lived in Philadelphia, there was no way in hell a car carrier would fit through our quaint, one-way streets. We arranged to meet in a Home Depot parking lot not too far from where I lived, so I could walk home easily after I dropped off the car. That morning, I met him there and he was right on time -- and with an impending rain coming, he even offered to drive me back to my house in MY own car, and then drive my car back back to put on the truck. That is A+ customer service! The drive from Philadelphia to San Francisco took about 12 days, making some stops along the way to pick up and drop off other vehicles. The whole time, Jack was in contact with me, letting me know where he was and how much longer he would be on the road before getting to me. When he finally got to San Francisco, he left his truck in an industrial area a couple miles away, drove my car to my house to meet me, and then he and I drove back so he could get back to his truck. I had done so much research into different companies and I knew I had made a good choice. Jack took great care of my car and put my mind at ease. Next time I have to move across the country (or if anybody else does), I will easily recommend GKE. read more

I have used transporters for 35 years and Golden Key Express is the best! This company owns and operates there fleet not brokered out. They are honest, trustworthy, friendly upstanding family business. Thank You for hauling my cars with such care at a great price. Michael H read more

I recently used Golden Key Express to ship my dear automobile from the Bay Area to northern NJ for my cross-country move. Anyone who's done this kind of thing knows what a stressful experience it can be, and I think the people who run Golden Key understand that, too. I was so nervous about shipping my car that I checked up on this company any way I possibly could, even through calling Golden Key's insurance company and asking how many claims they've had recently, etc. Turns out they've only had something like one claim in 12 years (I'm paraphrasing here, so don't quote me on this), and the insurance guy had nothing but good words about the guy who owns Golden Key and the drivers he hires ("only the safest," according to the insurance person). It's a smaller operation, so you tend to speak to the same dispatcher when you call the company, and they even gave me the cell phone number of my driver, who was communicative and friendly. My car got to the destination almost exactly when they said it would, and other than needing a wash (thousands of miles of dirt accumulated -- no fault of Golden Key's, of course), my car was in great shape. Highly recommended, and if I ever have to move across the country again, Golden Key would be the first call I make. read more

They weren't able to transport from my location but Harold talked me through the whole process and the world of car transportation. He talked to me about shady vs good services and gave me a bunch of tips and said to call or text if I had anymore questions. I texted him about a quote from another company later that night and he advised me for no reason other than just being a good person. Not many people would take a solid 10-15 minutes out of their day to help a total stranger who is ultimately giving their business to another company. I was amazed at his genuine quality character. I can't speak to the transportation service, but I can say the man behind the operation has 5 star class! Thanks Harold! read more

No amount of stars can show how much I appreciate Golden Key Express. From requesting the quote to the actual delivery of my vehicle, the entire process went by smoothly and efficiently. Before I forget, Golden Key Express is military friendly! Misty, GKE's dispatch coordinator and the one who gives you the quote for your vehicle transport, is wonderful. She handles every request with professionalism and truly demonstrates excellent customer service. I've requested multiple quotes from her -- she has responded to each one within 24 hours; weekends require a 48 hour wait. She reads through the form you submit and adds/subtracts any fees that are applicable to your order; she also handles the "special requests" that you might have. I had one of my vehicles picked up by Dominic in Fresno, CA and he delivered my car to New Jersey on the earliest delivery date I listed on my order. By the time I reached the meeting point on the day of delivery, Dominic had already unloaded my vehicle from his truck and parked my car in front of it. My car was well taken care of and had no damages whatsoever. Yes, my car was a bit dusty and had a few "gifts" dropped by some birds, but that is the least of my concerns. After a nice conversation and a walk through to ensure everything is A-okay, I paid Dominic what was listed on my order in cash and carried on with my day. HOW IT WORKS: 1) Head over to the Golden Key Express website and click on the banner that says "Get A Free Quote." 2) You will be shown a form that you need to fill out. This is the form for the quote, so try to be accurate or sure of your plans so Misty could correctly calculate your quote; this includes the pick up date and the delivery date. Give a range of dates for both. Fill out everything that is required and/or that applies to your vehicle! 3) Wait for the quote in your email. When you receive one, it will show the truck information, the quote in a yellow box, any fees or discounts, and the driver who could be the one transporting your vehicle; a copy of your submitted information is also included. The quote is good for 45 days, but to ensure you reserve yourself a spot on the truck, it is advised you respond as early as you can. 4) If you approve of your quote, respond back to the email and tell Misty you will accept their offer. You will receive a follow-up email that contains the link leading to the final order form on their website to officially secure a spot on a truck. There is no deposit needed at all during any point of the process. *** You pay the driver what is listed on your order form on the actual day of delivery. *** 5) Once approved, you will receive a confirmation email and a PDF containing the completed official order form. Print this out for future reference. It will contain the official details of the transport. The driver will call you 24 hours before the pick up date to give you the address of the location where he could load your car. On the day of pick up, you will meet the driver and he'll explain any additional details. You will also do a walk through around your car so both of you know the condition of the vehicle before and after the delivery. Be sure to head to your vehicle's delivery point at least two days before the earliest delivery date. The driver will call you 24 hours before the day of delivery to give you the exact address of where he can unload your vehicle. It is important to keep in mind that drivers cannot go into residential neighborhoods or in areas with narrow roads so the exact address you give may not be possible. The drivers will do their best to get as close as they possibly, legally, and safely can to your desired delivery point. After this experience, I definitely recommend Golden Key Express' services to anyone in need of vehicle transporting. As a matter of fact, I have another vehicle waiting to be transported this month. I requested Dominic to be the transporter as he did a fantastic job! read more

My 1976 BMW 2002 underwent a 11 month restoration process in San Martin, CA. Naturally, I was worried about flying rock debris damaging the spectacular paint job while driving it home to San Diego (SD) via the I-5. I contacted Golden Key Express (GKE) and asked if the company could transport my car back to SD. Harold (owner/driver) requested that I make an online reservation 2-3 weeks prior the the desired pick-up date, which I completed. He communicated with me often as he drove westward toward the Bay Area from Boston. I met Harold at the restoration shop on Sept. 8 (Wed) at 9 AM to release my car to Harold's care. He mentioned that he would place my car in a "safe" space once he picked up the additional cars for the drive to SD. He dropped off my car on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 12 with 2 of my neighbors as spectators as we're still driving from San Francisco to SD. He texted me a message with a photo of my car in the driveway. When I returned home later, I checked my car and found that the paint job was still spectacular, but slightly dusty. Harold put my worries aside and I'm a very happy customer. If any of my friend(s) need their car(s) to be transported, I'll recommend GKE wholeheartedly. read more

I used Golden Key to ship my car from Florida to LA. John(my driver) was the epitome of professionalism. He called 2 days in advance and even worked with me on the pick time so that I could run a few errands. When there was a possible delay in my husband and I arriving in LA for pick up, his only response was "No problem." and quickly came up with a solution. My car was in the exact shape that I gave it to them in, which is what you want with this service. If I had to ship my car again, Golden Key is definitely the only company I will use. A++ service from quote to delivery. read more

Harold and Holly did an excellent job helping me ship my car across the country. They were able to squeeze me in last minute on a load and kept me updated the whole way. It was awesome to meet Harold and his road dog, Teddi, too! You can tell that Harold enjoys what he does and is a great person. I could not have had a more positive experience and will be sure to use Golden Kep Express in the future should I need it and continue to recommend it to friends and family. read more

I shipped two cars from Florida to California last year and was very pleased with the service. I researched car shipping companies for weeks and was looking to deal with a company directly instead of a broker. Excellent customer service - I dealt with the same person in the office from start to finish. They were the only company to actually send me a copy of their insurance policy. Very friendly and helpful. The actual shipping of the cars went very smoothly. The driver showed up on the promised day and dropped our cars off at the destination three days early! He gave us his cell phone number and was in constant communication with us. The truck was very well maintained and looked secure. The driver was very professional and I trusted him with our cars. Cost for shipping two cars was $2000...a little more than you might pay when dealing with a broker but the extra cost was worth the peace of mind. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more
