    I needed to move a car back home after my son finished college. Had kind of a tight window to get it done. Read the reviews on Ship a Car Direct. Definitely glad I did. My rep Lottie was amazing to work with. Told me exactly how the process would work. Sent me emails as well as text messages. Car picked up exactly as planned and delivered exactly as planned. It was a very pain free process start to finish. They are very competitive on price. Lots of great information on the website. I would definitely use them again. Truck arrived safe and sound.

    Henry found an excellent transport carrier for me for an across the country job in an enclosed…read morecontainer. 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

    I have used Coastal twice, once in 2023 and another time in 2025 for the same route, moving CA to…read moreTX and then back. 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.

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.

With Patriot, communication was stellar throughout. After I submitted a quote request online, I received an email back within 24 hours with a very reasonable quote. I had a couple of questions and the rep (Allison) was great. 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. In short, they did everything they promised, with excellent communication throughout. I will never use anyone else.

    They got my car from San Francisco to LA without issue. Price was not too high. I'd use them again.read more

You were VERY patient with us and answer all our crazy questions. However, I did not like that Topline Group Shipping they were insensitive and gave me sarcastic answer when I ask a question. I've received a email from Mercedes stating "A collision with your vehicle has been detected". OF COURSE we would be nervous and freak out! That would make ANYONE nervous. They were just to nonchalant about the whole thing. We ask for a picture they sent it but just one side THATS IT! So we were VERY stressed out til it was delivered. It turned out it was false alarm. It was VERY hard to communicate with them because we could NOT understand what they were saying. Would I use them again? HELL NO. I paid to be stress free not for the headache and to be stressed out. Why I chose 3 stars because of Topline Group. But 4 1/2 stars for Arman.
