distance
Longer distances reduce cost per mile but increase total price.
vehicle type
SUVs and trucks cost more due to size and weight.
time of year
Snowbird season and summer months have higher demand.

I needed to ship a large SUV (private car) from Boston to Charlotte, and found Rivalane through online search (I also wanted to avoid the big, national companies). Kris Wolf worked with me to find the carrier to pick up and deliver the car in the timeframe I desired.

I spoke with a lot of companies before reaching out to Rivalane. All the other companies I didn’t feel confident with. This company seemed clear, straight forward and professional. My driver was very helpful, and stayed in contact with me all the time. I had already left when he picked up my car with my family and I give them 5 stars. Thank you 😊

They helped transport my car from Commack, New York to Florida, and the entire process was smooth and stress free. Their professionalism and communication stood out, and I always felt informed and confident that my car was in good hands. I highly recommend Rivalane to anyone looking for reliable and professional vehicle transport services.

Jose C. was the most conscientious, polite, patient, respectable, amicable, punctual & vivacious delivery driver in the entire world. He truly went above & beyond for my husband & I by allowing me patiently go in to panic mode and reassured me all will be well as he waited on me. If he can be cloned, please get the process rolling because many people would benefit from his amazing worth ethic and dedicated mannerisms.
