Driver got lost. Had to track him down on a very busy highway, where he had parked the auto carrier and our car in the left hand turning lane, with cars zipping by us. Driver very annoyed. When we were picked up in Florida, along with a friend and his car, the driver could not put his car on the carrier because it had a bike rack and bike on the back. Montway had told us it would be no problem, and we even paid an extra $100. We had to figure out how to take the bike apart and carry the remains in both cars.

Montway's communication moving our cars has been absolutely terrible. One car arrived a week early on Saturday night when we weren't in town to receive it. the other car has taken over two weeks and the delivery date slipped 5 times. They were routinely unable to tell me when the car would arrive, citing "drive phone problems" and "truck problems". Finally they gave me the driver's phone number, though he did not return my voice messages. We've now sat around our apartment for 7 straight days waiting for the car that's going to arrive "any minute now". I strongly recommend not using Montway.

Went well with the exception of a lost key for a tool box in back of truck. My son had to pay $80.00 to have box re-keyed. The company did offer me $20.00 before I knew what the real cost was.

Everyone on this website please note: Montway, and many of the other companies, are brokers not car transporters. They do not own car carrier trucks nor do they employ drivers. They connect you with a driver/truck who will pick up and deliver your vehicle. As such, the service and reliablity is unique to each driver and their particular schedule. On the way to California, the car was picked up and delivered promptly. On the way back there were delays as the driver took a seemingly circuitous route through Florida. Car delivered intact, no damage.
Response from Montway Auto Transport
"Hello [Member Name Removed], Montway truly appreciates you taking the time to submit a review about your experience. Please know your feedback is taken very seriously. We welcome any recommendations that help to improve the quality of our services for our customers. We are a licensed broker and a licensed motor carrier as stated on our website. In the event that our carrier division is not operating your route, we will assign your vehicle to one of our carriers in our network. Our Compliance Team makes sure that all of our carriers have the valid insurance and active permits needed prior to assigning any vehicle to them. We also offer mediation assistance should you encounter any issues with the carrier. The typical transit time for this route is 7-9 days from pickup. Your vehicle was picked up 12/14 and delivered 12/24 in CA. Travel time can vary for any number of reasons, many beyond the trucker themselves control. We allow up to a couple days of leniency due to this. Montway most certainly apologizes for the inconveniences. We care about our customers and try to provide the best service possible. If there is anything else we can assist you with please let us know as we'd be glad to help."

The process was fairly easy. They stayed in touch with me throughout the entire process and the driver called the night before to give me an ETA. My mom's car was not loaded onto a big truck, but more like a tow truck. The car arrived without an issues. I highly recommend you inspect your vehicle closely BEFORE you sign any papers. Our driver handed us the papers and told us to sign it so that he could get the car down and unhook it. I thought this was normal, but realized that I signed saying nothing was wrong with the car before I actually has a chance to look at it. Luckily the only thing was the rearview mirror had fallen off. Not a biggie.

Approximately $1300 of damage occurred while my car was being transported across the country using Montway's Auto Transport Service. The car was very dirty when it arrived. I washed it that day and found damage not noted on the pre-shipping bill of lading. I called Montway that day. I quickly provided all documentation, and had to wait nearly 2 months to hear back. The claim was rejected. They stated that the pictures that I sent from the dealer, pre-shipping, were not clear. The bill of lading filled out by the transport company should be the ultimate document. Despite the website's claims of insurance, they will not stand behind their service. I would not use this company again, nor recommend them to others.
Response from Montway Auto Transport
"We regret to learn of the shipper's dissatisfaction with the service they received. After further review of this order, the shipper's/designate's signature is applied at delivery, without damages notated in the presence of the driver. A signature was applied directly below a statement indicating, "The Customer/Consignee hereby acknowledges and represents that he or she has received this vehicle in the same condition as it had previously been delivered to the Transporter except as noted above and hereby released the Broker and Transporter from any claims for damage to the Vehicle." Secondly, the damage was reported after delivery - The vehicle has been out of the carrier's possession and it cannot be determined whether the damage found is attributed to transport as the vehicle was documented to have been received in good condition without any damages found. We definitely apologize for your experience; however, Montway does not makeup industry rules as we are governed by USDOT regulation. By way of Federal Law via the Carmack Amendment to the Interstate Commerce act, terms of transport, including damages, are dictated; therefore we have no control over that aspect. We understand that shipping a vehicle is not common for most, so we understand the reviewer's frustrations and apologize for any inconveniences they experienced."

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! They did not pick up my car until one week AFTER I had to leave LA. I had nowhere to leave my car because I moved out of apartment and couldn't leave it on the street. I couldn't wait for car to be picked up because I had no place to live and a plane ticket back to NY. I had to scramble to find someplace to leave my car and had to greatly inconvenience another person to wait for the trucker to pick it up not really knowing when that would be. To top it off I had to agree to pick the car up 1 hour away from my house in another state in order to get it on the truck going east. Again a major inconvenience. I paid for door-to-door service. When I asked for compensation they told me there was nothing they could do but they would send me a $50 gift card. Never got it. I also had to spend $600 to rent a car in NY because my car arrived back so late. DO NOT USE THEM. They really dropped the ball in scheduling my transport. On the plus side, when my car was finally picked up and delivered the actual trucker was great and very accommodating.
Response from Montway Auto Transport
"We appreciate you sharing your experience. We regret to learn that you were unsatisfied with the service received with the transport of your vehicle.Please note Montway dates are estimated and not guaranteed. We do ask for 1 to [Member Information Removed] business day pickup window from the first available date. This information is provided at the time of booking, listed on our website and all email communications.We understand that most of our customers have time restraints and although we do our very best to make accommodations we cannot guarantee dates. Unfortunately, we can not control the different factors they may encounter during transit. Records show your order was created on 3/30/17 with a first available date of 6/9/17.We understand that you booked your order in advance but carriers do not schedule vehicles that far ahead as they can not predict what will happen along the way per the many factors causing delays( traffic delays/detours, weather delays, mandatory rest stops, weight station check-ups, truck breakdowns, driver's health issues, etc). Placing an order weeks ahead of time may seem helpful, however in the auto transport industry, schedules are not pre-made that far in advance, as availability fluctuates daily, as well as pricing. On 6/16/17(6th business day) you were assigned a carrier company and were informed of the estimated pick up and delivery dates. In the event, a customer is not available to release or accept their vehicle we do request you to find a designated person at least 18 years of age to take your place. In regards to the door to door, we do apologize as carrier trucks are enormous drivers do the best they can to get as close to your home as he can legally and safely get. Many cities have restrictions on large trucks that prohibit them from driving into some residential areas. Further information about our door to door policy can be found on our website. We ask that every customer and/or potential customer please take the time and review all information on our website to ensure they completely understand our terms prior to booking. We have shared your review with the assigned carrier company as well as our staff. Records show a member of our team reached out to you 7/11/17 in regards to your concerns as we would love the opportunity to make things right. We do ask shall there are any further questions/concerns that you please contact us directly as we would be more than happy to assist you. We thank you for your time and consideration."

Car damaged by company called Multi Transport that was brokered out by Montway. Now I have $800.00 bill to pay for the repairing of my car. Montway is just a broker. Multi Transport would not reimburse. They wanted me to drive over a100 miles one way for a complimentary repair. RIDICULOUS
Response from Montway Auto Transport
"Hello, We do apologize but we are unable to find a transport that was completed on 6/23/2017. We did, however, find your auto transport that was completed on 02/02/2017. After our team reviewed your order it seems that we were never contacted by you to make us aware that there was an issue with the transport. We are terribly sorry to hear of this, and we thank you for informing us of the damage. Damage is not common and we are sorry to learn that you encountered this several months ago. We have an in-house Claims department that provides assistance. As well as detailed steps and documentation for filing a formal insurance claim. We ask that the customer contact us directly for further questions/concerns, Thank you."

Went very well. They picked up my car the exact day they said they would, it was delivered in 5 days at my door. My only negative was my car was covered in oil, because it was on the bottom. But after a ride through the car wash, it was fine. Best experience I've ever had with a car transport. Great price, too. Very very pleased.

Horrible! The company quotes you a price and a window of 2-3 days that the vehicle will be picked up and then they tell you they will contact you when they have a driver. They then wait until 24 hours until the last day of the window and call you saying they have a driver but the price is now $$$ more, BAIT AND SWITCH!!! BEWARE! However, once finally scheduled the driver was punctual, professional and friendly and the car was transported with no further problems. Due to the bait and switch in pricing and the last minute stress of scheduling with multiple phone calls and pricing games, I would not hire this company again. They made me fill vulnerable as it was to late to hire someone else, angry, and stressed.
