What is car transport from door to door?
Door-to-door auto transport is exactly what the name suggests. Your vehicle is picked up from your home and delivered directly to your final destination by one of our professional carriers, eliminating the need for additional terminals or stops. It’s the most convenient way to ship your car. Simply provide the transportation company with the exact addresses for pick-up and delivery, and your vehicle will be transported as close to your specified location as possible.
This service is particularly beneficial for those with busy schedules or people living in rural areas where terminals might not be nearby. Snowbirds, who prefer not to drive their car to their winter homes, can also benefit from door-to-door delivery. Save time, money, and avoid unnecessary hassle by choosing door-to-door delivery for your next auto shipment.
Do You Offer Door-to-Door Auto Transport?
We always offer door-to-door service because it’s the easiest way to have a vehicle delivered directly to your location. The only exceptions are international shipments or deliveries to and from Hawaii. With door-to-door transport, you don't need to worry about driving to a terminal. Just be sure to be present, or have a representative available, at both the pick-up and delivery locations you’ve chosen.
Is door-to-door auto shipping the least expensive option?
There are many ways to ship a vehicle, including by rail, air, hiring a driver, or doing it yourself. However, each of these options typically requires getting your car to a terminal, station, or port, which incurs additional costs.
While driving yourself may seem like a cheaper option, you’ll need to account for fuel, food, rest stops, and extra wear and tear on your vehicle. Hiring a professional driver is often more expensive than opting for door-to-door shipping.
Door-to-door shipping tends to offer the best value. With us, you’ll get competitive rates paired with exceptional customer service, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish.
What is Terminal-to-Terminal Car Shipping?
Terminal-to-terminal shipping involves dropping off and picking up your vehicle from a designated carrier’s lot or storage facility. While this may work for some, it’s not recommended for most, as terminals are often located far from your actual destination.
What Affects the Cost of Door-to-Door Auto Transport?
The cost of door-to-door shipping varies based on several factors. Smaller cars generally cost less to transport, while shorter distances reduce overall shipping fees. Expedited shipping increases costs, and open-car shipping tends to be the most affordable option.

For the most affordable shipping, consider booking during the summer when conditions are more favorable. Summer typically offers safer, more predictable driving conditions compared to winter, reducing the risk of delays caused by snow, ice, or severe weather. This season also brings higher demand for auto transport, meaning more carriers are available and routes are often more flexible. With more trucks on the road and favorable conditions, carriers can operate more efficiently, which can help keep shipping costs lower and provide better opportunities for competitive pricing.
