What is door to door vs. terminal to terminal service?
If your auto transporter offers complete door-to-door service, a local truck is dispatched to your home or desired location and the vehicle is also dropped off at your precise destination. The car transport driver will get as close to your door as he can legally and safely get. Many cities have restrictions on large trucks that prohibit them from driving into some residential areas. Transport trucks are enormous and need lots of room to maneuver and turn around, so if access to your home is restricted by narrow streets, low-hanging trees, speed bumps or tight turns, the driver may ask that you meet the truck at a large parking lot nearby such as a grocery store. If your auto shipper does not provide door-to-door service, cannot pick up your vehicle due to scheduling conflicts, or if your vehicle is not located in an accessible area, terminal service may be necessary. In this case, you may be required to drop off your vehicle at a terminal and pick up the vehicle at another terminal clo
