Door to Door vs. Terminal to Terminal Vehicle Shipping

When considering different auto shipping options for your vehicle, make sure you understand that all shipping quotes may not be the same. Many companies, especially high volume, low cost operations, will provide quotes for what is known as "terminal to terminal" service.

A terminal is typically located in a large metropolitan area, one that serves as a transportation hub for a particular region. Shippers can pick-up and deliver from these areas at a lower cost for a number of reasons, mainly that the routes are established and high traffic, thus simplifying and shortening the process.

All quotes on ShipVehicles are for door to door delivery. This means the truck will get as close to the pick-up point and delivery point as possible, saving a lot of time and energy on your part. If the vehicle is in or is bound for a residential area with tight streets, shippers may not be able to deliver the car to an exact address because they will not be able to take their large trucks and trailers down small streets.

At MoveVehicles.com we feel that door to door auto transport and motorcycle shipping is not only easier, but also more economical. W hen you figure in all the time and logistics involved in shipping a vehicle using terminal to terminal service, door to door shipping just makes more sense.
