What Is Door-to-Door Auto Transport?
Door-to-door auto transport means the assigned motor carrier attempts to collect and deliver your vehicle as close as safely and legally possible to the addresses you provide.
Large auto carriers may not be able to enter narrow streets, restricted communities, low-clearance areas or locations with limited turning space. When direct access is not practical, you and the carrier can coordinate a nearby accessible meeting point.
Convenient Location Coordination
Pickup and delivery are coordinated near the locations you provide, subject to safe and legal carrier access.
Less Terminal Handling
Your vehicle is generally collected and delivered without requiring you to use a traditional vehicle shipping terminal.
Open or Enclosed Options
Choose the transport type that better suits your vehicle, route and preferred level of protection.
Vehicle Condition Documentation
Review and record the vehicle’s condition with the assigned carrier at pickup and delivery.
Flexible Meeting Points
When a carrier cannot safely access the requested address, a nearby open location can be coordinated.
Shipment Communication
Receive relevant pickup, transportation and estimated delivery information when it becomes available.
Compare Your Options
Door-to-Door vs. Terminal-to-Terminal Car Shipping
Both options can be used to coordinate vehicle transportation, but they differ in where the vehicle is collected and delivered and how much travel may be required from the customer.

Pickup and Delivery Access
How Door-to-Door Pickup Locations Are Chosen
Door-to-door transport does not always mean that a large auto carrier can stop directly in front of a home. The assigned motor carrier reviews the requested location and coordinates the closest practical place for safe and legal loading or unloading.
01
You Provide the Requested Locations
Submit the preferred pickup and delivery addresses with your quote request or booking information.
02
Carrier Access Is Reviewed
The assigned motor carrier considers street access, vehicle size, clearance, traffic conditions and available loading space.
03
Direct Access Is Confirmed When Practical
When the requested location can safely and legally accommodate the carrier, pickup or delivery may be coordinated near that address.
04
A Nearby Meeting Point May Be Arranged
When direct access is not practical, you and the carrier can agree on a nearby open location suitable for vehicle loading or unloading.
What Can Affect Carrier Access?
Street Width
Large auto carriers need sufficient space to enter, position and leave the area safely.
Turning Space
Cul-de-sacs, dead-end roads and tight intersections may not provide enough room for a long carrier.
Overhead Clearance
Low trees, bridges, utility lines, parking structures and other overhead restrictions can limit access.
Legal Loading Areas
The carrier must avoid stopping where loading is prohibited or where the truck would block traffic.
Community Restrictions
Gated communities, homeowner-association rules and restricted roads may limit commercial-truck access.
Traffic and Safety Conditions
Busy roads, steep areas, poor visibility or heavy traffic may make another meeting point more appropriate.
Examples of More Accessible Meeting Points
When the requested address cannot accommodate the carrier, a nearby location may be selected by mutual agreement.
A wide public street where loading is legally permitted
A large open parking area with appropriate permission
A truck-accessible business or shopping location
Another open location agreed upon with the assigned carrier
Permission and local restrictions should be respected before using a parking area or other meeting point.
