Door-to-door service aims to reduce hassle by bringing the transport directly to you.
This method of auto transport is popular among door to door auto transport individuals relocating across states, car dealerships, military personnel, snowbirds (people who move seasonally between colder and warmer climates), and even people purchasing vehicles online or at auctions. It offers a higher level of convenience and flexibility compared to other methods.
Here’s how the process works: After booking a door-to-door auto transport service, the carrier or broker arranges for a driver to pick up your vehicle at the agreed location. The driver inspects the vehicle, documents its condition, and loads it onto a transport truck. The car is then transported to the delivery address, where a similar inspection is conducted upon arrival. You or a designated representative must be present at both pickup and delivery points to hand off and receive the vehicle.
Door-to-door transport can be done using either an open or enclosed carrier. Open carriers are more common and affordable, but your vehicle will be exposed to weather and road debris. Enclosed carriers offer more protection and are typically used for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles, though they come at a higher cost.
The cost of door-to-door auto transport depends on several factors, including the distance, vehicle size and type, transport method (open or enclosed), current fuel prices, and even seasonal demand.
