Our shipping partners do provide door to door shipping. However, terminal to terminal is more cost effective. When our carrier drivers can pick up and/or drop off several vehicles in one location it saves time and fuel cost. We want you to know that open transport will be less expensive than closed transport. Open trailers have more space, seven to thirteen spaces vs one to three in a closed trailer. The cost will vary depending on the body type of your vehicle and accessories. Larger trucks and SUV’s, extended bumpers, oversized tires, lift kits, etc. increase the cost of shipping. Our auto shipping partners can load and unload non-operable vehicles that are not drivable, non-steering or non-braking. Due to the difficulty in moving these vehicles the cost may be higher. We want to make it easier for you to plan your shipment. Please keep in mind that seasonal fluctuation can increase cost due to the number of snowbird transports.
