Although the concept of car shipping may seem simple, car owners often find many of the decisions they have to make confusing. For example, what’s the difference between terminal and door-to-door service and how do these choices impact you?
Terminal Shipping
Many car shipping companies use terminals to coordinate their loads. A terminal is often simply a big parking lot. The car owner drops the car off at a terminal near the starting point. The car is held there until sufficient vehicles are heading in the same direction. The vehicles are all loaded on a truck which drives to a terminal near the destination where the owner can pick it up.
Some shippers offer discounts for terminal-to-terminal auto transport. This is a convenient method for people who live in dense downtown areas where door-to-door service might be impossible.
On the other hand, the car may sit in the terminal for days, subject to theft and vandalism. The terminals have better security than the owner’s garage, but the concentration of cars is a tempting target for criminals.

I imagine it would be quite a daunting task for someone who has never shipped a car before. Hence I decided to write a short guide that focus on the most crucial things to take note of based on my experiences.
Car Shipping Quote
The first thing to do is to determine your budget and then get a shipping quote. I usually get quotes from five different companies before narrowing my options. If the destination you are shipping to is remote or out of the “common” routes, be prepared to pay a lot more. Common routes are frequently traveled destinations by shipping companies usually major cities and ports. Some shipping quotes will indicate whether the shipping route is common or out of the way.
Car Shipping Season
I did not realize that car shipping is seasonal until one of the shipping company told me.
