About Terminal-to-Terminal
Terminal service lets you leave the vehicle at a secured lot on your own schedule and collect it from another lot at the far end. It suits people who cannot be present for a delivery window or who are traveling on a different date than the vehicle. Because most modern routes are door-to-door, we quote terminal service on request rather than by default.

Our Process
How It Works
Four steps from quote to delivery. Nothing is charged until a carrier is assigned to your vehicle.
Get your price
Enter your pickup and delivery ZIP codes. The calculator prices the real road distance between them and returns an open and enclosed figure in seconds.
Book your date
Confirm the details with a coordinator and pick a date. Nothing is charged until a carrier is assigned to your vehicle.
Pickup & inspection
The driver calls ahead, inspects the vehicle with you and records its condition on the Bill of Lading. You both sign it.
Delivery
The driver calls again before arrival. Inspect the vehicle against the same report, sign, pay the balance and you are done.
Available Nationwide
We run terminal-to-terminal in all 50 states.

Is terminal service cheaper?
Rarely, once storage fees are counted. It mostly buys schedule flexibility, not savings.
How long can the car sit at a terminal?
Most terminals include a few free days, then charge a daily storage rate.
