FAQ
Questions we get asked
What is terminal to terminal car shipping?
You drop the car off at a carrier terminal and pick it up at the terminal nearest where it is going, instead of having it collected and delivered at an address. Ours run on full 9-car loads between our terminals in Kings Park, West Hartford, Fort Lauderdale, Tacoma and Philadelphia.
What is a car terminal?
A terminal is a yard where we stage vehicles and put them into full loads, and where you can drop off or pick up a car. We have terminals in Kings Park, West Hartford, Fort Lauderdale, Tacoma and Philadelphia, and the lanes between them are where our 9-car carriers run.
Can I drop off and pick up my car at the terminal myself?
Yes. You bring the car to our terminal and collect it at the terminal at the other end. Dispatch tells you when to bring it in and when it is ready, and the car is photo-inspected at drop-off and pickup.
Is terminal to terminal car shipping cheaper than door to door?
Usually, yes. When you drop off and pick up at our terminals, no local 2-car truck has to come to your address, so you pay less. The price depends on the lane, the vehicle and the timing. Send the details through our free quote form and dispatch will come back to you.
How long does terminal to terminal car shipping take?
It depends on the lane and on how soon a full 9-car load fills between the two terminals. Tell dispatch the lane and they will give you a window. Call dispatch on +1 (516) 464 8414. A dispatcher answers 24/7.
Do terminal to terminal and door to door use the same trucks?
Not quite. Local 2-car units handle pickups and deliveries at an address and stage cars at our terminals. The 9-car carriers run the full loads between terminals.
Shipping a car between our terminals?
Tell us where the car starts and where it is going. Shipping several cars? Send us your lanes. A dispatcher answers 24/7.
