Pros
Cons
Our car shipping quotes are presumed to be door-to-door unless you specify otherwise. This means, whenever possible, movers will pick up and deliver your vehicles at your residence, office, or any other place you designate.
United only offers door-to-door auto transport service when it is permitted by local ordinances. Because many cities and municipalities restrict oversize vehicles (car transport equipment) from making deliveries in residential neighborhoods, your United move specialist will work with you to explore alternatives, if needed.
Additionally, drivers need plenty of room to maneuver and turn around. If your residence is restricted by narrow streets, low-hanging trees, speed bumps, or tight turns, the driver may ask that you designate an alternative delivery site or a terminal pickup.

Also referred to as dock-to-dock, terminal-to-terminal car shipping involves pick up and/or delivery to or from a regional storage facility. If you are planning a long-distance move, terminal-to-terminal auto shipping may be the best option for you. This type of service allows for flexible drop-off and storage before and after transportation. Your United move specialist can provide more information on terminal-to-terminal car shipping and help you decide if it is the best choice for you.
