Understanding the Service
Does Door-to-Door Mean the Truck Comes Directly to My House?
In many cases, yes. However, large auto transport trucks need enough space to safely enter, turn, load, and unload.
If your street has low-hanging trees, weight restrictions, narrow roads, tight turns, apartment access restrictions, or other obstacles, the driver may ask to meet you at a nearby safe location such as a large parking lot.
That is still considered door-to-door vehicle transport because the carrier is bringing the vehicle as close to your requested addresses as practical rather than requiring terminal pickup.
