Understanding the difference can help you decide which option is best for your needs.

Door-to-Door Vehicle Transport

Door-to-door transport involves collecting the vehicle from your home, workplace, or dealership and delivering it directly to your destination.

Benefits include:

• – Maximum convenience
• – No need to travel to depots
• – Faster and simpler process
• – Most convenient option, often an overnight service is possible
• – Saves time
• – Have your vehicle available for use until it is collected
• – Car is only driven up and down the car carrier trailer.

In some cases, large transport trucks may not be able to access narrow residential streets. In these situations, the driver may arrange a nearby meeting point.

Depot-to-Depot Transport

With depot transport, the vehicle owner delivers the car to a transport depot and collects it at another depot at the destination.

Advantages include:

• – Sometimes slightly lower cost
• – Good for flexible schedules

However, this option requires additional travel and time.

Disadvantages

• – Can take longer
• – Some companies wait for a full load before leaving, adding up to a week for transport
• – Requires travel to and from depots
• – Cars might be moved around a few times before it is loaded
