An auto transport terminal is essentially a vehicle storage facility. If you are unable to meet the car carrier to pick up or drop off your vehicle, an auto transport terminal can be used to to store the car before pick-up and/or after delivery. This is called terminal-to-terminal shipping.
This option gives the carrier a place to pick up your car, for example, if you need to leave town before the scheduled pickup. Similarly, if you are not be able to meet the driver upon delivery, you may choose to have your vehicle delivered to a terminal facility to hold it until you are able to pick it up.
If you need to use a terminal for pick-up and/or drop-off, there may be a charge for each day it is stored at the terminal facility. Be sure to let you auto transport company know if you want to use a terminal on pickup or delivery, so they can provide you with an accurate quote.
