What is door-to-door auto transport?

Door-to-door car shipping is exactly what it sounds like: a professional carrier picks up your vehicle at your pickup address and delivers it directly to your destination address. No terminals, no drop-offs, no extra steps. It's the most convenient and most popular way to ship a car anywhere in the United States.

At TS Fast Auto Logistics, we coordinate every detail for you: assigning a vetted, fully insured carrier, confirming the pickup window, and keeping you informed from dispatch to delivery. You only pay once your vehicle is safely on its way.

Why choose door-to-door transport?

Door-to-door shipping is ideal for most customers because it saves time, eliminates extra logistics, and reduces the risk of damage from unnecessary loading and unloading. It's also the most flexible option for residential pickups and deliveries where you'd rather not drive to a terminal.

Our carriers are equipped to handle tight residential streets, gated communities, and apartment complexes. In rare cases where a full-size carrier can't access a street, we arrange a nearby meeting point with your approval.

Pricing for door-to-door transport

The cost of door-to-door shipping depends on distance, vehicle size, transport type (open or enclosed), and current market rates. Typical estimates:

Over 1,500 miles: about $1.00 per mile, for standard vehicles under 7,000 lbs
1,500 miles or less: an estimated range online, then your confirmed price by email within 2 business hours
Commercial or over 7,000 lbs: a custom quote from an advisor

These are estimates only. The final price is confirmed after your quote is reviewed. Our 30-day TruePrice Guarantee locks your quoted price so it won't increase after booking.

Door-to-Door FAQ

Door-to-door shipping questions

Can a full-size carrier reach my street?

In most cases, yes. Our carriers are experienced with tight residential streets, apartment complexes, and gated communities. If a full-size carrier cannot safely access your street, we'll arrange a nearby meeting point (often a large parking lot or shopping center) that's easy for both you and the driver.

Do I have to be home for pickup and delivery?

You don't have to be present, but it's recommended. Being there lets you inspect the vehicle before and after transport, sign the Bill of Lading, and hand over or receive the keys. If you can't be there, you can designate a trusted person to represent you. Just let us know in advance.

How long does door-to-door shipping take?

Transit time depends on distance. Local shipments take 1-2 days, regional shipments 2-4 days, and coast-to-coast shipments 5-8 days. Pickup usually happens within 1-3 business days after booking.

Is door-to-door more expensive than terminal-to-terminal?

Yes, door-to-door shipping costs slightly more than terminal- to-terminal, because the carrier is making an extra stop at your address. The difference is usually small (often $100-$200) and many customers find the convenience worth it.
