Door-to-Door vs. Terminal-to-Terminal

Most national carriers only offer one option. DQ Trans LLC gives you both — so you can pick the trade-off between convenience and cost that fits your move.

Terminal-to-Terminal

Drop off and pick up at a secure storage terminal

  • Generally the lower-cost option
  • Good fit for flexible timelines
  • You drop off and pick up the vehicle yourself
  • Vehicle may sit in storage until the carrier is full
  • Terminal may not be near your home

Not sure which fits your move? Tell us your pickup and delivery locations and timeline — we'll recommend the option that makes sense, not just the one that's easiest for us.

How Enclosed Transport Works

The same careful process every time, whether it's a classic, an exotic, or a daily luxury driver.

1

Get Your Quote

Share your vehicle's details, value, and pickup/delivery locations for an accurate estimate.

2

Carrier Matched

We assign a carrier experienced with enclosed, high-value shipments — no payment until then.

3

Careful Loading

Low-clearance vehicles are loaded via lift gate instead of ramps, then secured inside the enclosed trailer.

4

Delivery & Inspection

Your vehicle arrives shielded from the elements the entire way, with a final inspection at drop-off.

What Determines Enclosed Transport Cost

Enclosed transport costs more than open transport, mainly because fewer enclosed carriers operate nationwide and each trailer holds fewer vehicles. Your exact rate depends on:

  • DistanceLike any shipment, longer routes cost less per mile than short ones.
  • Vehicle Value & TypeHigher-value vehicles may call for single-car trailers or extra securing steps.
  • Ground ClearanceVery low vehicles may require lift-gate loading, which not every enclosed carrier offers.
  • Timing & AvailabilityFewer enclosed carriers are on the road, so flexible dates help secure better rates.

Yes. Every carrier in our network is FMCSA-licensed and required to carry cargo insurance for the full duration of your shipment. You’ll also get a joint inspection report at pickup and at delivery, so any pre-existing condition is documented before the vehicle ever leaves your driveway.

Pickup from your specified address, transport by a vetted carrier, and delivery to your specified destination address — as close as the driver can safely and legally get. If local restrictions block direct access (narrow streets, low-hanging trees, tight turns), the driver will ask you to meet at a nearby open location like a large parking lot.

With terminal-to-terminal shipping, you drop off and pick up your vehicle at a storage facility yourself, and it may wait there until the carrier’s truck is full. Door-to-door skips that step entirely — the driver comes to you on both ends, and typically starts moving your vehicle sooner. It generally costs somewhat more, but saves the extra driving and wait time.

Your vehicle is covered by the assigned carrier’s cargo insurance for the entire shipment. DQ Trans LLC also vets every carrier’s coverage before assigning them to your order, so you’re never left checking that piece yourself.

Door-to-door service covers the continental United States. It isn’t available for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or international shipments — those routes ship by ocean freight through a port instead. Check the linked pages for how each of those works.

Open transport is the more affordable, most common option and fine for the large majority of daily-driver vehicles. Enclosed transport costs more but fully shields the vehicle from weather and road debris — worth it for classic, luxury, or high-value cars. A DQ Trans LLC rep can help you decide based on your specific vehicle.
