The Easy Way to Ship Your Vehicle
When you need to move a vehicle from one state to another, driving it yourself isn’t always the best option. Long-distance driving can add unnecessary mileage, fuel costs, hotel expenses, and wear and tear to your vehicle. With LISCA Auto Transport, our door-to-door auto transport service makes vehicle shipping easier by arranging pickup and delivery at locations that are convenient for you.
Whether you’re moving across the country, buying a vehicle online, sending a car to a family member, relocating for work, or transporting a luxury vehicle, our team can help coordinate the entire process.
What Is Door-to-Door Auto Transport?
Door-to-door auto transport means the carrier picks up your vehicle as close as safely and legally possible to the address you provide and delivers it as close as possible to your destination address.
Unlike terminal-to-terminal shipping, you don’t have to drive your vehicle to a shipping terminal and return later to another terminal to pick it up. The carrier comes directly to your requested pickup area and transports the vehicle to its destination.
In most cases, pickup and delivery can happen directly at a home, business, dealership, or other accessible location.
Large auto transport trucks need enough space to safely enter, turn, load, and unload. If your street has low-hanging trees, narrow roads, weight restrictions, tight turns, or other obstacles, the driver may arrange to meet you at a nearby parking lot or another safe location.
How Does Door-to-Door Car Shipping Work?
The process is designed to be simple.
First, provide LISCA Auto Transport with your pickup and delivery locations, vehicle information, and preferred pickup date. We’ll help arrange a carrier based on your route and transportation needs.
Before pickup, you should remove valuable personal belongings and check the condition of your vehicle. The driver will inspect the vehicle at pickup and document its condition before loading it onto the carrier.
Your vehicle is then transported toward the destination. When the driver gets close to delivery, you’ll coordinate a convenient meeting location. Another inspection can be completed at delivery so you can confirm the condition of your vehicle.
Open vs. Enclosed Door-to-Door Transport
Customers can choose between open auto transport and enclosed auto transport depending on their vehicle and budget.
Open transport is the most common option. Vehicles are transported on an open carrier similar to the trucks commonly seen delivering vehicles to dealerships. It’s generally the more affordable choice for everyday cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, and other standard vehicles.
Enclosed transport provides additional protection by transporting your vehicle inside an enclosed trailer. It is a popular option for exotic, luxury, classic, collectible, modified, and high-value vehicles.
Our team can help you determine which option makes the most sense for your vehicle.
Why Choose Door-to-Door Auto Transport?
One of the biggest benefits is convenience. Instead of putting hundreds or thousands of miles on your vehicle, you can have a professional carrier transport it for you.
Door-to-door service can also help you avoid spending several days driving across the country. You won’t have to plan hotels, fuel stops, meals, or additional time away from work.
It’s especially useful for people who are relocating, college students moving to another state, military personnel, dealerships, online vehicle buyers, seasonal residents, and families sending vehicles to relatives.
Can You Ship an SUV, Truck, Motorcycle, or Non-Running Vehicle?
Yes. Door-to-door transportation isn’t limited to standard cars. LISCA Auto Transport can help arrange transportation for many types of vehicles, including:
- Cars, SUVs and pickup trucks
- Luxury and exotic vehicles
- Classic and collectible cars
- Motorcycles and ATVs
- Golf carts
- Non-running vehicles
- Dealership and auction vehicles
Non-running vehicles may require additional equipment, such as a winch, so it’s important to tell us about the vehicle’s condition before booking.
How Long Does Door-to-Door Auto Transport Take?
Transportation time depends on the distance, route, weather, traffic, carrier availability, and other conditions.
Standard pickup is generally arranged within a 1–7 day pickup window. Customers who need faster service can also ask about expedited shipping, with a 1–3 day pickup window available for an additional charge.
Once your vehicle has been picked up, longer routes naturally require more transit time than shorter routes. Your LISCA Auto Transport representative can provide an estimated timeframe based on your specific route.
Preparing Your Vehicle for Pickup
Before the carrier arrives, make sure your vehicle is ready to be transported. Remove valuable belongings, make sure the tires are properly inflated, and check that the vehicle doesn’t have any major leaks.
You should also take clear pictures of the vehicle before pickup. The carrier will perform a vehicle inspection and document its condition as part of the pickup process.
If the vehicle is modified, lowered, oversized, or unable to run, tell us in advance. Providing accurate information helps us arrange the appropriate carrier and equipment.
