Terminal-to-Terminal auto shipping is used by high-volume car shipping companies and can be utilized for a cheaper way to transport your vehicle. A terminal is a regional storage facility. Oftentimes, vehicles are stored in a towing company’s secure lot, which is usually located in a large metropolitan area. Carriers transport cars to and from these terminals to combine shipments going to the same general area, so terminal shipping is often less expensive than Door-to-Door service.
