Many large shipping companies provide terminal-to-terminal shipping at affordable rates. A terminal is a regional storage facility, its normally located in a large metro area.  This allows the possibility for cars to be shipped to and from a terminal carrier.  This allows one to consolidate shipments going to the same area. Terminal-to-terminal shipping is less expensive than traditional door-to-door.

The advantage of terminal-to-terminal shipping is that it allows you to drop off or pick up a car on a specific date and time. Your car can be dropped off at the terminal and stored until a driver is available to pick it up. Once your car is actually delivered, a representative will notify you, and your car can be stored until you are available to pick it up.
