2. Sometimes Door to Door Auto Transport is just not possible.
Although it is a standard practice to give you door to door auto transport services, there are some instances when its simply not possible. Yes your vehicle will always remain on the auto carrier, but sometimes because auto transport trucks are very long and need space to maneuver it’s impossible to get to your front door. Low clearance, dead ends, and small streets are just a few reasons why they wouldn’t be able to deliver directly to your door. Its unfortunate and heart breaking but if this does happen in your case, the auto carrier will meet you at a nearby location that’s suitable for both you and them.
