Terminal to terminal auto transport means that you will be responsible to take the car to a terminal from where it can be picked by the carrier. The carrier will transport the vehicle to another terminal close to your destination, from where you can pick it up. But if a situation arises when you want your car to be picked up on a particular day but your agent may not be able to find a carrier. In such a situation it would be better to drop you car to the nearest terminal where it can patiently wait for the carrier. If you want your car to be picked up on a particular day then you have to talk to your shipping agent. The agent will speak to the carrier who will try to design a new strategy to accommodate your request. But the prices will increase in such a situation.
