Door-to-Door Car Shipping
We pick up and deliver as close to your front door as the truck can legally and safely get. No terminals, no extra trips.
Door-to-door car shipping — no terminals, no hassle
Door-to-door means exactly what it sounds like: the carrier picks your vehicle up at your home, office or dealership and delivers it directly to the destination address. You never drop your car at a terminal, and you never pay for a tow to one.
It's the default on every Horizon shipment, at no extra charge.
How door-to-door works
- You give us two addresses. Pickup and delivery — residential, commercial, a storage unit, a port, a base.
- The driver calls ahead. Usually 12–24 hours before arrival, then again when they're close.
- Meet, inspect, sign. You (or anyone you designate, 18+) walk around the car with the driver and sign the inspection report.
- Delivery works the same way at the other end.
Why customers prefer door-to-door
- No terminal storage fees or extra transfers
- Less handling means less risk
- Flexible: someone else can release or receive the vehicle for you
- Works for apartments, rural addresses and military bases

Do I have to be there for pickup and delivery?
Someone 18 or older needs to be present to sign the inspection report. It can be a friend, family member, neighbor, or building manager.
What if the truck can't reach my street?
The driver will coordinate a nearby, safe meeting point — usually a large parking lot within a few miles. There is no extra charge.
Can you deliver to a storage facility or dealership?
Yes, as long as the facility is open and someone can sign for the vehicle at drop-off.
