Am I the only one who switched to terminal to terminal shipping after a dispatcher in Laredo saved me $400?
I used to think terminal to terminal car shipping was a dumb idea. I always did door to door because it felt safer, like the driver was babysitting my car the whole way. Last year I bought a beat up Miata in Phoenix and needed it in Chicago, and the door to door quotes were all around $950. A dispatcher in Laredo I called just to get one more price asked if I was cool driving 20 minutes to a terminal on each end, and suddenly the quote dropped to $560. I said yes, dropped the car off on a Tuesday morning, and it was at the Chicago terminal Thursday night. The thing that convinced me was watching them load four other cars on the same truck, no weaving through neighborhoods or missed calls about narrow streets. My car showed up with zero new scratches and I paid almost half. Has anyone else had a bad experience with terminal pickup, or is it pretty much always this smooth?
