Testimonials
Delivered to the Door. Here is What They Said.
New York → Florida
★★★★★
"I cannot believe I ever drove this route myself. Safeeds picked up my car from my New Jersey driveway on a Tuesday. It was in my Florida driveway by Friday. I flew down, had two relaxing days before my car arrived, and started my winter completely stress-free. This is the only way I will ever do this from now on."
Ohio → California
★★★★★
"Relocated for a tech job and had three weeks to make it happen. Door to door was the only option that made sense. They picked up from my apartment in Columbus and delivered to my new building in San Francisco. The driver communicated the whole way and my car arrived in perfect condition."
Texas → New York
★★★★★
"Bought a pickup truck at auction in Dallas and needed it in Brooklyn. Safeeds picked it up directly from the auction lot and delivered to my street in Brooklyn 6 days later. They called me 45 minutes before delivery so I could be outside waiting. Flawless."
Michigan → Arizona
★★★★★
"My father is 78 and could not make the snowbird drive anymore. We booked Safeeds door to door for him — picked up from his Michigan home, delivered to his Arizona condo. He did not have to do a single thing except be home at pickup and delivery. The whole family is relieved and grateful."

Every Question Answered
Everything you need to know before booking door-to-door auto transport with Safeeds.
What exactly does "door-to-door" auto transport mean?
It means your vehicle is picked up from any address you choose, home, office, or storage unit, and delivered directly to another address. No terminals, no extra trips, no dropping your car off anywhere.
Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery?
Yes, and only then will you do a quick vehicle inspection with the driver at both ends and sign the Bill of Lading. Everything in between is completely handled by Safeeds.
How much does door-to-door car shipping cost?
Short routes (under 500 miles) typically run $300–$600 for open transport. Cross-country (1,500+ miles) runs $850–$1,400. You'll get your exact locked-in price in 60 seconds with Safeeds' free quote tool, no hidden fees.
How is door-to-door different from terminal-to-terminal shipping?
With terminal shipping, you drive your car to a lot (often 20–50 miles away), wait days for a carrier, then repeat at the destination. Door-to-door eliminates all of that. For roughly $50–$150 more, most customers consider it a no-brainer.
How far in advance should I book door-to-door auto transport?
Booking 2+ weeks early gets you the best rates and more carrier options. That said, Safeeds handles last-minute moves too, just expect slightly tighter availability on very short notice.
How long does door-to-door car shipping take?
Transit times depend on distance: 1–3 days for short hauls, 2–5 days for mid-range, and 5–10 days for cross-country routes. Your driver's contact info is shared 1–3 days before pickup, so you always know exactly what's happening.
Can I ship a luxury or classic car door-to-door?
Absolutely, and it's the recommended option. Enclosed door-to-door transport keeps your vehicle completely protected from weather and road debris, never touches a public terminal lot, and is handled by vetted carriers. Safeeds specializes in this.
What happens if my car is damaged during transport?
Every Safeeds shipment uses carriers with FMCSA-required cargo insurance. The Bill of Lading signed at pickup documents your vehicle's exact condition, so any new damage at delivery is clearly verifiable and claimable. Safeeds also offers AFTA GAP Protection for added peace of mind.
Can I track my car during door-to-door transport?
Yes. Once your vehicle is dispatched, you have your driver's direct phone number and can call anytime. Safeeds customer support is also available 7 days a week; you're never left wondering where your car is.
Do I need to pay a deposit to book door-to-door shipping?
Most Safeeds routes require zero upfront deposit. You don't pay until a carrier is secured and you've agreed to the final price, no surprises, no money taken before you're ready.
