How long will it take to ship a car?

 You need to drive up to the terminal and drop your car there. The car will be kept in a parking lot and will wait until the next truck that is available can pick it up. If a truck is passing on that route and will be traveling on the route of your destination then car will be shipped in that truck.

If you have tied up with a transport broker who will be operating under a major trucking line or will be tied up with trucking companies, they would have all details of the logistics of the trucks taking that route for at least the next two weeks. Based on the logistics data they can give you a near accurate estimate however delays cannot be ruled out. The terminal to terminal process takes longer than any other shipping process and the time could be anything from 4 to six weeks depending on the distance. The door to door shipping process takes lesser time to ship the car. In the door to door service the truck that is carrying you car will be coming to the nearest possible location of your house and will be picking up the car directly from you. The inspector will prepare the bill of lading on the spot and the inspection of the car is also done right on the spot.
How long will it take to ship a car now depends on the route the truck is taking and how long it will take to travel to your destination. Once the truck reaches the destination city the car is again delivered at your door and the same process is followed again where the car is inspected on the spot and delivered to you. The door to door service could take about 2 weeks for shipping. However the door to door method is also charged more than the terminal to terminal.
