Door-To-Door Service (Not!)

The carrier contracted to transport my vehicle was unable to provide door-to-door service. At pickup, I was obliged to drive 0.5 mi to meet the driver at his rig. I then had to walk 0.5 miles home in the dark. At delivery, the rig could not be brought closer than a mile to my new home. I walked half this distance and was met by the driver in my car after he'd unloaded it. We then drove back to his rig in my car, the driver turned the vehicle over to me, and I drove home. Suncoast did a good job finding me a carrier for timely transport of my vehicle, but I felt misled in my expectations regarding door-to-door service.

As our customers are advised over the phone, and as it clearly states in our authorization forms and on our website, the carriers deliver directly to the address provided as long as their trucks can safely get there without breaking laws or damaging vehicles on the truck. 98% of the time they deliver right to the door but there are of course instances where they cannot physically get to the door. Some examples of this are when the location is on a very narrow street where the truck simply cannot fit, on a dead end where they have no way of turning around, a very steep hill that the big truck cannot get up (ex. some areas in San Fran), or a street with low trees that could scratch the vehicles. They also cannot legally get into gated communities or in some areas in Washington DC.
