Hansen's Door-to-Door Service: Pick-Ups and Deliveries

Transporting a vehicle across Canada shouldn’t feel complicated. With Hansen’s door-to-door service, the process is streamlined from pick-up to delivery, no terminals, no extra planning, and no added stress. We coordinate the logistics so your vehicle travels safely and conveniently from point A to point B.

In most cases, pick-ups and deliveries are straightforward. However, we understand that not every neighbourhood is transport-truck friendly. Narrow streets, steep driveways, or limited access locations can present challenges, but rest assured, our experienced team is equipped with solutions to handle them efficiently and safely.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through how Hansen’s door-to-door service works, how we manage more complex access situations, and what you can expect throughout the process for a smooth, stress-free vehicle transport experience.

Convenient Door-to-Door Vehicle Transport Across Canada

Door-to-door vehicle shipping is designed with convenience in mind. You don’t need to drop off your car at a terminal or warehouse; instead, a professional driver will arrive at your specified pickup location to load your vehicle and transport it directly to your desired delivery address. This personalized service is ideal for individuals relocating across provinces, corporate clients requiring fleet shipments, and even dealerships or moving companies coordinating multiple vehicle shipments.

Hansen’s offers door-to-door services for all needs, including:

• Auto Shipping: Personal cars, SUVs, trucks, and cargo vans.
• Oversized Vehicle Shipping: Commercial vans, heavy-duty pickups, and other oversized vehicles.
• Cross-Border Car Shipping: Seamless transport to and from the U.S. (date/location specific)
• Fleet Shipping: Handling large orders for corporate or dealership clients.
• Electric Vehicle Shipping: Handling EVs with appropriate equipment and protocols.

Access Challenges: When Door-to-Door Needs a Little Flexibility

While most locations allow straightforward vehicle pickup and delivery, some areas present access challenges that affect the ability of large car haulers to enter safely.

Common problematic locations include:

• Congested downtown cores: Traffic restrictions, narrow streets, or crowded areas can make carrier entry difficult.
• No-stopping zones: Some city areas don’t allow vehicles to stop long enough for loading or unloading.
• Narrow, steep, or unpaved roads: Rural or residential streets with unusual layouts can be inaccessible to large carriers.
• Remote locations: Some homes or businesses may be located on roads not suitable for heavy trucks.

When you book with Hansen’s, our customer service representatives will always mention the possibility of access limitations and address any concerns you may have upfront. We understand the importance of having clear expectations throughout the transportation process.

How Does Hansen’s Handle Difficult Pickups and Deliveries?

If a carrier cannot safely access your exact pickup or delivery location, Hansen’s Dispatch team steps in to find the best solution. We coordinate directly with you to:

• Suggest a nearby safe and accessible meeting point as close as possible to your address where the carrier can meet you and transfer your vehicle.
• Ensure minimal inconvenience by selecting locations that are easy to find and reach.
• Prioritize safety for both your vehicle and the truck driver, avoiding risky maneuvers or restricted zones.

Our dispatchers’ expertise and local knowledge allow them to navigate these challenges smoothly. This flexibility ensures that even if door-to-door pickup or delivery isn’t physically possible at your location, the process remains seamless and stress-free.

Proactive Communication: Keeping You Informed Every Step of the Way

A core part of Hansen’s exceptional service is communication. From the moment you book your order until final delivery, you can expect:

• Clear updates from Customer Service about pickup scheduling, especially for locations with access concerns.
• Timely notifications from Dispatch if alternative delivery or pickup points are needed.
• Real-time vehicle tracking and status updates, so you always know where your vehicle is.
• Friendly support ready to answer your questions and resolve any issues quickly.

Our goal is to provide transparency and build trust, so you feel confident throughout the transport experience.
