The best ways and methods to ship a car to or from Boston, MA

Our preferred method for shipping a vehicle to or from Boston is going to be enclosed car transport. With enclosed car transport, your vehicle is loaded into a trailer that completely protects it from the elements on all four sides, then securely locked up until it makes it to its destination. While enclosed car transport does come at a premium price, it prevents exposure to weather, road debris, grit and prying eyes and can really be worthwhile for a high-value or rare vehicle. For time-sensitive shipments or last-minute arrangements, we offer options like guaranteed pickup and express auto transport; ask one of our consultants for details.

How long does it take to transport a car to and from Boston, MA?

There are many routes a carrier can take when transporting your car.

The American highway system is laid out strategically, to provide some of the best and most efficient routes from one city to another, and whenever possible your carrier will take advantage of that directness. Factors like seasonal surges, traffic congestion, weather and road conditions/construction can all enter into the equation, but in most instances a pickup and delivery job that covers 200 miles or less will mean a two-day turnaround. A 2,000 mile run will generally stretch out to about seven to nine days.
Along with the factors we mentioned above, other considerations can include the availability of transport drivers and trucks, timing of the job (if it’s around peak moving seasons) and driving conditions. Regardless, you can be confident that SGT Auto Transport will take every necessary step to make sure that your vehicle makes it to its destination on time and to your satisfaction.

Our customers' vehicle relocation services experiences in Boston, MA with SGT Auto Transport

Shadi Z.
My sister has used their service before to ship her car from Texas, Dallas to Seattle and she was happy with SGT Auto Transport, back in 2019z
Having my sister's experience in mind, I contacted SGT Auto Transport to ship my car from Dallas to Boston. Very similar to my sister, my experience with SGT Auto Transport was awesome. Their service was among the cheapest (price-wise) and mean time safest services.
The assigned carrier to me was "Kings Auto Carriers Inc" and the Driver/Carrier Contact person was Omar Maldonado.
My car was picked up the exact day that I asked and my car was delivered the exact day that was promised.
Janine R.
I used SGT to transport my vehicle from Boston to Boulder, Colorado. They were very careful with my vehicle since it was still fairly new. They picked up my vehicle as scheduled and delivery was fairly quick. Once I was in Boulder, it only took one day to have it delivered. All in all it was about a five day turnaround from start to finish. Upon delivery my vehicle looked great no issues other than the car being a little dirty. I would definitely recommend them.
Melanie L.
We used SGT to ship a car from Chicago to Boston. We were very happy with the experience; SGT was communicative and clear. We were a little leery about paying the truck driver in cash but it went exactly as SGT told us it would. I would definitely use SGT again if I need to ship a vehicle.
R. Howell
SGT Auto Transport did a great job of delivering my car from Boston to LA. Good communication that led to a delivery one day ahead of schedule! Driver (Chris) was excellent! Highly recommend.

Tips for Boston Car Shipping Services

Boston is one of the oldest cities in New England, and is packed with a rich heritage of American history:

Paul Revere’s house in the North End is the oldest building in the city, and is now a museum. 

Established in 1634, Boston Commons is the oldest city park in the United States.

The Fig Newton was named after a Boston suburb (although the yummy cookie was invented in Philadelphia).

Boston has the United States’ first subway system.

The bar in the beloved 80s sitcom “Cheers” was based on the Bull & Finch Pub in Boston.

Boston is served by Interstate highways  I-90, I-91, I-95 and I-93, as well as Northeast Expressway, Newburyport Turnpike, Boston-Providence Turnpike and a number of state and US highways. 

Boston is considered to have a “hot continental climate”; summers are short, warm and humid, and winters can be very cold with abundant snowfall. Summer temperatures can get into the 80s or low 90s, and winters can get down into the single digits with highs in the 30s.

As the most populous city in New England, there’s all kinds of options for nightlife, entertainment and arts in Boston.

Prepare Your Vehicle for Auto Transportation from Boston

We’ve been hauling vehicles for customers for over a decade, and we’d like to offer a few tips to make your experience smoother:

You’ll want to give your car a good wash job and a thorough cleaning of the interior. That way it’ll be easier to document its condition when the driver comes for the pickup (taking a few pictures is a good idea too). You will be asked to fill out a condition report at this time. 

Remove any personal belongings, accessories or loose parts.

Anything that’s detachable such as bike racks or cargo boxes should be removed and secured. 

Check for any fluid leaks that could cause a safety or environmental risk. That could include fuel line leaks, motor oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid or transmission fluid. 

Lower curb weight works to your advantage during shipping; having less than a quarter tank of gas can help keep weight down.

Make sure that any toll tags or parking tags are removed.

Ensure that your battery is fully charged and all four tires are fully inflated.

How to Save on Car Shipping in Boston, MA

There are a few things you can keep in mind to keep your shipping costs under control and within your budget, while still getting the premium service you expect. The more lead time we have in planning your auto transport job, the better it is; we’d advise you to book a few weeks in advance for the most favorable rates, because last-minute booking will be more expensive. The calendar makes a difference, too; booking during off-peak times of the year will mean better rates. If possible, schedule your shipment to a major city, as deliveries to smaller towns or remote areas tend to be pricier. Also, don’t forget that SGT Auto Transport runs specials and discounts regularly; don’t forget to visit our dedicated page to see what deals are available.

Receiving Your Vehicle in Boston

If it’s at all possible, we’d prefer that you be there personally to receive your vehicle. That gives you the chance to do an inspection yourself, meet the driver and then you can both be sure that the condition of the vehicle matches what’s on his Bill of Lading. If you can’t make it, you can name a third party to take care of the handoff. It could be a friend, spouse, sibling, relative or neighbor, as long as that person is at least 18 years of age and as long as SGT knows about your arrangements. 

Discounted price payment options are available, but the driver may ask you for the rest of what’s owed at the time of delivery. Drivers can accept payment in the form of money order or cashier’s check.
