Car Shipping New York

What are you really looking for when you shop for a service provider?

Chances are you put a value on things like professionalism, punctuality, accountability, flexibility and service.

When you engage with us here at SGT Auto Transport, that’s exactly what you sign up for.

We’re all car people ourselves; we understand what you need when you are looking to ship a car across country, and of course we treat every car with the same kind of care and respect we’d display if it belonged to one of us.

We put customers at the forefront of everything we do; we want our customers to feel like they’ve partnered with us on their auto shipping solution.

It’s a formula that’s worked for us for over a decade now, with over 100,000 vehicles delivered and over 70,000 satisfied customers served.

Open car transport: affordable and convenient, this is the most popular kind of auto transport for most of our customers. Open car transport means your car shares the ride with several others on a double-decker trailer; while it does mean the cars are exposed to weather and possibly road grit, it’s also the most budget-friendly option we offer. 

Enclosed car transport: for a very rare, valuable or delicate car, it’s often desirable to have an added measure of security. Enclosed car transport means the vehicle is loaded into a closed trailer and then locked in for its journey, away from prying eyes and protected from weather. Enclosed car transport does come at an enhanced cost, and availability of drivers and trailers can be scarcer. 

Guaranteed pickup service: your time is valuable, and we respect that. Guaranteed pickup service means your transport driver will be at your address at a specified time and date, freeing up your time. 

Express delivery: there are always lots of moving parts to line up for an auto delivery, which is why we ask for a couple of weeks lead time to plan your logistics solution. We know that’s not always possible, though, and we do offer express shipping for expedited deliveries (premium charges do apply).

White glove transport: for a very rare or valuable car (think a Rolls-Royce or a Brass Age antique), white glove transport is the ultimate in enhanced care and attention. White glove transport means regular check-ins and monitoring, and an extra level of care in handling the vehicle itself. 

Please check your car for any fluid leaks: coolant, motor oil, transmission, brake or power steering fluid. 

Please don’t forget to get a copy of the car’s ignition key to your transport driver. 

Please be sure your car’s headlights and taillights work, and that all four tires are fully inflated and the battery is charged. 

Remember to ship your car with a quarter tank of gas or less. Curb weight is a big part of shipping calculations, and fuel weighs about 6 lb per gallon; less fuel means less weight and lower shipping costs. 

If you live on a crowded suburban or city street, it could be difficult, impossible or even illegal to get a commercial transport truck to your address. If that’s the case, consider a rendezvous with the transport driver in a more accessible spot, like an open parking lot. 

Please remove any detachable exterior accessories like bike racks, antennas or rooftop cargo carriers. 

If you ship any personal items with the car, please be sure they’re secured in the trunk or cargo area, in a suitcase or sealed box (100 lb limit).

Don’t assume that all house prices are as high as the ones in New York City. It depends where you choose to live in the state, but you might not have to save up for a hefty down payment.

There are over 200 colleges and universities in New York state. The public option is the State University of New York, but there are plenty of private options too.

Residents of New York have to face some steep income taxes. Property taxes can be high as well. Generally, in New York City, property taxes are low, and upstate they’re higher.

With regards to the weather, the news is good. A large portion of the state experiences four seasons. You can expect crisp springs, hot summers, colorful falls, and white winters. However, there is some bad news. Winter and summer can attack with a vengeance. In winter, temperatures can drop to 5 °F or lower, and long summers can include heat waves of 100+ °F.

When traveling around the state, you must separate it into two regions: NYC and the rest of the state. New York City has the third-worst traffic congestion globally. It has also been named the slowest city in America. Upstate New York, on the other hand, enjoys much lighter traffic.
