Looking for a Vehicle Transport Company Between Connecticut to California?

From Point A in Connecticut to Point B in California

From Point A in Connecticut to Point B in California

The Connecticut to California route is one of the longest routes on our list of supported states for auto shipping. It spans a total distance of 3,000 miles, or an optimal, no-rest or fuel-stop, time of 44 hours. A more realistic estimation would be 5-7 days of total travel time, with a lot of rest stops, fueling, and accommodations expenses.

 

Not a lot of people have the spare time to transport a car from one coast to the other, and then have time to come back on time. This is why SGT Auto Transport offers its services to Connecticut residents who are looking to ship their own vehicles from any point in the state to California.

 

It is a lot safer, more convenient, and costs about the same as if a customer were to do it themselves, minus the time they spent behind the wheel. With an average delivery time of 7-8 days, it's about the same as if driven by a driver, except there will be no additional wear on the vehicle.

 

In terms of convenience, Connecticut auto transport services are far more reliable and accommodating than DIY shipments. We highly recommend you take a look at our services and contact us so we can show you exactly how much better it is to use professional assistance, rather than doing it yourself.

My experience with SGT was tremendous. The price was cheaper than most and the end result perfect. Had a new car moved from St. Louis to Groton Connecticut. The transport was timely in fact it arrived early. The driver was friendly and as I watched him load the car onto the transport trailer it was very apparent he knew what to do. SGT kept in touch with me through this move. I am a totally satisfied customer and would not hesitate to use them in the future.

I had a really great experience with SGT Auto Transport when I needed to ship my son's car from Berkeley, California, to New Haven, Connecticut. I thought the process was going to be very complicated and very expensive, but it was not! It was easy to arrange the pickup date/time, they came when they were supposed to, and the car was delivered when it was supposed to and it was very simple. I was able to easily reach someone if I had a question at any point in the process. The car arrived in good shape, and I was very pleased with the service. I will use SGT again when my son moves back to the West Coast in a couple years!

Getting an instant quote with our price calculator will give you a good idea of where the current market rates are. Due to the constant market fluctuation, it’s a good idea to check in from time to time, and our calculator allows you to get a statistically accurate estimation in seconds.

 

It uses the historical data SGT Auto Transport has gathered over the past 5 years, and combines it with the data you provide to give you a very accurate estimation. It is based on the data from successfully shipped vehicles, i.e., paid prices and not the asking prices, which are different.

 

Carriers will often quote us higher than the actual rate, and that is why we negotiate the rates down to make them fair and accommodate the budget of our customers. For the Hartford, Connecticut, to Los Angeles, California route, the estimated price range starts from $1099. 

 

When calculated per mile, this is one of the lowest cost routes, coming out to $2,72 per mile. You can also target a price that you feel most comfortable with and set it as a reminder. Once the market hits that price for your car, you will be notified via email so you can grab that great deal. Keep in mind that market rates do increase from March to September, considering the 30% increase in demand.

 

Give us a call at any time, and we’ll assign you a service advisor who will guide you through the booking process and help you assess which services are best suited to you.
