Shipping a student's car to or from Boston

Boston is a wonderful place to be a student and a miserable place to arrive with a car. BU stretches for miles along Commonwealth Avenue, BC sits out at Chestnut Hill, Northeastern fronts Huntington Ave by the Fens, Tufts is up in Medford/Somerville, and Emerson, Suffolk, and Berklee are wedged into downtown, Beacon Hill, and the Back Bay. Between resident-permit-only streets, the September 1 lease-turnover crush, and parkways like Storrow Drive that trucks can't legally touch, the last mile is the whole problem.

So we solve the last mile for you. Our driver stages the 75-foot hauler at a safe, legal, wide spot near your campus, then texts you: he can Uber over to your car and bring it to the truck, or you can come out to the truck yourself if you'd rather nobody else drives it. Walk-around inspection, sign, loaded — and the cross-country part happens on our truck instead of on your odometer.

Pricing follows the pickup location. A sedan from California, Arizona, or Nevada to any of these campuses is $2,000; getting it home from Boston at year's end starts at $2,500 (SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600). $100 deposit applies to the total; balance on delivery by Zelle, cash, or Venmo after you inspect the car.

Common questions

How much does it cost to ship a car from California to a Boston school?

A sedan picked up in California, Arizona, or Nevada and delivered to the Boston area is $2,000 door-to-door (SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600). We are the actual carrier, so that is the whole price. Text (315) 999-1132 for an exact quote.

How much to ship a car home from Boston?

Pricing follows the pickup location: a Massachusetts pickup starts at $2,500 for a sedan (SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600). Text (315) 999-1132 with your dates for an exact number.

Can a car-hauler really get to my dorm on Comm Ave or Beacon Hill?

Not literally to the front door — a 75-foot rig doesn't fit on Beacon Hill and can't use Storrow Drive at all. The driver parks at a safe, legal, wide spot nearby and coordinates by text: he can Uber over to your car, or you can come out to the truck if you'd rather nobody else drives it.

When should I book for fall move-in?

The weeks around September 1 are the busiest of our year for Boston, and end-of-spring move-out fills fast too. Text us your dates as early as you have them and we schedule the truck around your window.

How do I verify you're a real carrier?

Google our MC number 1014646, USDOT number 3234308, or (315) 939-0186 — our phone on file with USDOT — and we come up on the federal SAFER registry. $500K cargo insurance, $1M liability, our own trucks and drivers.
