Two universities, one city: Waltham sits right on I-95/Route 128 with the Mass Pike minutes south — an easy stop for our trucks. Door-to-door, on our own equipment.
Text (315) 999-1132 Get an instant online quoteWaltham — the old Watch City on the Charles — is about ten miles west of downtown Boston and straddles I-95/Route 128, with the Mass Pike a few minutes to the south. For a full-size car hauler, that makes it one of the simplest Boston-area college stops there is: no crawling through Cambridge or Allston to reach a dorm. Brandeis sits on the south side of the city near the river; Bentley is up the hill on the north side. One truck covers both in the same stop.
We're a Clinton, NY carrier running 14–16 of our own trucks on the corridors between upstate New York, New England, and California, Arizona, and Nevada — and both schools pull students from exactly those places. The lane we quote most here is California: a sedan to Waltham from a California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, or Ohio pickup is $2,000, and going home from Massachusetts starts at $2,500 (SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600). Coast-to-coast averages about 4 days once the car is on the truck.
Timing follows the semester: the late-August rush in, a December wave home for break, and the big May move-out around finals and commencement. A $100 deposit holds your dates and applies to the total; we text you a live GPS tracking link, and the balance is due on delivery by Zelle, cash, or Venmo — after you walk around the car.
Deal with the carrier directly — no broker, no runaround.

How much to ship a car to Waltham from California, Arizona, or Nevada?A sedan shipped to Waltham from a California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, or Ohio pickup is $2,000. A $100 deposit holds your dates and applies to the total; the balance is due on delivery by Zelle, cash, or Venmo after you inspect the car.
Can you pick up at both Brandeis and Bentley?Yes — both campuses are in Waltham, minutes apart. A car hauler is big for campus roads, so the driver coordinates a safe spot nearby and meets you there, or you can come out to the truck if you'd rather nobody else drives your car.
How long does Waltham to California take?Coast-to-coast averages about 4 days once the car is picked up — the average across our 25,000+ transports. Closer runs are faster.
Are you a broker or the actual carrier?We're the carrier — our trucks, our drivers, our $500K cargo insurance, with your driver assigned at booking. Google our MC 1014646, USDOT 3234308, or (315) 939-0186 (our phone on file with USDOT) and we come up on the federal SAFER registry.
