SUNY Cortland car shipping,
done by the actual carrier.

Shipping a car to or from Cortland

Cortland sits on I-81 almost exactly halfway between Syracuse and Ithaca — about half an hour from each. For us that's ideal: we haul student cars for Syracuse University and Cornell every semester, so a SUNY Cortland pickup slots straight into runs our trucks are already making. That's why Cortland gets our I-90 corridor pricing and fast scheduling instead of the wait-and-hope treatment a broker gives a smaller college town.

The rhythm here follows the SUNY calendar: cars shipped in from out of state in late August for move-in, home again in mid-May when the residence halls close, plus a steady December run of families who fly the student home for winter break and let us haul the car instead of driving I-81 through the snow belt. Cortland draws students from downstate, New England, and increasingly the West Coast — a car home to California starts at $1,499, and a car out from California is a flat $2,000.

Move-in and move-out weeks fill up first. Text us your dates a week or two ahead and we'll schedule the pickup around your day — and around hall check-out times.

What it costs

Home from Cortland: a sedan starts at $1,499 door-to-door, even cross-country to California. To school from California, Arizona, or Nevada: $2,000. SUVs add $200, pickup trucks add $600. A $100 deposit holds your spot and applies to the total; the balance is due on delivery by Zelle, cash, or Venmo — after you inspect the car. Full pricing here.

Common questions

How much does it cost to ship a car from SUNY Cortland to California?

Cortland sits between Syracuse and Ithaca on lanes we already run, so a sedan starts at $1,499 door-to-door to California at our I-90 corridor rate. SUVs add $200, pickup trucks add $600. Text (315) 999-1132 for an exact number.

Do you pick up right at the dorm in Cortland?

As close as we safely can. A car-hauler is big, so the driver parks somewhere safe nearby and takes an Uber over to meet you — or, if you would rather we not drive your car at all, you can Uber out to the truck. Whatever you prefer.

How long does it 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.

How do the deposit and payment work?

A $100 deposit holds your spot and applies to the total — it is not an extra fee. The balance is due on delivery by Zelle, cash, or Venmo, after you inspect the car.

How do I know you're legit?

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