Getting a Statesman's or Heron's car between Seneca Lake and home — especially the California run — on our own trucks, door-to-door.
Text (315) 999-1132 Get an instant online quoteHobart and William Smith sit on the northern tip of Seneca Lake in Geneva, NY — postcard Finger Lakes, and conveniently for us, only a few minutes south of the Thruway between Syracuse and Rochester. That stretch of I-90 is the spine of our operation: our trucks run it between our Clinton, NY home base and the West Coast on nearly every trip, so a Geneva pickup slots into a run that was already happening. That's why HWS gets our best corridor pricing — from $1,499 for a sedan to California — instead of a "small remote college town" surcharge.
HWS draws students from well beyond the Northeast, and the jobs repeat on the academic calendar: a car sent out from California or Arizona for the fall, a senior's car headed west after graduation on the Quad, and December-break parents who would rather not gamble on Routes 5&20 and I-90 in Finger Lakes snow. Late August and mid-May are the crunch weeks — text your dates a couple of weeks ahead if you can. Friends at Cornell, Ithaca College, or SUNY Geneseo? Those campuses are linked below; sometimes two families on the same lane share the same truck week.

Can you pick up right on campus by Seneca Lake?As close as we safely can. A 75-foot car hauler needs room to work, so the driver coordinates a safe, truck-accessible spot near campus and meets you there. You are texted the meeting point and a live GPS tracking link.
How long does Geneva to the West Coast 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.
