One carrier, six states. We ship student cars to and from Burlington, Hanover, New Haven, Providence, Brunswick, and every campus in between — on our own trucks, with the driver assigned the day you book.
Text (315) 999-1132 Get an instant online quoteRoughly a quarter-million students move in and out of New England campuses every year, and a surprising number of those families are trying to solve the same puzzle: the student flies, but the car has to get there somehow. Driving it yourself means two days on I-90 or I-95, a hotel, and a one-way flight home. Shipping it with a broker means your number gets blasted to a load board and the price changes twice before pickup. We are the third option — the actual carrier, quoting our own trucks, at a flat price you can hold us to.
Our pricing follows the pickup location. All numbers are for a sedan — SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600:
A $100 deposit holds your spot and applies to the total. The balance is paid on delivery — Zelle, cash, or Venmo — after you have walked around the car and inspected it.
Three campuses within a few miles of each other make Burlington the busiest student stop in Vermont for us: the University of Vermont on the hill above Lake Champlain, Champlain College a few blocks below it, and Saint Michael's just off I-89 in Colchester. Our trucks come up I-89 and can serve all three on the same run, which is part of why Burlington dates fill early for late-August move-in. Street parking on the hill is tight and permit-heavy, so the driver coordinates a wider spot nearby by text. Full details on the UVM car shipping page.
Middlebury sits on Route 7 in the Champlain Valley, about an hour south of Burlington, and it has a moving season most schools don't: February. Mid-year “Feb” arrivals and graduations mean we get Middlebury car requests in the dead of winter as well as May and September — and a Vermont February is exactly when you want a professional hauling the car instead of a student driving it. See the dedicated Middlebury car shipping page.
Bennington is tucked into Vermont's southwest corner near the New York line, which puts it closer to our Clinton, NY home base than almost any other school on this page. Its winter Field Work Term sends students off campus for weeks at a time, so we see Bennington moves in December and February, not just at the usual semester breaks.
Norwich, the country's oldest private military college, sits in Northfield just off I-89 south of Montpelier. Incoming rooks report in August ahead of the regular semester, and cadet schedules leave little room for a two-day drive home — shipping the car and flying is the common play here. Vermont pickup starts at $2,500 for a sedan.
Hanover sits right where I-91 meets I-89 on the Connecticut River, which makes Dartmouth one of the easiest Ivy campuses in the country for a car hauler to reach. Dartmouth's quarter-based D-Plan means students arrive and leave in more months than almost any other school — sophomore summer included — so we run this stop nearly year-round. Full details on the Dartmouth car shipping page.
UNH's Durham campus is the biggest school in the state, and campus parking permits are scarce enough that plenty of families ship the car to a home address near campus rather than fight for a lot assignment. Durham sits just off US-4 between the Spaulding Turnpike and I-95, an easy detour for trucks running the seacoast. See the dedicated UNH car shipping page.
SNHU is best known for its online programs, but the residential campus on the Merrimack in Manchester moves thousands of students every fall, minutes off I-93 and I-293. Manchester's airport makes the fly-the-student, ship-the-car combination especially clean here — land, Uber to campus, and the car arrives on our truck.
Keene State sits in the state's southwest corner where Routes 9, 10, 12, and 101 converge; Plymouth State is up I-93 at the edge of the White Mountains. Both are drivable-but-annoying from anywhere outside northern New England, which is exactly the profile of the student cars we haul most. New Hampshire pickup starts at $2,500 for a sedan; getting a car to either campus from California, Arizona, or Nevada is $2,000 flat.
New Haven sits at the junction of I-95 and I-91, so our trucks pass Yale on nearly every Northeast rotation. Downtown's residential-college blocks are no place for a 75-foot hauler, so the driver stages at a safe, legal spot nearby and coordinates the handoff by text. Connecticut is also our cheapest New England pickup — getting a car home from Yale starts at $1,800. Full details on the Yale car shipping page.
Storrs is genuinely rural — Route 195 rolls through farmland right up to the biggest campus in New England — but it sits an easy hop off I-84, so it is a routine stop for us. With 20,000+ students and strict resident-parking tiers, UConn generates more car-shipping requests than any other Connecticut school we serve. See the dedicated UConn car shipping page.
Trinity College sits in the middle of Hartford minutes off I-84; Wesleyan is twenty minutes down Route 9 in Middletown, above the Connecticut River. We treat them as one stop pair — same run, same day, often the same truck — which keeps scheduling flexible for both campuses. Details for both are on the Wesleyan & Trinity car shipping page.
Quinnipiac's main campus in Hamden faces Sleeping Giant State Park, ten minutes up the road from New Haven — when we have a truck at Yale, Quinnipiac is effectively next door. First-year students and families flying in through Bradley or Tweed often ship the car and skip the drive entirely.
Fairfield University and Sacred Heart sit within a few miles of each other in Fairfield County. The Merritt Parkway is off-limits to trucks, so our haulers work these campuses straight off I-95 — and since both schools draw heavily from out of state, the West Coast inbound lane ($2,000 flat from CA/AZ/NV) shows up here every August.
Conn College overlooks the Thames in New London, right off I-95 and across the road from the Coast Guard Academy. It is one of the simplest stops on our shoreline run — and at $1,800 to get a sedan home from a Connecticut pickup, one of the most affordable schools on this page to ship from.
Brown and RISD share College Hill in Providence, and College Hill's steep, narrow one-way streets are exactly where you do not want a 75-foot car hauler. The driver parks at a wider spot nearby, takes an Uber over, and handles the walk-around inspection with you — or you come out to the truck if you'd rather nobody else drives your car. Providence sits directly on I-95, so both schools are on our regular rotation.
URI's Kingston campus is out in South County on Route 138, a few miles from the beaches — far enough from I-95 that friends with trucks mysteriously stop volunteering. We cover it on the same swing as Providence, and a sedan picked up at URI starts at $2,500 to anywhere on our lanes.
Providence College sits in the Elmhurst neighborhood on the city's north side, and Bryant is fifteen minutes up the road in Smithfield near I-295. Both fit neatly into our Providence-area loop, so pickup windows here are usually easy to hit even in the late-August crunch.
Bowdoin sits in Brunswick on the midcoast, just off I-295 and US-1 — the gentlest Maine stop on our route. It draws students from all over the country, and the math is simple: shipping the car to Brunswick from California is $2,000 flat, while getting it home at the end of the year starts at $2,800 from a Maine pickup.
Colby crowns Mayflower Hill in Waterville right off I-95, and Bates is forty minutes south in Lewiston near the Maine Turnpike. Together with Bowdoin they form the classic Maine small-college triangle, and we routinely serve two of the three on a single northbound run — worth mentioning if you can be flexible on dates.
Orono is the far turn of our New England map — I-95 runs practically past the UMaine campus north of Bangor, with Husson University in Bangor itself. Winters up here are serious, and December break is when we get the most calls from parents who would rather not have a student driving I-95 south through a snowstorm.
Massachusetts has enough campuses to need its own page — Harvard, MIT, the Boston schools, UMass Amherst, Williams, Wellesley, and more. See the dedicated Massachusetts college car shipping hub, or jump straight to Harvard, MIT, Boston, UMass Amherst, Williams, Wellesley, Worcester, or Brandeis & Bentley. Massachusetts pickup starts at $2,500 for a sedan, same as the rest of southern New England.
And if the summer plan runs through the Cape instead of a campus, we also do door-to-island delivery — see Nantucket car shipping.
Pickup, destination, dates — we reply with one honest number from the actual carrier.
Text (315) 999-1132A sedan picked up in California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, or Ohio and delivered to any New England campus is $2,000 flat (SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600). We are the actual carrier, so that number has no broker markup. Text (315) 999-1132 for an exact quote.
How much to ship a car home from a New England school at the end of the year?Pricing follows the pickup location: a sedan starts at $1,800 picked up in Connecticut, $2,500 picked up in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island, and $2,800 picked up in Maine. SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600.
Can you pick the car up right on campus?As close as we safely can. A full-size car hauler is about 75 feet long, so the driver parks somewhere safe and legal nearby and takes an Uber over to meet you — or you can come out to the truck if you would rather nobody else drives your car.
How long does the cross-country run take?Coast-to-coast averages about 4 days once the car is picked up — the average across our 25,000+ transports. Northeast-only moves are usually faster.
How do I know you are a real carrier and not a broker?Google our MC number 1014646, our 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, and a driver assigned the day you book.
