Ship the car instead of driving it through the lake-effect belt. Door-to-door from the Lake Ontario shoreline, on our own trucks.
Text (315) 999-1132 Get an instant online quoteSUNY Oswego sits right on the Lake Ontario shoreline, about 40 minutes north of Syracuse up Route 481 — which puts it in the heart of one of the snowiest lake-effect belts in the country. That geography drives most of the shipping requests we get here: parents don't want their student (or themselves) driving hours through whiteout bands to move a car in December or January. The smarter version is simple — the student flies, and the car rides our truck.
Because Oswego is a short hop off I-90 at Syracuse, it prices at our best corridor rate and schedules quickly; our trucks are through Syracuse constantly. The typical calendar: cars shipped in from out of state in late August for move-in, home again in mid-May when the semester ends, and a steady run of winter-break moves for students studying away in spring or heading home for good. Campus sits between the lake and the town's tighter streets, so the driver coordinates a safe, easy meeting spot nearby by text — usually a big lot a few minutes from campus.

Home from Oswego: 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.

Can you ship the car so my student doesn't have to drive in lake-effect snow?That is one of the most common reasons Oswego families use us. The student flies home for winter break, we haul the car on our truck, and nobody drives the lake-effect belt in December or January.
Do you pick up right at the dorm in Oswego?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.
