Shipping a car to or from Burlington

Burlington pulls students from everywhere — UVM in particular draws most of its class from out of state — and a car matters more here than at most schools. The city sits on Lake Champlain at the end of I-89, and once the snow flies, a car is how students actually get to the mountains on weekends. Nobody wants to drive that car 3,000 miles from California to get it here.

Here is how a pickup or dropoff actually works: our hauler comes up I-89 and gets off at the Burlington exits, but a full-size car hauler is about 75 feet long — it is not threading the hill streets between UVM's campus and Church Street, and Champlain's neighborhood is even tighter. So the driver parks at a safe, legal, wide spot nearby and coordinates with you by text. He can Uber over to you, or you can come out to the truck if you'd rather nobody else drives your car. Saint Michael's in Colchester is an easy stop right off the interstate.

The big lane is the West Coast. A sedan picked up in California, Arizona, or Nevada and delivered to Burlington is $2,000 flat (SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600). Going the other way — getting the car home from Vermont at the end of the year — starts at $2,500, since pricing follows the pickup location. You put down a $100 deposit that applies to the total, and the balance is paid on delivery by Zelle, cash, or Venmo — after you've inspected the car.

Can you pick the car up right at the dorm?

As close as we safely can.

Coast-to-coast averages about 4 days once the car is picked up — the average across our 25,000+ transports. Closer runs are faster.
