Shipping a car to or from Yale

New Haven is built around a colonial nine-square grid, and Yale is woven straight through it — first-years on Old Campus facing the Green, upperclassmen spread across fourteen residential colleges, grad students out toward East Rock. It is a genuinely walkable campus in a city where street parking is permit-tangled and garages fill fast, which is exactly why so many Yale families ship the car instead of driving it 3,000 miles to sit somewhere expensive.

The logistics work in your favor here. I-95 and I-91 meet right at New Haven Harbor, so our haulers are passing through constantly on the coastal and inland runs. A full-size car hauler is about 75 feet long — it is not going down Chapel or College Street — so the driver picks 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. Ten minutes, a walk-around inspection, and the car is loaded. We cover Quinnipiac University in Hamden on the same runs, one exit up the road.

The big lane is the West Coast. A sedan picked up in California, Arizona, or Nevada and delivered to New Haven is $2,000 flat (SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600). Going home at the end of the year is even better: Connecticut pickups start at $1,800, the cheapest tier in New England. A $100 deposit applies to the total; the balance is paid on delivery by Zelle, cash, or Venmo — after you inspect the car.

Common questions

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

A sedan picked up in California, Arizona, or Nevada and delivered to New Haven, CT is $2,000 door-to-door (SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600) because we are the actual carrier — no broker markup. Text (315) 999-1132 for an exact quote.

How much to ship a car home from Yale at the end of the year?

Connecticut pickups start at just $1,800 for a sedan (SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600) — the lowest of our New England tiers, because New Haven sits right on our I-95/I-91 lanes. Pricing follows the pickup location.

Can you pick the car up right at the residential colleges downtown?

As close as we safely can. A full-size car hauler is about 75 feet long — too big for the streets around Old Campus — so the driver parks at a safe, legal, wide spot nearby and coordinates by text. He can Uber over to meet you, or you can come out to the truck if you would rather nobody else drives your car.

Do you also serve Quinnipiac in Hamden?

Yes — Quinnipiac University in Hamden is minutes up the road and rides the same trucks on the same Connecticut runs, at the same CT pricing.
