Boston Car Shipping Services
Open Auto Transport
Open transport is the standard, most affordable way to ship a vehicle. Your car rides on an
exposed multi-car carrier alongside other vehicles. With Boston's position in the Northeast
corridor, open transport here is well-served throughout the year.
Enclosed Auto Transport
New England winters bring snow, ice, and road salt that can affect a vehicle on an open carrier.
For luxury vehicles, classics, or anything high-value, enclosed transport offers a fully covered
trailer with complete protection.
Door-to-Door Car Shipping
We pick up and deliver as close to your address as the carrier can safely manage. Boston's
narrow, historic streets and parking restrictions in neighborhoods like Back Bay and the North
End can make large carrier access tricky — we coordinate a nearby pickup point in those cases.
Most suburbs are fully accessible.
Expedited Car Shipping
Need fast service? Our expedited option moves pickup to within 24 to 48 hours. Especially
useful around college move-in and move-out deadlines.
Classic and Collector Car Shipping
Boston has a strong New England car culture. We ship vintage and high-value vehicles using
enclosed transport with careful, experienced handling.
- Nexgen Auto Transport
Boston Car Shipping Transit Times
These are estimates. Traffic in the Boston metro and occasional New England winter weather
can affect timing slightly.

Shipping a Car In and Around Boston
Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and the inner suburbs sit on or near I-90, I-93, and I-95, but the
city's narrow, historic streets present real access challenges for large carriers in some
neighborhoods. We work with carriers to find a practical pickup point — often a nearby
commercial lot — and always communicate that clearly before the driver arrives. Outer suburbs
like Newton, Brookline, and Quincy generally offer easier access.
- Nexgen Auto Transport
Preparing Your Car for Shipping in Boston
• Wash the car so existing scratches and dings are easy to document
• Take photos of all four sides of the vehicle before the driver arrives
• Remove all personal items from the interior and trunk
• Leave about a quarter tank of fuel
• Disable any E-ZPass toll transponders to avoid charges during transport
• Confirm the car starts and runs, or let us know in advance if it doesn't
• Plan extra time to get to the coordinated pickup point if you're in a dense neighborhood
• Review and sign the Bill of Lading carefully, noting any pre-existing damage

Who Ships Cars to and from Boston?
Snowbirds Heading South
New England winters are long, and many Boston-area residents spend part of the season in
Florida or the Carolinas, shipping vehicles south in fall and back north in spring.
Healthcare and Biotech Professionals
Boston's hospitals and growing biotech sector bring in professionals from across the country,
often as part of a broader relocation package.
College Students
Harvard, MIT, Boston University, Boston College, and Northeastern all draw students from
across the country. Shipping a car to campus at the start of the year — or back home for the
summer — is far more practical than a long solo drive.
People Relocating
Boston sees significant inbound migration tied to its hospitals, universities, and growing tech
sector, along with steady outbound moves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a carrier pick up my car directly in Boston?
It depends on your neighborhood. Narrow streets in areas like Back Bay or the North End can
make direct pickup difficult. We typically coordinate a nearby accessible spot and discuss this
with you before booking.
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Boston?
Rates start around $330 for short Northeast hauls and go up to $1,400 for cross-country moves.
Your exact price depends on your neighborhood, destination, and vehicle type. Call (832) 886-
1321 for a quote.
How long does it take to ship a car to or from Boston?
New York is typically one day. Miami takes 3–5 days. Los Angeles takes 7–9 days. We give you
a realistic window at booking.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier in our network carries cargo insurance as required by the FMCSA. We
recommend photographing your vehicle before pickup.
Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery?
Yes, you or a designated contact needs to be present to sign the Bill of Lading at both ends.
Can you ship a non-running car from Boston?
Yes. Non-running vehicles need a carrier with a winch, which may add to the cost. Let us know
upfront.
What's the difference between open and enclosed transport?
Open transport is standard and affordable. Enclosed transport uses a covered trailer, ideal for
luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles, especially during New England winters.
How far in advance should I book?
One to two weeks ahead is ideal. College move-in and move-out seasons (August and May)
can tighten availability, so book early during those times.
What happens if my car is damaged during shipping?
Document any damage on the delivery report immediately. The carrier's insurance covers
transport-related damage, and NexGen helps with the claims process.
Do you service Cambridge, Somerville, and the Boston suburbs?
Yes, we cover the entire Boston metro, with easier carrier access generally found in the outer
suburbs.
Can Boston dealerships use NexGen for inventory transport?
Yes. We work with Boston-area dealerships and can set up account pricing for volume
shipments.
What's the cheapest way to ship a car from Boston?
Open transport with flexible pickup dates. Avoiding college move-in/move-out peak weeks also
helps with pricing.
Is NexGen licensed to operate in Boston?
Yes. We're FMCSA licensed (MC# 1482694, USDOT# 3969190), bonded, insured, and BBB
Accredited with an A+ rating.
Can I leave items in the car during shipping?
Carriers aren't liable for personal belongings and may refuse them. Remove everything before
shipping.
