Pennsylvania Car Shipping Services
Open Auto Transport
Open transport is the standard and most affordable method for shipping a car. Your vehicle is
loaded onto an open multi-car carrier and driven to the destination. It's the method used by
automakers, rental companies, and dealerships throughout Pennsylvania, and it's safe and
reliable for the vast majority of vehicles on most routes.
Enclosed Auto Transport
Pennsylvania winters bring road salt, snow, and ice — all of which can reach vehicles on open
carriers. For luxury cars, classics, collector vehicles, or anything high-value, enclosed transport
provides a fully sealed trailer with complete protection from road conditions and weather. We
strongly recommend it for winter shipments and for any vehicle where condition is critical.
Door-to-Door Car Shipping
We arrange pickup and delivery as close to your front door as the carrier can legally and safely
access. Philadelphia neighborhoods, Pittsburgh suburbs, and most Pennsylvania communities
are accessible for door-to-door service. Dense urban areas like Center City Philadelphia may
require a nearby lot or parking garage — we coordinate that with you ahead of time.
Expedited Car Shipping
When you need a vehicle moved quickly, our expedited service advances your pickup window
to 24 to 48 hours. Ideal for last-minute relocations, corporate transfers, or auction purchases
with tight pickup deadlines.
Classic and Collector Car Shipping
Pennsylvania has a rich automotive history and a strong collector community. From car shows
in the Lancaster area to private collections in the Main Line suburbs, we ship vintage and high-
value vehicles using enclosed transport with careful, experienced handling.
Dealer and Auction Transport
We work with Pennsylvania dealerships and auction buyers to move inventory reliably. Whether
you're pulling a vehicle from Manheim Pennsylvania — the largest auto auction in the world —
or shipping sold inventory out of state, we handle the logistics efficiently.
Motorcycle Shipping
Motorcycles to and from Pennsylvania are shipped using enclosed crating or soft-tie systems.
All types and makes are welcome.

Shipping a Car To or From Philadelphia
Philadelphia is the East Coast's most active auto transport market outside of New York. I-95, I-
76, and I-295 make it easily accessible for carriers moving up and down the coast and heading
west. Carriers run through Philly constantly, which keeps both availability and pricing
competitive year-round.
The Philadelphia metro includes Cherry Hill and Camden in New Jersey, as well as suburbs like
King of Prussia, Bucks County, and Delaware County in Pennsylvania. All of these areas are
accessible for door-to-door carrier service. For Center City pickups, we work with you to identify
a nearby accessible spot where the carrier can load safely.
- Nexgen Auto Transport
Shipping from Pittsburgh, Allentown, Harrisburg, and Other PA Cities
Pittsburgh is an important Midwest-East gateway city with strong carrier traffic on I-76 and I-79.
The steel industry legacy has given way to healthcare and tech, driving steady relocation
demand. The greater Pittsburgh metro — including Allegheny County and the North Shore — is
fully accessible for door-to-door service.
Allentown, Bethlehem, Harrisburg, Scranton, Erie, and Reading all have serviceable carrier
coverage. Central Pennsylvania's rural areas and mountain regions may have pickup windows a
day or two longer than the major metros, but we cover the full state. For very remote locations,
we can discuss terminal options if timing is critical.

Manheim Pennsylvania – Auction Transport
Manheim Pennsylvania in Lancaster County is the largest auto auction in the world. Thousands
of vehicles move through it every week, and dealers, fleet managers, and online buyers from
across the country purchase vehicles there. NexGen works with buyers to arrange pickup
directly from Manheim and deliver to any address in the US. If you've purchased at Manheim PA
and need reliable transport, call us directly — we know this auction well.
- Nexgen Auto Transport
Preparing Your Car for Shipping in Pennsylvania
• Wash the car before pickup so pre-existing damage is easy to see and document
• Photograph 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 E-ZPass transponders to avoid tolls during transport
• Confirm the car starts and runs — let us know upfront if it doesn’t
• Fold in side mirrors and retract any external antennas
• Review and sign the Bill of Lading carefully at pickup, noting any pre-existing damage

Who Ships Cars to and from Pennsylvania?
College Students
University of Pennsylvania, Penn State, Temple, Drexel, Villanova, Carnegie Mellon, and Pitt all
draw large out-of-state student populations. Shipping a car to campus is a far better option than
a cross-country drive at the start of the school year.
Snowbirds Heading South
Pennsylvania winters are cold, and a large number of residents spend part of the season in
Florida, South Carolina, or Arizona. We ship vehicles south in the fall and back north in the
spring for many Pennsylvania customers each year.
People Relocating
Pennsylvania sees consistent inbound and outbound relocation traffic. Philadelphia's growing
tech and healthcare sectors, Pittsburgh's revitalized economy, and the state's relatively
affordable cost of living all draw people in. Others leave for warmer climates or new
opportunities. Either way, shipping the car is often the most practical part of the move.
Dealer and Auction Buyers
With Manheim Pennsylvania right in the state, dealer and auction transport is a significant part
of what we do in this market. We know how auction pickups work and how to coordinate them
efficiently.
Military Families
Carlisle Barracks, Naval Support Activity Philadelphia, and other Pennsylvania installations
generate PCS vehicle shipping demand. We work with military families on their specific
timelines and can ship to and from any base in the country.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Pennsylvania?
Rates start around $300 for short Northeast hauls like Philadelphia to New York and go up to
$1,300 for cross-country moves. Pricing depends on your route, vehicle type, and transport
method. Call (832) 886-1321 for your quote.
How long does car shipping take to or from Pennsylvania?
Philadelphia to New York can be done in one day. Philadelphia to Miami typically takes 3–4
days. Cross-country to Los Angeles takes 6–8 days. We give you a realistic window at booking.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. All carriers carry cargo insurance as required by the FMCSA. Photograph your vehicle
before pickup to document its condition.
Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery?
Yes — you or a designated contact must sign the Bill of Lading at both the pickup and delivery
locations.
Can you ship a non-running car in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but let us know upfront. Non-running vehicles require special loading equipment and may
cost more.
Do you handle Manheim Pennsylvania auction pickups?
Yes. We work with Manheim PA buyers regularly and can coordinate direct pickup from the
auction facility and deliver anywhere in the US.
Should I use enclosed transport in Pennsylvania winter?
For high-value or classic vehicles, yes. Road salt and winter weather on open carriers can affect
paint and finishes. Enclosed transport eliminates that risk completely.
What's the difference between open and enclosed transport?
Open is standard and affordable. Enclosed uses a sealed trailer — ideal for luxury, classic, or
high-value vehicles, especially in winter months.
Can I leave items inside the car during shipping?
Carriers are not liable for personal belongings and may refuse them. Remove everything from
the car before shipping.
How far in advance should I book?
One to two weeks ahead is ideal. Expedited service is available for shorter notice. Snowbird
season in the fall can tighten availability, so book early if you're planning a winter move south.
Do you service rural and central Pennsylvania cities?
Yes. We cover the full state. Rural and mountain areas may have slightly longer pickup
windows, but we service everywhere in Pennsylvania.
Can Pennsylvania dealerships use NexGen for regular transport?
Yes. We work with PA dealerships and auction buyers on a regular basis and can set up
account pricing for volume shipments.
What's the cheapest way to ship a car from Pennsylvania?
Open transport with flexible pickup dates. Philadelphia's high carrier traffic also gives it some of
the most competitive rates on the East Coast.
Is NexGen licensed to ship in Pennsylvania?
Yes. We are FMCSA licensed (MC# 1482694, USDOT# 3969190), bonded, insured, and BBB
Accredited with an A+ rating.
