Shipping a car out of New Haven: the main lanes
Distances from New Haven to the largest metros; measured routes are driving miles, the rest are estimated and marked ≈.
| From New Haven to | Distance | Truck drive time | Household move on this route |

Drive time assumes a loaded car hauler averaging about 55 mph with legal rest; a shared truck also stops for the other cars on the deck, so door-to-door takes longer than the drive.

Pickup in New Haven and checking the carrier
A loaded car hauler is about 75 feet long, so on narrow New Haven streets the driver may ask to meet at a wide lot; agree the spot when you book. If the quote comes from a broker, ask which carrier's truck will come and open that USDOT number before pickup. Preparing the car and how car shipping is priced cover the rest.

Brokers are registered separately and are not counted.
Who is the largest auto transporter near New Haven?

How much does it cost to ship a car from New Haven?
We publish no car-shipping price model, so this page prints no figures. The quote is set by the lane (New Haven to New York City, NY is about 81 miles), open or enclosed transport, the car's size and whether it runs, the season and direction, and how flexible your pickup window is. The pricing guide linked below explains each factor.
Will a car hauler pick up at my door in New Haven?
Usually as close as a 75-foot rig can legally and physically get. On narrow residential streets, in HOAs that bar commercial trucks, or where overhead lines are low, the driver will ask to meet at a wide lot nearby. Agree the meeting point when you book, not when the truck is idling.

18 of the 40 listed here were inspected in the past 24 months, 135 inspections in all. Vehicles were put out of service in 32 of 77 vehicle inspections (41.6%), against 32.4% for listed auto transporters nationally.
