Cost to Ship a Car To/From and Within Massachusetts

On average, it costs around $0.75 per mile to ship a car to/from and within Massachusetts, with a price range of $0.40-$1.00 per mile. However, looking at the bigger picture, it’s really not that simple. In fact, the shipping price varies depending on the following factors:

Distance: The cost to ship a car within Massachusetts or to/from the state changes with distance. The further the distance, the higher the cost will be. For instance, the shipping cost from Boston to Springfield is around $150.

But, if you’re shipping your vehicle to another state, such as from Boston, MS to Los Angeles, CA, the shipping cost will be around $1,200. Here are some examples of the average cost of shipping cars between different cities in Massachusetts:

• Springfield to Lynn costs around $100 to $200 for 101 miles

• Denvers to Springfield costs about $150 to $200 for 109 miles

• Boston to Pittsfield costs about $200 to $250 for 137 miles

And, if you’re moving from another state, here are some examples of the average cost to transfer your car to Massachusetts:

• New York to Massachusetts costs around $300 to $400 for 215 miles

• Florida to Massachusetts costs around $800 to $1,000 for 1,335 miles

• California to Massachusetts auto transport costs from $1,200 to $1,500 for 3,055 miles

Vehicle Type: The weight, body type, and size of the vehicle also impacts the cost to ship. For instance, if you ship a lighter and smaller sedan, the cost will be lower than moving a truck or Van.

Season: Summer is usually the peak season for shipping companies in Massachusetts. The demand is high and the availability of carriers is low, so it will naturally cost more to ship a vehicle in the summer season than in winter.

Transportation Method: The type of transportation you pick also affects the final shipping cost. For instance, it costs 30-40% more to haul your car inside the enclosed trailer than open carriers. This is mainly because of the superior protection enclosed carriers offer.

Though the car shipping costs depend on several factors, Easy Auto Ship works on what you see is what you get and offers affordable rates for moves throughout the U.S.

You can expect affordable and competitive pricing with Easy Auto Ship, one of the best auto transport companies. Don’t just take our word for it; please have a look at the glowing reviews from satisfied customers who have used our car transport service.

How Long it Takes to Transport a Car To/From Massachusetts?

With our reliable services, it will approximately take 1 to 9 days to ship a car to/from or within Massachusetts. However, in case a delay occurs, it will be mostly due to the following factors:

• Weather Condition: Weather in Massachusetts, especially in winters makes it difficult for shipping companies to deliver on time. The federal data shows, about 24% of the weather-related accidents in the U.S. occur on snowy, slushy, and icy roads. And Massachusetts sees its fair share of such incidents, which can result in a temporary delay in your vehicle delivery time.

• Road Conditions: Massachusetts experiences statewide road construction and maintenance activities throughout the year, due to which road closures can occur, resulting in the delay of your vehicle delivery. However, it’s not necessary that it will happen. It’s just in case, if due to the road closure, the carrier has to take an alternative route or travel a longer distance.

• Carrier Capacity: Another potential reason for the delay is carrier capacity. This usually happens in the summer season when the demand is high and there’s a shortage of carriers.

• Towing or loading delays: Delay in towing or loading of your car can also delay its transport time. This usually happens when we get inaccurate vehicle information from customers. For instance, the vehicle is inoperational but we were not notified of that so after arriving for pickup, the carrier will have to arrange for a winch or forklift to load/unload the car.

However, we understand your concern and frustration regarding the delays. That’s why we offer timely updates throughout the entire journey. In fact, you can track your vehicle in real-time. We’ll inform you if there’s any change of route or a potential delay in delivery time.

That said, here are some examples of the average time it takes to ship a vehicle from one state to the other or within different cities of Massachusetts.

Additionally, here’s another table for how long it will take to ship a vehicle over certain distances.

Step 2

Prepare your vehicle for pickup

There are a few things you need to take care of before the journey begins. For instance, make sure your car is clean before the pickup and there are no personal items in it, as auto carriers are not licensed to carry non-automobile items. Moreover, to save yourself from additional charges, remove any toll tags or parking permits from your car. And finally, take pictures and videos of your car from different angles to later match these with the condition of your car at the time of delivery.

Step 3

Vehicle Pickup and Delivery

Our team will provide you with the carrier’s contact details and a pickup window. Don’t worry, we strive to pick up vehicles on time and ensure they have a safe loading, unloading, and overall transit. The carrier will also carry through vehicle inspection with you at the time of delivery to ensure you can match it with the condition post-shipping. The carrier will contact you before coming for pickup as well as before arriving for pickup and delivery so you’re ready for both situations.

International Auto Transport Services to and from Massachusetts:

Trusted by over 5,000 customers, we offer international car transport services to and from Massachusetts. We’re the most trusted haulers in the state, offering stress-free, port-to-port delivery options. Our international auto shipping service has two main transport methods, the roll-on/roll-off method and container shipping.

1. Roll-on/Roll-off Method: With the roll-on/roll-off method, your vehicle will be rolled onto a ship, secured, and delivered at your destination. It’s a budget-friendly method, as your car will be exposed to the sea weather and unforeseen circumstances.
2. Container Shipping: This is a more secure method with your vehicle being loaded into a container, secured, and shipped to its destination via sea. RoRo is the most suitable method here for most vehicles. Container auto shipping is a bit expensive, sometimes up to 40% and even more than that if you book a full container instead of consolidating the load. We only recommend this for luxury/exotic vehicles or those vintage cars with financial as well as sentimental values.

Internationally auto transport to and from Massachusetts can vary in costs depending on the distance, type of your car, and the shipping method you choose. For instance, if you’re shipping a 2019 Toyota Camry from Boston to Tokyo on a roll-on/roll-off, the shipping cost will be $3,500. But for the same car and same destination, the price will increase with a different shipping method. For instance, it will increase to around $4,500 with container shipping.

Here are some other similar examples:

Shipment Time:

International shipments take several weeks or months to deliver. For instance, if you’re shipping a vehicle from Boston to London, it will take around 3-4 weeks. Or it can take even longer if the destination is some remote location, like areas in rural Canada.

That’s why our experts highly suggest doing your research beforehand and planning your vehicle shipping ahead of time, so you can have your vehicle when you need it. Reach out to us for further details. We’ll help you understand custom details and will guide you with shipping documents too.

Inter-State Transport Services To And From Massachusetts:

We offer highly reliable and affordable shipping services to and from Massachusetts. And we use two main transport methods for our interstate transport services:

1. Open Carrier Transport
2. Enclosed Carrier Transport

Both of these shipping methods serve different purposes and have varying costs to ship your vehicle to and from Massachusetts.

Cost

State to state car transport to and from Massachusetts costs less per mile but may be more in total because longer distance prices usually cost $0.5 to $0.75 per mile, which is less than $1 per mile for up to 500 miles. Then there’s also time of year, gas prices, vehicle type (SUV, sedan, truck, RV etc.), and any addons like top load or expedited pickups that increase the car shipping cost.

For instance, if you ship a Honda Civic from Massachusetts to sunny California, the price will begin at $1,200. But if you ship a different vehicle to the same destination, let’s say you ship a 2022 Mazda Miata, the price will begin at $1,550.

Here are some more examples about how the price changes with distance and vehicle type.

Get a custom quote using our online calculator or contact our team directly.

Shipment Time:

Expect 3-7 days for car shipping to nearby cities and states to/from Massachusetts.  For instance, it will take around 4-6 days to ship your vehicle to Florida. For longer distances, like from Massachusetts to Texas, expect 5-7 days.

For even longer, cross country distances like Massachusetts to California, delivery can take up to 10 days.

Distance is not the only factor affecting the timeline, weather conditions, route situations requiring detours, and occasional equipment breakdown can also sometimes cause delays.

However, no matter how long it takes to ship your vehicle, we’ll always keep you informed and in the loop with our team and the driver.

City-to-City Transport Services to And From And Within Massachusetts:

Are you looking to ship your vehicle within the state or to/from the state? Easy Auto Ship offers affordable, timely, and reliable city-to-city car shipping within Massachusetts and to/from other states’ cities.

The cost of shipping your vehicle within or to/from Massachusetts heavily depends on the total distance, the transport mode (enclosed or open) and vehicle type. Here’s some estimates to give you an idea of cysts.

• Boston to Worcester: Starting at $100 for compact cars within 0-1 days

• Springfield to Pittsfield: Starting at $100 for sedans within 0-1 days

• Salem to Martha’s Vineyard: Starting at $200 for SUVs within 1-2 days

Car Registration Procedure in Massachusetts:

First things first, you’ll need to go through the registration of your vehicle within 30 days of becoming a resident. That said, here are different registration procedures for different situations:

Vehicle Registration When Moving to Massachusetts:

First, you’ll need to gather all the necessary documents and information, including:

• Proof of ownership

• Proof of insurance

• Your driver’s license.

Once you’ve got all your ducks in a row, you can either register your vehicle in person at your local RMV (Registry of Motor Vehicles) office or online.

If registering in person, you must fill out the appropriate forms and pay any applicable fees. The RMV staff will verify your information and issue new registration and license plates.

If you choose to register online, you’ll still need to provide all the necessary information and pay the fees, but you can do it from your home.

Moreover, you’ll have to give an odometer disclosure statement at the RMV office along with all the documentation and proofs.

The registration process typically takes a few days to complete, so plan accordingly.

Furthermore, you’ll also need to renew your registration annually, so mark your calendars from the dat you get your registration done!

Speaking of moving to Massachusetts, let’s dive into the specific requirements for registration of a vehicle as a newcomer. You’ll need to provide the following:

• Proof of auto ownership (title or bill of sale)

• Proof of insurance

• Completed application for registration and title.

• You’ll also need to have your vehicle inspected at a licensed inspection station within 7 days of registering it.

And of course, don’t forget to bring your charming personality and sense of adventure - they’re required for all new residents.

Converting Vehicle Registration:

If you want to convert the registration of your vehicle, you need to follow the steps below:

• Go to a Massachusetts-based insurance agent and buy an auto insurance policy.

• Ask the insurer to prepare the registration and title application (Form TTLREG100) for you and ensure they put the stamp and sign on the registration application.

• The registration application should have the vehicle title number and the lienholder’s full name if the car has a lien.

• Verify the registration application is complete and then sign it.

Once done, provide the following to the RMV office:

• The Form MVU-29 exempts you from the sales tax on the vehicle purchased out of Massachusetts.

• Signed and dated title and registration application

• Previous state’s title

• Registration tax and fees payment proof

Vehicle Registration for Military:

Now, let’s talk about military vehicles. If you’re an armed forces personnel stationed in Massachusetts, you’re exempt from specific registration fees and taxes.

You’ll need to provide proof of your military status, orders, and all the usual registration documents. And thank you for your service, by the way - we appreciate you!

Registration For Non-Residents:

If you’re in Massachusetts but not a resident, like a student or for temporary work, you are not obliged to go through registration.

However, you must submit a statement as a driver from a different state to the MA police. If you do not do this, you may have to pay a $200 fine.

Registration for Getting Vehicle From Dealership:

The registration process is pretty straightforward if you’re purchasing a vehicle from a dealership.

The dealership will handle most of the paperwork and registration, so you can focus on picking the perfect car.

Just be sure to double-check all the details and fees before signing on the dotted line.

Registration When Getting The Vehicle From a Private Seller:

And if you’re purchasing from a private seller, you’ll need to handle the registration process yourself.

Be sure to get all the necessary documents and information from the seller, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Here’s the registration process:

• Get auto insurance from an MA insurance provider

• Ask the insurer to prepare the registration and title application (Form TTLREG100) for you and ensure they put the stamp and sign on the registration application.

• The registration application should have the vehicle title number and the lienholder’s full name if the car has a lien.

• Ensure the title certificate from the previous owner is present and signed by both the seller and buyer.

• Mileage statement (odometer disclosure)

• Registration-free payment and taxes

Registration For Vehicle Acquired or Gifted:

Massachusetts residents who have received an automobile as a gift or acquired it in any other way from a family member or friend may not have to give sales tax if the giver is their:

• Parent

• Spouse

• Child

• Sibling

The process for gifted vehicle registration is as follows:

Visit an MA-licensed insurance agent to get vehicle insurance

Ask the insurer to prepare the registration and title application (Form TTLREG100) for you and ensure they put the stamp and sign on the registration application.

Once done, provide the following to the RMV office:

• The Form MVU-29 exempts you from the sales tax on the vehicle purchased out of Massachusetts.

• Signed and dated title and registration application (TTLREG100)

Registration for Out-of-State Vehicles:

Finally, let’s discuss importing an out-of-state vehicle to Massachusetts. If you’re getting your vehicle into the state from another state or country, you’ll need to provide proof of ownership, proof of insurance, and a completed application for registration and title.

You’ll also need to have your vehicle inspected and pass a Massachusetts emissions test. It’s a bit more complicated than registration for an automobile already in the state, but it’s worth it for that sweet, sweet out-of-state car charm.

Massachusetts Vehicle Registration Fees:

The registration fee for vehicles in Massachusetts varies depending on factors such as:

• Vehicle type (motorcycle or passenger car)
• Frequency of MA resident’s registration renewal (biennial or annual)

Frequently Asked Questions:

With Nearly 5,000 Online Reviews—Including Google, BirdEye, and BBB— Here’s What People Say About Our Massachusetts Auto Shipping

⭐Review From Peter Lewko

“Had auction vehicle shipped from MA to CT Picked up within 2 days and delivered that day. No issues. Driver was great despite the auction not providing keys. Will use in the future. My agent, Hasan Staton was very helpful."

How We Moved Peter Lewko’s Auction Vehicle Ma to CT

Peter required us to pick up his auction vehicle from Massachusetts and deliver it to Connecticut. Being the auto-moving enthusiasts that we are, we happily accepted the challenge. Hasan, our support agent, found the willing carriers for him, and the whole pickup to delivery process took only 3 days. Although the auction house gave a little trouble to our driver by not providing him with the car keys, we still managed to load the car safely and move it to CT.

⭐Review From Ryan S

“Overall great experience. Shipped my car from the east coast to Texas without any issues. Cost was decent and car arrived with no damages and even got a complimentary car wash after delivery.”

How We Hauled Ryan’s Car From Massachusetts to Texas

When we quote the cost to ship a car, we ensure our clients do not have to pay any higher than that. But sometimes, the costs go a little higher as on-road conditions vary significantly. However, we do make up for other things that are in our control, like a free car wash if a vehicle arrives a little dirty. We did the same for Ryan. He needed to move his vehicle From Massachusetts to Texas. And while the vehicle was delivered without a single scratch, it arrived with a bit of dirt, which may have cost Ryan a little to wash. So we saved him the trouble and offered him a free car wash.

⭐Review From Garret Mach

“After a few very frustrating days being bombarded with disrespect and suggestions that I’m stupid, I finally found EasyAutoShip. They were beyond accommodating, respectful and weren’t interested in playing games like all the other Brokers do. I placed my trust very quickly in them, and had a driver assigned just one hour later at an amazing price. The rig that delivered my Pristine Challenger SRT8 just 6 days later from Boston to Phoenix, was state of the art and the driver called everyday to update me. This without doubt was my best car shipping experience ever in 62 years. Next time I will just call EasyAutoShip directly. Cream of the Crop Broker and a seamless experience all the way!”

How We Restored Garret’s Faith After a Frustrating Experience

Garret wanted to move his beautiful Dodge Challenger SRT8 from Boston, Massachusetts, to Phoenix, Arizona but was having bad experiences with pushy brokers whenever he tried to talk to them. It’s the constant bombardment of messages and talking in a tone that makes customers feel like they don’t know any better that makes most brokers lose their trust. We know people are smart, and they want their money’s worth, which is why we are always respectful, respect other people’s privacy, and stay professional. Frustrated by brokers, Garret contacted us and was immediately impressed with the communication. We quickly matched him with a state-of-the-art enclosed carrier at a super competitive rate for his sweet Dodge Challenger. The carrier called Garret with daily updates throughout the 6-day transit from Boston, MA, to Phoenix, AZ. Garret was beyond impressed by the white-glove service, which he called his best ever after 62 years of shipping cars. He said he would contact us directly next time.

⭐Review From Alise

“We moved from California to Massachusetts this May. I originally scheduled 1 car to be shipped, but then added 3 more cars on short notice. Gary Nichols took care of everything quickly and efficiently while dealing with my brand of crazy. The prices were good, the cars delivered sooner than expected. Not that I ever want to move again, but I would definitely call Gary.”

How We Relocated Alise’s Family’s Cars from California to Massachusetts

Alise had to relocate her family from California to Massachusetts and wanted to move just one car initially, but as a last-minute decision, she added 3 more cars, so we had to move 4 vehicles across the country, which was handled well by our excellent agent, Gary Nichols. Gary provided Alise with a competitive rate, booked her transport, and assigned the driver. The driver picked up her 4 family cars and moved them from California to Massachusetts ahead of the expected date, leaving Alise happy with the service. Although she hopes never to move again, she said if she does in the future, she’d hire Easy Auto Ship without a doubt.

⭐Review From Massimo Paparello

“I had my car picked within 2 days of paying my deposit ($195). I paid the auto carrier $1250 for my sedan from LA to Boston. Other places wanted to charge a whopping $1800?! The auto carrier had great liability insurance and took only 6 days to get to Boston. There wasn’t any nicks from debris or anything on my car. If you want to guarantee your vehicle is picked and dropped off in a timely manner without damage, call up easyautoship and Mike will set you up right.”

How We Saved Massimo $550 Shipping His Car from LA to Boston

Massimo needed someone to move his sedan from Los Angeles, California, to Boston, Massachusetts, but was overwhelmed with the bombardment of quotes from brokers, and that too at super steep prices of $1800. Tired of being persuaded by brokers to take their expensive offers, Massimo chose us for our excellent reputation and competitive pricing. We found him high-quality enclosed transport for only $1250, saving $550 off other brokers! His car arrived safely in Boston just 6 days after pickup, with no damage from road debris. Massimo recommends us for guaranteed timely transport at unbeatable rates.

⭐Review From D.Y Yanko

“Hi everyone. These folks did an absolutely tremendous job ! Lindsay is probably the most patient and understanding lady on the planet. My hearing is gone, and she was great at articulating every word so I completely understood. Two thumbs up to Lindsay, Easy Auto Ship, and the Driver who was so careful delivering my SS Monte Carlo right to my door. May this be your best New Year ever. Thank you.”

How We Hauled D.Y Yanko’s SS Monte Carlo from Massachusetts to Wisconsin

Mr. Yanko had a specific requirement to move his SS Monte Carlo from Massachusetts to Wisconsin. What made things a little difficult for him was his hearing impairment, making it challenging for him to have a thorough discussion with transporters over the phone and properly convey his requirements. However, when he discovered Easy Auto Ship and talked to Lindsay, things became super easy for him. Lindsay patiently communicated with Yanko, helped him understand the complete transport process, and booked his shipment. The driver ensured the SS Monte Carlo was delivered cross country from Massachusetts to Yanko’s door in Wisconsin with meticulous handling.
