Car Shipping in New York City, All Five Boroughs
Shipping a car in New York is less about the miles and more about the last block. A full car carrier is around 75 feet long, and most streets in Manhattan, brownstone Brooklyn and much of Queens are not built for it. ABC Auto Shipping plans each New York pickup around that, choosing a safe, legal meeting point near you when the truck cannot reach your door, so the hand-off is quick and nobody is circling for a space. We move cars in and out of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, plus Long Island, Westchester and nearby New Jersey.
Why New Yorkers Choose ABC Auto Shipping
You get a written total with no deposit, a coordinator who calls before the truck arrives, and a carrier whose insurance we have checked. We are a licensed broker (USDOT #2340626, MC #797279) with an A+ BBB rating. Because the New York to Florida lane on I-95 is one of the busiest in the country, we can usually find a carrier quickly for snowbird moves and relocations south.
New York Car Shipping Options
Pick the option that fits your car, your street and your budget.
Open Carrier Transport
The most common and lowest-cost choice. Your car rides on a multi-car trailer, the same type dealers use. It suits daily drivers, leased cars and most moves out of the city.
Enclosed Auto Transport
A covered trailer keeps winter road salt, sleet and debris off the car. It is the usual choice for collector cars, luxury models and anything coming out of long-term garage storage in the city.
Door to Door Service
Where the truck can legally stop, we collect at your address. Where it cannot, the driver meets you at an agreed spot, such as a wide avenue, a store lot or the garage where you park, and we confirm it with you a day ahead.
How Car Shipping From New York City Works
Four steps, with no payment to book:
Get Your Free Quote
Share your pickup and delivery zip codes, the vehicle and your date. If you are in Manhattan or another tight area, tell us; we will plan the meeting point up front.
Book Your Shipment
Approve the quote and we assign a carrier already running your lane, often I-95 south or I-80 west, and confirm a pickup window.
Inspection and Pickup
You and the driver check the car together and record its condition on the Bill of Lading. Remove E-ZPass tags and parking permits before loading so you are not charged for the truck’s tolls.
Delivery and Final Inspection
At the destination you compare the car with the pickup report, sign and pay the balance to the driver.
What Changes the Price of Shipping a Car From New York
New York quotes depend on the same basics as anywhere else, plus a few local ones:
Distance: New York to Florida costs far less than New York to California, simply because of miles and driver days.
Access: A pickup in a Manhattan side street can take longer than a suburban driveway. Choosing an easy meeting point keeps the price down.
Vehicle size: Pickups, large SUVs and vans take more trailer space than a sedan.
Season: Fall is busy southbound and spring is busy northbound because of snowbird traffic, so rates and wait times rise then.
Transport type and condition: Enclosed costs more than open, and a non-running car needs a winch.
Moving a Car To or From New York City
Many New Yorkers ship a car rather than drive it because the first and last hours of the trip, through bridge and tunnel traffic, are the hardest part. Others move to the city without needing a car at all and ship one out to family. If you are moving in, remember that alternate side parking rules and garage waitlists apply in many neighborhoods, so arrange parking before delivery day. New residents also need to register their vehicle with the New York DMV within 30 days, so keep your title and registration with you when the car arrives.
