Providence & Rhode Island Car Shipping | Auto Transport

Car Shipping in Providence and Across Rhode Island

Rhode Island is small, but a car leaving it still has to cross several states to reach most destinations. ABC Auto Shipping arranges door-to-door transport from Providence and every town around it, on carriers that run the I-95 corridor between Boston, New York and the South every week. Whether you are a Brown student heading home, a family relocating to Florida, or a buyer bringing a car in from out of state, we handle the booking, the carrier and the updates.

Choosing a Car Shipping Company in Rhode Island

Searching for the best car shipping companies in Rhode Island usually turns up a long list of brokers. Here is what sets our service apart for Providence customers:

A quote you can hold us to: The price you approve is the price you pay. No fuel surcharge or “dispatch fee” is added after the car is loaded.

No deposit or card to book: We do not ask for payment to reserve a spot. You pay the carrier at delivery once the car is back in your hands.

Carriers that know New England streets: Our drivers are used to the narrow streets of Federal Hill and the East Side, and they will agree a safe meeting point when a full trailer cannot reach the curb.

I have used ABC 3 times now in the last 3 years to ship my cars from San Diego to DC and back. Each time they were very knowledgeable, clear, and competent. The pick-ups and deliveries were on time and easy. I will use them again and I recommend them.

Arman and ABC Auto Shipping provided a great service. I had them transport my car from California to Florida on a tight timeframe. Arman managed time tightly and picked the car up as promised within a couple of days. The carrier used also communicated well letting me know where the car was along the journey and when it would be delivered.

Arman also followed up after the car was delivered to make sure everything went well.

Overall, excellent service and I would highly recommend ABC Auto Transport.

Arman was very quick and helpful in finding me a carrier to transport my car at a reasonable price from California to Virginia on such short notice and with the current situation (Covid-19). He was able to find a carrier who would transport my car with personal belongings in the trunk up to 100lbs (personal items are not covered by the insurance so it’s recommended not to ship a car with personal items). Arman was readily available to answer all of my questions regarding prepping my car for pick up and even kept in contact to make sure the transportation company had called me to schedule a pick up time/date. The driver thoroughly checked my car for preexisting scratches/damage and I signed a release form on a Friday. I was quoted that my car would arrive in Virginia within 7-11 days and my car arrived in Virginia the following Thursday! Luckily my husband was able to pick up my car as I am still in California and flying to Virginia tomorrow morning. The driver was able to contact my husband and schedule a pick up time and location. My husband says the process was very easy and the car arrived safely will all of my belongings in tact and just the way I stored them (I took photos/video of my belongings). I highly recommend ABC Auto Shipping for their fast and professional service!

Great Service. Working with Aman was great. Our car was shipped cross country and we had to sync it up with our arrival. Car was delivered on our agreed date and at a convenient location at the agreed price. Driver was great and communicated with us to syn up delivery and car was delivered in same condition as we left it. Couldn't ask for much more Thank You ABC.

We live in California and ordered a Jeep from Tennessee for my daughter’s 16th birthday. I was very nervous, however everything went great. We even had to delay the pick up due to the dealership. We were not charged extra. When the car was ready it was picked up within a day or two and delivered one day sooner than expected.

Thank you very much for your excellent service! Everything went well, as planned. Arman provided all the indispensable information we requested and was extremely responsive to our shipping needs. The car was picked up on location at the agreed upon time in Madison, WI. It was then safely delivered 3 ½ days later in California, arriving in excellent condition. The car was delivered faster than we even expected to our home and arrived in perfect condition! The driver was professional, reliable, and very courteous. The driver attended to important details to ensure safe delivery, and we appreciated his careful work. What a smooth and overall professional transport service! Thank you most kindly. You are great!

Excellent service!!!
We had to ship our car from west coast to east coast and I needed our car to be picked up within 1 or 2 days. After speaking with multiple transportation companies, we finalized ABC Auto Shipping, Inc after reading their excellent reviews on yelp. Since I had never shipped a car before, I was so nervous about it. But Arman from ABC made the process easy. He helped me with everything! He promptly answered/addressed all my questions/concerns. He quickly found a transporter to transport our car. We stayed in touch throughout the process via text messages. The car arrived in the expected time frame. Everything went well according to the plan. Everything was transparent, well communicated, documented and made super easy.
I will definitely use ABC Auto shipping if I have to ship my car again. Many thanks to Arman for all the help. I highly recommend ABC Auto Shipping, Inc. It was a great experience!!!

Needed to transport my BMW from NJ to CA. Had used Arman with ABC Auto shipping in the past so I called him again and happy that I did. received the same quality service as the first time and was given a discount for using their service again. My car was picked up as promised and delivered 1-2 days sooner that expected. Arman is very knowledgeable and very responsive via text message. Transporting a car across the country is nerve racking but Arman made it hassle free. I Could not had asked for a better service. They might be a bit more expensive than some other auto transporter but definitely worth the peace of mind. Thank you!

I had never shipped a car before, but Arman with ABC Auto Shipping in Laguna Hills, CA. made the process very easy. We stayed in touch via text messages, he was prompt in responding and answered all of my questions. When I was ready to proceed, he was able to quickly find a transporter going to northern California. When I dropped the car off, Arman did a detailed inspection of the outside so we were both clear as to the condition of the car at that time. I also appreciated the video he sent showing the car being loaded on the hauler. The car arrived in the expected time frame. Everything was very transparent and documented. It was really easy working with him.

Update: Arman from ABC Auto Shipping recently shipped my 1999 bmw e36 m3 across states to my new location without any problems. He is very communicative and transparent throughout the process which is why I go to him for all my car transport needs. He truly gives much effort to make sure the cars he transports are taken care of with care.

Arman at ABC auto shipping, shipped my specially modified car from Hawaii to California. He provided all the information needed with easy access and I was informed through every step. The shipping was surprisingly quick and the car came in perfect shape. Highly recommend!

Someone to call: You have one coordinator for the whole order, reachable at 877-686-5611, who will tell you if weather on I-95 is affecting the schedule.

Checked insurance: Every carrier must show current cargo insurance before we assign them to a Rhode Island pickup.

Vehicle Transport Options in Providence

Pick the method that fits your car and your season:

Open Auto Transport

The standard option for daily drivers. Your car shares an open carrier with other vehicles heading the same way, which keeps the price down.

Enclosed Auto Transport

Covered trailers protect classic, luxury and new cars from salt spray and winter grime, which is worth considering for any New England shipment between November and March.

Motorcycle Shipping

Bikes ride secured on a carrier or in an enclosed trailer, so you are not riding the bike down I-95 in cold weather.

Boat Transport

Small boats on trailers can travel with our carrier network, useful for owners moving between Narragansett Bay and southern waters.

Top Load Placement

Ask for a top-deck spot and your car avoids drips from vehicles loaded above it. A small extra charge applies.

Moving to or From Providence

Providence is Rhode Island’s capital and largest city, home to Brown University, the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence College and Johnson & Wales. Students and faculty create a steady cycle of moves each May and August.

It is also a commuter city: Boston is roughly an hour north on I-95, and many residents work there while living in Providence, Cranston or Pawtucket.

Rhode Island has strong ties to vehicle shipping too. The Port of Davisville at Quonset, in North Kingstown, is a major entry point for imported cars, so carriers regularly work the state. That steady traffic helps keep Providence pickup windows short.

How Car Shipping From Providence Works

Five steps, with no payment until delivery:

Step 1, ask for a quote: Call 877-686-5611, email info@abcautoshipping.com or use the online form with your pickup and delivery zip codes and vehicle details.

Step 2, confirm: Approve the quote using the secure link we email you. No card is needed.

Step 3, carrier assigned: We match your order to a carrier running your route and confirm the pickup window with you.

Step 4, pickup and transit: The driver inspects and loads the car. Your coordinator keeps you updated while it is on the road.

Step 5, delivery: You inspect the car against the Bill of Lading, sign, and pay the carrier.

Rhode Island Car Shipping Questions

How much does it cost to ship a car from Providence?

The price depends on distance, vehicle size, open or enclosed transport and season. Routes south on I-95 to Florida are busy in fall, which can affect timing and price. Ask for a quote with your dates for an exact figure.

How long does shipping take from Rhode Island?

Moves within New England and to New York usually take 1 to 3 days after pickup. Florida usually takes 3 to 6 days, and the West Coast 7 to 14 days.

Do you pick up in Newport, Warwick and Cranston?

Yes. We cover the whole state, including Newport, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket, East Providence, Johnston and Woonsocket.

Is enclosed transport worth it in winter?

For classic, new or high-value cars, yes. Enclosed trailers keep road salt and slush off the paint and underbody.

Do I need to be present at pickup?

You or a trusted person aged 18 or over must hand over the keys and sign the inspection report at both ends.

Can I leave items in the car?

Most carriers allow a small amount of luggage in the trunk, but it is not insured. Remove valuables, toll transponders such as E-ZPass, and anything loose in the cabin.
