It depends where it is going, and we have measured the busy ones. Chicago runs $1,050 to $1,150. Orlando $1,250 to $1,450. Miami $1,300 to $1,500. Dallas $1,350 to $1,600. Seattle $1,800 to $2,000. Coming the other way, Atlanta into the Bronx is $900 to $1,100. All of it is open trailer, operable mid-size vehicle.

Loads that actually moved on those routes, reviewed through September 2026. We work through a corridor load by load rather than averaging the country and calling it a Bronx price. Where we have not done that work yet, we say so and quote you live instead.

Because it is the only one attached to the mainland. Manhattan is an island, Staten Island is an island, and Brooklyn and Queens sit on Long Island. A carrier reaching any of those has to commit to a bridge or a tunnel. A truck coming down Interstate 95 reaches a Bronx address without crossing water at all.

It widens your options, which is the part that matters. More carriers can take a Bronx address without planning a crossing around height limits and tolls, so there are usually more trucks that can say yes to your car. It is the quiet advantage of shipping from this borough.

On the expressways, yes. The Bruckner, the Cross Bronx and the Major Deegan all carry commercial traffic. The parkways are a different matter: the Hutchinson River, Bronx River and Mosholu are closed to commercial vehicles and their bridges sit too low for a loaded hauler. Your driver's route in is rarely the one you would drive.

Riverdale, Fieldston, Country Club, Throgs Neck, Pelham Bay and City Island, where driveways and wider streets are normal and most collections happen at the door. Riverdale's steeper hillside blocks are the one exception worth mentioning when you book.

Mott Haven, Melrose, Fordham, Belmont, Concourse and much of the South Bronx have parked cars end to end and no gap long enough to load safely. The handover moves to a wider street or a store lot a short walk away, agreed when you book and carrying no charge. It is how most of those pickups run.

It helps, and most people assume the opposite. When one side of your block clears for street cleaning, that gap is often the best moment all week for a carrier to load. Tell us your cleaning days when you book and we will aim the window at one of them rather than fighting the parking.

It affects the hour rather than the day. That stretch of Interstate 95 is among the most congested in the country, so a collection set outside the afternoon peak holds its time far better. If you can give us a morning or a midday slot, take it.

Two to four days to Chicago. Three to five to Orlando or Miami. Four to six to Dallas. Seven to ten days coast to coast. Those are road days, counted from when your car goes on the trailer, and your collection window comes before them.

The spread of days we work within to get a trailer to you, six days as standard and three with expedited. It sits ahead of the road days rather than inside them. Metro New York sees constant carrier traffic, so a Bronx car often gets placed at the early end of that spread.

An honest oddity, and it is in our own numbers. Los Angeles runs $1,900 to $2,300 while San Diego, further south and a little further away, runs $1,850 to $2,050. Past about 2,500 miles the delivery market matters more than the mileage. Ask for both if your West Coast address is flexible.

Yes, all five boroughs and the wider metro. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island are routine for us, and so are Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle and Westchester. The crossings mean those collections are planned a little differently, which we handle at booking.

The Bronx is one of our service areas rather than a place to visit, run through our national line on 888-709-9078. Your car goes from your address straight onto the trailer, so there is nothing to drop off anywhere. Our four staffed offices are in Lakewood, Chicago, Los Angeles and Kissimmee.

No. We do not make outbound sales calls or send sales texts, so your quote comes back to you and the next move is yours. That is separate from us being reachable: call 888-709-9078 any time and we will price your route on the phone, and once an order is live the driver will of course be in touch to arrange the handover.

Give us the widest collection window you can. A driver filling his last space will often take a car nearby rather than drive further for another one, and a wider window gives us far more chances to catch one of those. Booking a week or two ahead does the same job.

Two. October through December the whole Northeast sends cars south at once, and March through May it comes back. Summer is relocation season and the college turnovers in late August and mid-May are the tightest couple of weeks in the metro. Two to three weeks of notice matters most in those windows.

It costs a day now and then rather than causing trouble. Snow across the interior can add a day to a westbound run between January and March. The Interstate 95 corridor itself very rarely closes, so southbound Bronx lanes are barely affected.

Yes, and almost every car we move travels that way. Yours sits with eight or nine others on an uncovered two-level rig, the same kind that delivers new stock to dealerships. Open rigs hold the most vehicles, so more of them run this corridor and you wait less.

A classic, a show car, an exotic, anything low to the ground, or fresh paintwork. Enclosed is about 80 percent above open. Winter road salt across the Northeast is a reasonable extra motive. Ask us to price both and let the two figures decide.

It narrows the collection window from six days to three. The drive is unchanged, because the hours a driver may work are set by federal rule. On a two to four day run to Chicago that window is a real share of your timeline, so it is worth more here than on a coast to coast move.

Carrier Cargo Insurance, and the policy belongs to the trucking company assigned to your vehicle rather than to us. It is live from the moment the car is loaded in the Bronx until it comes off at the far end. We hold the certificate as soon as a carrier accepts and it is yours to see whenever you ask.

Never. It goes from your address straight onto the trailer and off again at the other end. There is no terminal, no holding lot and no gap in the cover. Nor does a second trucking company take over partway, which is where most damage claims in this business begin.

Yes, in about a minute, on a federal database. SAFER is the FMCSA's free public lookup. Enter a USDOT number and it returns that company's operating authority and the insurance filed against it. Ours is USDOT 2887232, MC 969368.

Usually yes, within reason. Around a hundred pounds, in the trunk, nothing piled where the driver needs to see. The cover is on the vehicle rather than its contents, so bring anything valuable with you. Take the toll tag off the windshield as well.

Wash it so the condition report is accurate, clear out your belongings, leave about a quarter tank and switch the alarm off. Photograph all four corners in daylight the day before. Five minutes of that makes the handover at the other end simple.

Yes. It needs a trailer with a winch and a driver equipped for it. Budget $200 upward on top of the figures on this page. Tell us at the quote stage whether it rolls, steers and brakes, because those three answers decide which rig we send.

Both fine and both common here. A bigger vehicle takes more of the deck and adds weight, so it prices above a mid-size sedan. Send the year, make and model and we will price the vehicle you actually own rather than a category.

Yes, and households leaving the metro do it regularly. Two vehicles on one trailer to the same address is more efficient for the driver, and the second usually prices below the first. Ask for them together rather than as two orders.

Student, military and senior discounts are all available in either direction, and the college moves out of Fordham, Lehman, Manhattan College and Bronx Community College are regular work for us. Mention it when you ask for the quote.

Someone has to release the car and sign the condition report, but it need not be you. Any responsible adult will do: a partner, a relative, a neighbor, a building super, a coworker. Give us their name and cell number at booking.

Yes. The price we quote is the price you pay, as long as the vehicle, the route, the condition and the shipping details stay the same. That is the Smart Price Promise, and it is why we would rather measure a route properly than publish a number we would have to walk back.
