New Hampshire Car Shipping Made Easy
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from New Hampshire?
Shipping your car to or from New Hampshire is usually a breeze! You can expect costs to range from $800 to $1,300 for standard open carrier transport. The price can vary based on factors like how far you’re going, the type of vehicle you’re shipping, and what time of year it is. For example, moving a sedan from Concord, NH, to Chicago might set you back about $900, while shipping an SUV from Manchester, NH, to Miami could be around $1,200. If you have a luxury or classic car, you might want to consider enclosed transport. It offers extra protection and typically costs about 30–50% more.

How long does vehicle shipping take?
Transit time depends on distance and route. Shipping a vehicle from Boston or southern New Hampshire to New York might take just 1–2 days, while transport to or from the West Coast can take 7–10 days. Seasonal weather in New Hampshire, especially winter snow in the White Mountains, can sometimes cause minor delays, but we keep you updated every step of the way.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every shipment with Smart Auto Move is covered by the carrier’s federally required liability and cargo insurance. This protects your vehicle from damage that could occur during loading, transport, or unloading. You’ll receive full details of the coverage before pickup, so you can feel confident your car is protected.
Should I choose open or enclosed transport?
Open carrier transport is the most affordable and widely used method, perfect for everyday vehicles. Enclosed transport offers added protection from New Hampshire’s winter road salt, snow, or rain, making it a popular choice for luxury, vintage, or high-value cars. Smart Auto Move offers both options so you can choose what’s best for your vehicle and budget.
Can I ship a car that isn’t running?
Yes, we can ship inoperable vehicles to or from New Hampshire. Special equipment is used to safely load and unload non-running cars, though this service typically costs slightly more. Be sure to let us know in advance so we can arrange the proper carrier and equipment.
How do I prepare my car for shipping?
Before pickup, remove all important personal items, wash the exterior so pre-shipment inspection is clear, and check that the gas tank is no more than a quarter full. In winter, it’s wise to ensure your vehicle has antifreeze suited for New Hampshire’s cold temperatures. We’ll guide you through each step so your vehicle is ready for a smooth, on-time delivery
Can I put personal items in my vehicle during shipping?
Yes, you”ll be allowed up to 100 pounds of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. However, these items are not covered by insurance, and excess weight may raise your shipping cost. Always confirm with Smart Auto Move before packing your vehicle.
