The cost to ship a car from South Burlington is typically $450 to $900 to Boston or New York and up to $1,600 to $2,500 to the West Coast, on an open trailer, and takes between one to ten days in transit time. Boston is about 215 miles and New York about 300.

One to three days to Boston, New York or Albany. Two to five days to Washington, Chicago or Atlanta. Seven to ten days to California. Your pickup window runs ahead of that: six days on Standard, three on Expedited.

The town sits right on I-89 at exits 12, 13 and 14, and its main roads are wide. Williston Road, Shelburne Road, Dorset Street and Kennedy Drive all take a 75-foot hauler comfortably, with large lots along them.

Yes. Many downtown cars are loaded a few minutes away in South Burlington, where the roads are wider and there is room to work. The driver agrees the spot with you ahead of time, and there is no extra charge.

Two to three weeks suits this market. Vermont sits off the busiest freight lines, so a little notice lets us place your car on a truck already heading your way rather than waiting on one.

Late August and mid-May, when students arrive and leave, plus the winter run south in October and November. Give those stretches three to four weeks. February and March are usually the easiest weeks to book.

Not necessarily. Name someone you trust at either end and give us their number. They can walk the car with the driver and sign the condition report for you.

Yes. Most complexes along Dorset Street, Kennedy Drive and Hinesburg Road have room for a carrier. If yours is tight, the driver picks a wide lot a minute or two away.

Yes, at the same price. Williston, Essex, Essex Junction, Winooski, Colchester, Shelburne, Milton, Hinesburg, Jericho and Charlotte are all regular stops for us.

Many customers do. Burlington International Airport is in South Burlington, so you can hand the car over nearby, fly, and meet it at the other end. It is a common choice for winter trips south.

Distance, vehicle size, trailer type, whether the car runs, the season and how wide your date window is. A pickup truck takes more room than a sedan, and a flexible window usually beats a fixed day on price.

Book early and stay flexible on dates. A driver running I-89 with one space left will take a car near his route when the timing works, and a wider window gives us more of those chances.

Open is right for most cars here and it is what our bands cover. Enclosed adds about 80 percent, which turns a $1,000 open move into roughly $1,800. It suits a classic, an exotic or new paint.

It changes the planning, not the service. Snow on I-89 can add a day to a pickup between December and March, so we book a little earlier and pick a plowed, level spot to load.

Yes. The carrier's Carrier Cargo Insurance covers it from pickup to delivery, and we can send you the certificate as soon as your truck is assigned.

Usually yes, within reason. Most drivers will take a few things as a courtesy. Keep it under about 100 pounds, pack it neatly, and keep it out of sight from outside the car. Think a few boxes in the trunk rather than a carload. The one thing to know is that you are paying to move the vehicle, so the carrier's insurance covers the car itself. Keep anything you would hate to lose with you.

Wash the car and photograph each side and the odometer. Leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Take off a ski rack, roof box or toll pass, and mention an alarm or any trick to starting it.

Within 60 days of moving here, or before your current registration expires if that comes first, according to the Vermont DMV. Bring your title, proof of insurance and the registration application to a DMV office.

Yes, and it is quick to sort out. A vehicle without a valid Vermont sticker must be inspected within 15 days of registration. Any licensed inspection station can do it, and several sit within a few minutes of South Burlington.

Yes. The University of Vermont, Champlain College and Saint Michael's are all close by, and August and May fill up fast. Book three to four weeks ahead for those weeks and the dates are yours.

Yes. The Vermont Air National Guard flies from the airport here, and orders move people in and out. Start with your orders, because the vehicle allowance differs by move type, and your transportation office can confirm yours.

A deposit at booking, then the balance at delivery by cashier's check, money order or cash. You can also pay the whole amount by credit card when you book.

Cancel any time before we assign a carrier and your deposit comes back to you. Once we assign one and send you the driver's details, that money is spoken for. It is not gone, though. You can push the move back and use it on a later shipment.

Yes. A winch truck handles it, and that puts $200 or more on top of the running price. Tell us when you ask for a quote so the right equipment is booked.

Look up its USDOT number. Ours is 2887232 and the FMCSA SAFER lookup is free to use. On the BBB side we hold an A+ rating, accredited since 2016. Treat a quote far under the others as a reason to ask questions.

Yes. You get the driver's number for calls and texts, we email updates, and GPS tracking is there when the carrier's truck supports it.
