Car shipping to and from Connecticut
Moving to Connecticut, leaving it, or shipping a car within the state? Post the trip once and verified carriers and brokers send written quotes to your private dashboard. No spam calls.
Shipping a car in Connecticut
Connecticut sits on the I-95 corridor between New York and Boston, one of the busiest car-carrier lanes in the country, and many Fairfield County and Hartford-area residents spend the winter in Florida. Tight streets in older town centers sometimes mean meeting the truck at a nearby wide lot.
Main routes: I-95, I-91 and I-84.
Cities we serve include Hartford, New Haven, Stamford and Bridgeport, plus every other town in Connecticut: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Connecticut
Winter weather
Winters in Connecticut bring snow and road salt, roughly December to March. Carriers keep running, but a storm can push pickup or delivery by a day or two. A car on an open carrier will arrive salty, so plan a wash.
Peak moving season
June to August is the busiest moving season in North America: school-year moves, new jobs and military transfers all land in summer. Posting early gives you more quotes and more choice of dates.
Moving to Connecticut?
Once the car arrives, register it with the Connecticut DMV. Ask what it needs for a vehicle registered somewhere else (often a VIN check, an inspection or an emissions test) before your old plates or insurance run out.
Shipping across the Canadian border? Only companies that handle cross-border work will quote, and you'll need the ownership or title, ID and a signed authorization letter; permanent imports have extra steps. Each cross-border route page explains the paperwork.
