Shipping a car in Massachusetts
Boston-area snowbirds are one of Florida's biggest groups, and students, hospital staff and tech workers move in and out every year. Narrow streets in Boston, Cambridge and older towns often mean meeting a large carrier at a nearby wide road or lot.
Main routes: I-90 (the Mass Pike), I-95, I-93 and I-495.
Cities we serve include Boston, Worcester, Springfield and Lowell, plus every other town in Massachusetts: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Massachusetts
Winter weather
Winters in Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts?
Once the car arrives, register it with the Massachusetts RMV. 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.
