Door-to-door Exeter car shipping on the academy calendar, with downtown hand-offs on Portsmouth Avenue off Route 101 and driveways in the newer subdivisions.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Exeter, the state’s capital during the Revolution, where Route 101 passes the north edge of town, the Squamscott drops over its falls behind the brick downtown, Phillips Exeter Academy fills the blocks south of Water Street, and the Downeaster stops at the old depot. From the brick downtown or the Route 101 exits, the car travels with a licensed, insured carrier that passed our vetting before it was given the job.
Exeter is simple for a truck to reach and tight to drive through. Route 101 brings a carrier over from I-95 at Hampton in about ten minutes, and the Portsmouth Avenue strip near the highway has lots big enough for a 75-foot rig. Downtown is different: Water Street and Front Street are narrow eighteenth-century blocks, the academy’s streets are no place for a car hauler, and the neighborhoods off Lincoln and Court Streets have cars parked at both curbs, so hand-offs there happen on Portsmouth Avenue or at a Route 108 lot agreed at booking. We plan academy arrivals in September and departures in June, family relocations, and cars moving between the Seacoast and the rest of the country.

Our New Hampshire car shipping guide picks up where this page stops, with routes, seasons and prices for every other part of the state.
Early-September arrivals and early-June departures get pickup windows booked ahead, with a Portsmouth Avenue hand-off that keeps the truck off campus.
Water Street and the old neighborhoods get a meeting point on Portsmouth Avenue or Route 108, fixed when you book.
Put the trip, the vehicle and your timing into the quote calculator and it emails an Exeter estimate, which a specialist then calls to confirm. Your coordinator stays the same from that first quote until the car is signed for at delivery.
Exeter sits about ten minutes off I-95 by Route 101, roughly an hour from Boston. Five factors decide what your move costs:
Downtown and academy addresses hand off on Portsmouth Avenue or at a Route 108 lot, while the newer subdivisions usually take the truck at the door. The Exeter rows for New York, Charlotte, Chicago, Orlando and San Francisco are distance bands: what customers paid for open-carrier moves of similar length in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026.
Read these as prices for a sedan in running order on an open carrier. An SUV, a pickup or a car that does not run will cost more, and enclosed transport, worth it for a collector car, adds about a third. For your Exeter route, the quote calculator sends an estimate by email, or a call to (866) 821-4555 gets you a quote. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.

Please note: Exeter has no lanes of our own on this table; the New York, Charlotte, Chicago, Orlando and San Francisco figures come from open-carrier sedan moves of a similar distance booked from September 2025 to August 2026. The season, fuel and your vehicle change what you pay, and we book at the calculator’s quote.
