Door-to-door Groton car shipping on the submarine base calendar, with report-date windows and a gate-side lot on Route 12, deployment hand-offs, and real regional bands.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Groton, the Submarine Capital where I-95 crosses the Thames on the big bridge, the base on the river sets the town’s calendar, the shipyard downriver builds the boats, the pharmaceutical campus on the point hires the scientists, the old fort stands over the harbor, and the shore villages of Noank and Mystic run east along the Sound. Your car rides with a licensed, insured carrier we vet before it is assigned.
Groton sits on I-95 between New Haven and Providence, and its car shipping runs on the shoreline window with the base planned around. Carriers pass on I-95 daily, and the lots along Route 12 at I-95 or on Long Hill Road at the interstate take a 75-foot rig a minute off the ramp. Base households on a report date, shipyard and pharmaceutical hires on a start date, and Navy families shipping a car ahead of a deployment are the shipments we see most. The grids take the truck to the door; base households meet it at a lot outside the gate on Route 12, because carriers never enter the installation, the shore villages’ narrow lanes meet it on Route 1, agreed at booking, and a nor’easter carries a day of flex up front from December to March.

Base households get a pickup window worked backward from the report date, and a gate-side lot on Route 12, because carriers never enter the installation.
A sailor deploying can hand off through a spouse and ship the car to family across the country; both names go on the order and the driver calls each at the right end.
Enter your lane, vehicle, and dates in the instant calculator and dispatch books from that figure. One coordinator handles the move from booking to the delivery inspection.
Groton prices on the shoreline window, on I-95 between New Haven and Providence. Five things move your number:
Price is the first question on every Groton call. Connecticut and its neighbors Rhode Island and Massachusetts book enough orders on each of these lanes for a reliable middle, so the bands below are standard-sedan open-transport lanes into and out of southern New England that we have booked since 2023, shown as the middle of the market rather than the cheapest or the most expensive order.
Planning figures, not a quote. Enclosed adds about a third, summer rotations firm every lane, and a pickup or a non-running car prices above a sedan. For the real number on your route use the instant calculator or call (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
The submarine base on the Thames rotates households on its own calendar.
The yard downriver builds the boats and hires on set start dates.
The pharmaceutical campus on the point hires the scientists who fill the new subdivisions.
Noank and Mystic keep their lanes narrow, and the truck meets them on Route 1.
Please note: Estimates on this page are middle-of-the-market bands for standard sedans on open carriers from southern New England lanes (Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts) booked since 2023. Season, fuel, route, and vehicle change the real number, and your calculator quote is the accurate figure.
