Hempstead Car Shipping in the Middle of Nassau

Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Hempstead, the village at the center of Nassau County where Hempstead Turnpike and Peninsula Boulevard carry the traffic a truck can use, the Meadowbrook and Southern State run the parkways a truck cannot, the university campus fills the east side, the bus terminal makes the village the county’s transit hub, and one of Long Island’s first English settlements keeps its busy hub blocks. Any carrier we put on the job is licensed and insured, and it has to pass our vetting before the assignment is made.

The Meadowbrook and the Southern State are closed to trucks, so the carrier reaches central Nassau on the Long Island Expressway and Hempstead Turnpike, and lots along the Turnpike or Peninsula Boulevard give a 75-foot rig room to load a minute off the road. On most residential streets the truck can stop at the house; around the transit center, where buses fill the curbs, the driver meets you on Hempstead Turnpike or Peninsula Boulevard instead, at a spot agreed when you book. We arrange cars for students on the Hofstra calendar, cars sent to relatives in the South, and first cars for new arrivals, and a nor’easter in the forecast gets a spare day in the plan.

Speak with a coordinator now at (866) 821-4555 for pickup at any address in Hempstead, Uniondale, Garden City, or Freeport, or request an estimate by email through the quote calculator.

Why Hempstead Movers Choose Ship A Car

A Relative Can Meet the Truck

The person who books receives every detail in writing, and anyone named on the order who shows an ID can hand over or collect the car at either end.

Parkway Rule Built In

The Meadowbrook and the Southern State ban trucks, so the meeting point is fixed on Hempstead Turnpike or Peninsula Boulevard, roads the truck can legally use.

Estimate by Email, Confirmed by Phone

Our quote calculator emails an estimate for a central Nassau pickup from the route, the vehicle and your dates, and a specialist calls to confirm the price. A single coordinator answers for the order from the first call through the inspection at delivery.

What Sets Your Hempstead Car Shipping Price

Hempstead sits in the middle of Nassau County, with the Turnpike and Peninsula Boulevard carrying its truck traffic and the nearby parkways closed to haulers. What you pay depends on five things:

1. The Lane

2. Where the Car Loads

3. Vehicle Size, Weight, and Condition

4. Season

5. Open or Enclosed

The Norfolk, Raleigh and Houston rows for Hempstead are distance bands, showing what customers paid when their cars traveled a similar distance in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026, either way. Jacksonville and San Francisco count only cars coming to Long Island: they are the middle half of our own open-carrier orders from Florida to New York and from California to New York since 2023.

Each band assumes a running sedan on an open carrier, so plan on more for an SUV, a pickup or a car that will not start, and about a third more for an enclosed trailer. To price your own Hempstead, Uniondale or Garden City pickup, use the quote calculator or call (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.

Living in Hempstead: What Movers Should Know

First Settlements

Hempstead counts among Long Island’s first English settlements.

The Transit Hub

The bus terminal and the station make the village the county’s crossroads.

The Campus

The university fills the east side and moves students every August and May.

The Parkways

The Meadowbrook and the Southern State are closed to trucks; carriers use the Turnpike instead.

Please note: Norfolk, Raleigh and Houston on this Hempstead page are distance bands from bookings between September 2025 and August 2026, and Jacksonville and San Francisco are the middle half of our own open-carrier orders from Florida to New York and from California to New York since 2023. Your block, the month and fuel prices can change the final figure, and the price we book is the one a specialist confirms after the emailed Hempstead estimate.
