Door-to-door Laconia car shipping on the lakes, with camp roads met in town, Motorcycle Week hand-offs moved to the Tilton exit, and winter nor’easters planned for.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Laconia, the city of the Lakes Region, where the big lake fills the north edge and the smaller ones the south, Weirs Beach keeps its boardwalk and its arcade on the water, the motorcycles fill every road for nine days each June, the ski mountain stands across the bay in Gilford, the camps line the shores on dirt roads that many owners never see in winter, and I-93 is fifteen minutes west at Tilton. From a lakefront camp to a house near the downtown, the car goes with a licensed, insured carrier we vetted before giving it the Lakes Region pickup.
Car haulers leave I-93 at Tilton and follow Route 3 into Laconia, or come up Route 106 from the south. The commercial lots along Route 3 near the Tilton exit, on Union Avenue, or on Route 106 at the south end give a 75-foot rig room to load without leaving the main road. Streets on the in-town grid usually take the truck to the door. Camps on the shore sit on dirt lanes a loaded carrier cannot run, so those cars meet the driver in town, and a hill street above the downtown meets it at the bottom, at a spot set when you book. During Motorcycle Week in June the hand-off moves out to the Tilton exit, and a winter nor’easter can push a pickup back a day. We ship for second-home owners closing up a camp, retirees settling at the lake for good, snowbirds sending a car south for the winter, and new hospital staff with a start date to make.
Speak with a coordinator now at (866) 821-4555 for pickup at any address in Laconia, Weirs Beach, Gilford, Belmont, or Meredith, or request an estimate by email through the quote calculator.
Beyond the lakes, our New Hampshire car shipping guide walks through the state’s other corridors and the seasons that shape them.
A 75-foot rig does not run the dirt lanes on the shore, so a camp address meets the truck at a Route 3 lot, where the carriers already are, a few minutes from the door.
Nine days each June fill every road and every lot in the city, so a hand-off that week moves to the Tilton exit on I-93, and we tell you on the first call.
Put the route, the vehicle and your dates into the quote calculator for an emailed estimate on a Lakes Region pickup, and a specialist calls to confirm the final price. From that first quote to the inspection at delivery, the same coordinator stays on your order.
Laconia sits between Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam, a short drive east of I-93 at Tilton. Five things move your number:
Laconia's table prices all five routes by distance, because none of them is a lane of our own. Boston falls under 300 road miles, Philadelphia between 300 and 600, Chicago between 900 and 1,200, Dallas between 1,500 and 2,000 and Denver just past 2,000, and each band is the middle half of what customers paid for open-carrier trips that long in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026.
These bands assume a sedan on an open trailer. A full-size pickup, a three-row SUV or a car that will not start costs more to bring off the lakes than a sedan, and an enclosed trailer adds about a third. For the number on your own Laconia move, use the quote calculator or call (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
Winnipesaukee fills the north edge, and its camp roads meet the truck in town.
Nine days each June fill every road, and the hand-offs move to the interstate.
The boardwalk and the arcade sit on the water, and the summer traffic on Route 3 sets the hand-off hour.
I-93 is fifteen minutes west at Tilton, and the window carries that honestly.
Please note: The Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Dallas and Denver figures on this Laconia page come from open-carrier sedan moves of similar length booked with us from September 2025 to August 2026, so they are distance bands, not lanes of our own. The month, diesel prices and the car you ship can each move a lakes quote off these figures, and the number we book is the one a specialist confirms by phone.
