Door-to-door Newport car shipping at the end of the island, with naval station gate-side lots, the colonial streets told straight, and real bands.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Newport, the city at the end of the island, where the bridge comes over from Jamestown with its tolls, the colonial streets of the Point and the Hill were laid for carts and hold the shops and the restaurants now, the mansions line Bellevue Avenue above the Cliff Walk, the naval station fills the north end of the harbor behind its gates with the war college and the officer schools, the sailboats fill the harbor from May to October, and the festivals fill the fort and the island for two weekends every summer. Your car rides with a licensed, insured carrier we vet before it is assigned.
Newport sits at the end of an island forty minutes from I-95, and its car shipping runs on the Providence-hub window with the island told straight: the carriers come over the bridge or down Route 24 to reach the town, and it loads in 1-3 days at the longer end. The lots along West Main Road in Middletown at the shopping, on Connell Highway at the bridge ramps, or on Coddington Highway near the base gate take a 75-foot rig where the pavement is wide; a 75-foot rig does not enter the colonial streets or the base. Navy families on orders to the station, students at the officer schools for a year, summer households who bring a car for the season, collectors who want enclosed for a Bellevue Avenue garage, and retirees who stayed are the shipments we see most. The newer grids in the north end take the truck to the door; a Point or Hill address meets it on Connell Highway, a Navy family meets it at a lot outside the gate on Coddington, agreed at booking, and the festival weekends and the summer bridge traffic set the hand-off hour.

Carriers do not enter the base, so a Navy family on orders meets the truck at a lot outside the gate on Coddington Highway, fixed when you book, timed to the report date, with a second car on the same order when the family has two.
A loaded rig does not enter the Point or the Hill, so those addresses get a meeting point on Connell Highway or in Middletown fixed when you book, five minutes from the door.
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.
Newport prices at the end of the island, forty minutes from I-95. Five things move your number:
The first question on a Newport call is the price. The bands below are standard-sedan open-transport lanes into and out of Rhode Island and 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, an island pickup can sit toward the top of a band, and a pickup, a heavy EV, 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.
It comes over from Jamestown with its tolls, and every carrier that reaches the island crosses it or comes down Route 24.
The war college and the officer schools fill the north end of the harbor, and their cars meet the truck on Coddington.
The colonial streets were laid for carts, and the truck meets them on Connell Highway.
Two weekends every summer fill the fort and the island, and the hand-offs move to Middletown.
Please note: Estimates on this page are middle-of-the-market bands for standard sedans on open carriers from Rhode Island and southern New England lanes booked since 2023. Season, fuel, route, and vehicle change the real number, and your calculator quote is the accurate figure.
