Door-to-door Salem, Massachusetts car shipping planned around October, with Highland Avenue and Route 114 hand-offs for the McIntire district and the Point.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Salem, the Essex County city on the North Shore where Route 114 arrives from Peabody and Route 128, Route 107 and Route 1A cross the middle, the museum and the witch trial memorial draw visitors downtown, the state university sits on the south side, the harbor holds the power plant and the ferry to Boston, and the McIntire district keeps the Federal-era houses of the sea captains. The carrier assigned to your car is licensed and insured, and it passes our vetting before it gets the job.
October is the one month that changes the plan. Haunted Happenings brings about a million visitors and closes downtown streets, so an October pickup meets the truck at a Route 114 lot in Peabody, or the move shifts to late September or early November. The rest of the year, Route 128 is about ten minutes west, and the lots on Highland Avenue and along Route 114 in Peabody give a 75-foot rig room to stop. South Salem and the streets off Highland Avenue have driveways that take the truck, while the McIntire district, the Point and the downtown grid are tighter and meet it on Highland Avenue or Route 114, as agreed at booking. We move cars for university semesters, hospital transfers and families heading to Florida for the winter.

Beyond Essex County, our Massachusetts car shipping guide lays out the routes, seasonal patterns and pricing for the whole state.
We tell you on the first call that an October Salem pickup meets the truck in Peabody, or books for September or November.
Outside October, the Route 114 exit off Route 128 is about ten minutes from downtown, so a car here books on the same kind of pickup window as one in Boston.
Give the quote calculator your route, car and dates and it emails an estimate, October hand-off in Peabody included, before a specialist calls to confirm the number. One coordinator handles the order from that first quote through the inspection at delivery.
Downtown Salem is about ten minutes from Route 128 by way of Route 114, and the colonial streets meet the truck on Highland Avenue. Five things decide the price:
Salem ships from the Route 128 side of the North Shore, with Highland Avenue and Route 114 lots for the colonial streets and a Peabody hand-off in October. Jacksonville is the middle half of our own Florida to Massachusetts open-carrier orders since 2023, Tampa of our Massachusetts to Florida open-carrier orders and San Diego of our California to Massachusetts open-carrier orders, so those rows each run one way. Norfolk and Austin show what customers paid for moves of similar length in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026.
These planning ranges cover a sedan on an open trailer, and a larger SUV, a pickup or a car that does not run costs more, with enclosed transport about a third above. Price your own Salem move, October or not, in the quote calculator or with a coordinator at (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
A million visitors close the downtown streets every October.
The trial sites and the memorial sit a block from the museum.
The sea captains’ streets are as narrow as the day they were laid out.
The commuter boat leaves the harbor for Long Wharf in under an hour.
Please note: Three Salem rows are one-way lanes from our own open-carrier orders since 2023: Jacksonville into Massachusetts from Florida, Tampa out of Massachusetts to Florida and San Diego into Massachusetts from California. Norfolk and Austin are distance bands, what customers paid for trips of similar length from September 2025 to August 2026, and the price is final once a specialist confirms it by phone.
