Door-to-door Wells car shipping on the Route 1 antiques strip, with dealer pickups, enclosed antiques, and beach roads met on Route 1 from June to Labor Day.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Wells, the beach town with its own turnpike exit where Route 1 runs one of New England’s storied antiques strips, Mile Road runs from the highway to the sand, Wells Beach, Crescent Beach, and Drakes Island run one long strand, the estuarine reserve’s boardwalks meet the beach at the old farm, and the wildlife refuge keeps its headquarters in town. From the antiques strip to the beach roads, the car goes with a licensed, insured carrier, and we vet that carrier before it is handed the job.
The town works two ways, and the plan depends on which side of it you are on. Year-round homes off Route 1 load much like any turnpike town: the exit sits a minute from the highway, carriers headed up from Boston can stop without a detour, and the lots by the exit take a 75-foot rig straight off the ramp. The beach is different, because the narrow roads off Mile Road are parked solid from June to Labor Day, so a beach address meets the truck on Route 1 in season at a spot fixed when you book. We also ship cars that Route 1 dealers sell to buyers in other states, and an antique found on the strip can ride enclosed to its new owner.
Speak with a coordinator now at (866) 821-4555 for pickup at any address in Wells, Ogunquit, Moody, or Sanford, or request an estimate by email through the quote calculator.
Past the beaches and the antiques strip, the rest of Maine is covered in our Maine car shipping guide, with statewide routes, seasons and pricing.
A car bought from a dealer on the strip hands to the carrier with the paperwork we send, and the buyer meets the truck at the far end with an ID.
The year-round town loads at the door and the beach roads meet on Route 1 in season; we tell you which on the first call.
Enter the route, the vehicle and your dates in the quote calculator and an estimate comes by email, whether the car leaves a Route 1 dealer lot or your own garage, before a specialist confirms the price. A single coordinator stays on it until the car is checked in at the far end.
Carriers headed up from Boston leave the turnpike at the Wells exit, a minute from the Route 1 antiques strip, while Mile Road runs from the highway to the beach. Five things move your number:
Wells has its own turnpike exit a minute from Route 1, so year-round homes load at the door, and from June to Labor Day the beach roads off Mile Road meet the truck on Route 1 instead. Every row on this table is a distance band, so the Norfolk, Cleveland, Tampa, San Antonio and Las Vegas ranges show what customers paid for moves of similar length in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026.
Treat these as planning ranges for a sedan on an open trailer: a pickup, a large SUV or a car that will not run costs more, and enclosed adds about a third. A Wells address, beach road or dealer lot gets an emailed estimate from the quote calculator or a price from a coordinator at (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
Wells Beach, Crescent Beach, and Drakes Island run as one.
The saltmarsh boardwalks meet the beach at Laudholm Farm.
The Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge keeps its headquarters in town.
Route 1 through Wells is one of New England’s storied antiques strips.
Please note: All five Wells figures, Norfolk, Cleveland, Tampa, San Antonio and Las Vegas, are distance bands built from what our customers paid for trips of about the same length from September 2025 to August 2026. Beach season, fuel and the vehicle can move a real price, which is why a specialist confirms the booked figure after the calculator’s estimate.
