New York City Car Shipping Like Five Cities Wearing One Name

Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport across all five boroughs of New York City, where the bridges, the Cross Bronx and the other expressways carry the trucks while the parkways shut them out, a Staten Island driveway takes a hauler the way a suburb does, a Brooklyn or Queens block calls for a wide corridor nearby, Manhattan calls for a plan, and each autumn a stream of cars heads to Florida and returns in the spring. The truck we send belongs to a licensed, insured carrier that passed our vetting before it was given the job.

A 75-foot hauler cannot work a narrow Manhattan side street, stop in a bus lane or pass under a parkway bridge, so the meeting point is fixed when you book: a wide crosstown street, a lot near the West Side piers, a broad avenue in the outer boroughs, or a spot just across the Hudson in New Jersey, whichever fits your schedule. Staten Island and the outer-borough house streets usually take the truck to the door, and the pickup is timed so a street-parked car is not caught on the wrong side of an alternate-side cleaning day. We arrange Florida trips for the winter, moves to new jobs around the country, and cars sent to a parent who retired south.

Speak with a coordinator now at (866) 821-4555 for pickup at any address in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, or Staten Island, or request an estimate by email through the quote calculator.

Leaving the five boroughs for somewhere else in the state is its own kind of move, and our New York car shipping guide walks through those routes, seasons and prices.

Why New York Movers Choose Ship A Car

Meeting Points That Work

Carriers reach the city on the bridges and expressways, so we set each meeting point on a street a hauler can legally use and safely stop on, away from bus lanes and parkway overpasses.

Alternate-Side Timing

We time the pickup so a street-parked car is not trapped on the wrong side of a cleaning day or boxed into a snow-emergency route.

Estimate by Email, Confirmed by Phone

Our quote calculator emails an estimate built from the borough, the destination, the vehicle and your dates, and a specialist calls to confirm the price. One coordinator stays with the order from the first call to the inspection at the meeting point.

What Sets Your New York City Car Shipping Price

Individual, Business and Specialty Transport Services in the city of New York City

New York City ships cars five different ways, from a Staten Island driveway to a Manhattan side street too narrow for a hauler, with the bridges and expressways carrying the trucks. In every borough, five things set the price:

1. The Lane

2. Where the Car Loads

3. Vehicle Size, Weight, and Condition

4. Season

5. Open or Enclosed

The Norfolk, Atlanta and Houston rows for New York City are distance bands, the range customers paid for runs of a similar distance in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026, in either direction. Miami and Los Angeles count only cars coming into the city: they are the middle half of our own open-carrier orders from Florida to New York and from California to New York since 2023.

The ranges above price a running sedan on an open trailer, whichever borough it leaves or returns to. SUVs, pickups and cars that will not start cost more, and an enclosed trailer for a garaged collector car adds about a third. For your own New York City route, use the quote calculator or call (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.

Living in New York City: What Movers Should Know

Five Cities

A Staten Island driveway, a Queens block, and a Manhattan avenue each ship a car a different way.

Carless by Choice

Most Manhattan households skip the car, which is why the ones that own one usually move it properly.

Alternate Side

Street parking runs on the cleaning-day calendar, and shipping a car means beating it.

The Florida Fleet

Every autumn a fleet of New York cars heads south, and every spring it returns.

Please note: New York City’s Norfolk, Atlanta and Houston figures are distance bands from what customers paid between September 2025 and August 2026, and its Miami and Los Angeles figures are the middle half of our own open-carrier orders from Florida to New York and from California to New York since 2023, for cars arriving only. Borough, month and fuel can still move the price, and the specialist who calls after your emailed estimate confirms the one we book.
