Transport FROM(Required)

Transport TO(Required)

Welcome to 2 J’s Auto Transport, a federally licensed auto transport broker serving Massachusetts. Whether you’re relocating to Boston, shipping a vehicle from Worcester, moving a car to Cape Cod, or coordinating a student vehicle shipment to or from one of the state’s 60+ colleges and universities, we provide reliable, affordable auto transportation across Massachusetts and nationwide dispatching from a vetted carrier network where every carrier carries active cargo insurance, verified before each job.

Massachusetts sits at the heart of New England’s highway network, with the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) running east-west from Boston to the New York border, I-93 running north-south through Boston (one of the most congested corridors in the Northeast), I-95/Route 128 forming the inner suburban beltway, and I-495 forming the outer beltway. I-91 serves the Connecticut River valley through Springfield and Northampton. This highway density, combined with Boston’s position on the I-95 Northeast Corridor, means strong carrier availability and competitive pricing for most Massachusetts routes.

As a federally licensed auto transport broker (MC# 799000, USDOT# 02349019), we dispatch from a vetted network of FMCSA-compliant carriers across the U.S.

Shipping your car for the first time to or from Massachusetts? Here’s a complete guide on how to transport a car.

Shipping From Massachusetts - What You Should Know

Road Network & Carrier Routes

Massachusetts auto transport revolves around the Boston metro and its highway spokes. The Mass Turnpike (I-90) is the primary east-west toll road. I-93 runs through the Big Dig tunnels in downtown Boston and is notoriously congested. I-95/Route 128 serves as the primary suburban beltway. I-495 forms a wider arc through the outer suburbs. I-91 serves western MA through Springfield to Vermont.

Carrier availability is strongest in the Boston metro and along I-90/I-95. Western Massachusetts (Springfield, Pittsfield, Berkshires) has moderate carrier traffic. Cape Cod requires crossing the Bourne or Sagamore bridges (bottleneck points). The islands (Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket) are NOT accessible by car carrier vehicles must be ferried.

Common Pickup & Delivery Areas

Boston proper (Back Bay, Beacon Hill, South End, North End, Charlestown, South Boston, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain) One of the HARDEST cities in the U.S. for car carriers. Narrow colonial streets, permit parking, one-way systems, and Big Dig tunnel restrictions make full-size hauler access extremely limited. Most Boston pickups require a meeting point in Somerville, Watertown, or along I-93/I-90 interchange areas. Our Brooklyn NY HQ gives us firsthand experience coordinating pickups in dense Northeast cities like Boston.

Cambridge / Somerville / Medford Harvard, MIT, Tufts area. Better carrier access than downtown Boston with wider streets near I-93. Massive student vehicle demand.

Route 128 / Inner suburbs (Newton, Brookline, Wellesley, Lexington, Waltham, Burlington) Excellent I-95/Route 128 access. High-volume corporate relocation area.

I-495 / Outer suburbs (Framingham, Marlborough, Lowell, Lawrence, Haverhill) Strong highway access with wide suburban streets. Carrier-friendly.

Worcester / Central MA Second-largest MA city. I-90 and I-290 access. Good carrier traffic. Multiple colleges (WPI, Clark, Holy Cross, College of the Holy Cross).

Springfield / Western MA I-90 and I-91 junction. Moderate carrier traffic. Western MA is a different market from Boston more affordable, fewer logistics challenges.

Berkshires (Pittsfield, Great Barrington, Lenox, Williamstown) Far western MA near NY border. I-90 access at the western end. Limited carrier traffic. Allow 24-48 hours extra. Williams College adds seasonal demand.

Cape Cod (Hyannis, Provincetown, Falmouth, Chatham, Wellfleet) Accessible ONLY via the Bourne Bridge or Sagamore Bridge on Route 6. These bridges are severe bottlenecks during summer (June-September). Carriers prefer mid-week crossings. Allow 24-48 hours extra vs mainland pickups.

Martha’s Vineyard / Nantucket These islands are NOT accessible by car carrier. Vehicles must be transported to Woods Hole (for Vineyard) or Hyannis (for Nantucket) and then ferried via Steamship Authority. We coordinate the mainland leg; ferry booking is the owner’s responsibility. Allow 3-5 extra days for island logistics.

Typical Shipping Costs From Massachusetts

Massachusetts I-95 position keeps Northeast pricing very competitive. Typical ranges for open transport of a standard sedan:

Massachusetts → Connecticut (Hartford): $250–$400
Massachusetts → New York (NYC): $300–$450
Massachusetts → New Jersey: $350–$500
Massachusetts → Pennsylvania (Philadelphia): $400–$550
Massachusetts → Washington D.C.: $500–$700
Massachusetts → Virginia (Richmond): $500–$700
Massachusetts → Florida (Miami/Orlando): $800–$1,100
Massachusetts → Ohio (Columbus): $600–$800
Massachusetts → Illinois (Chicago): $750–$1,000
Massachusetts → Texas (Dallas/Houston): $950–$1,250
Massachusetts → California (Los Angeles): $1,200–$1,550

Enclosed runs 30-40% higher. Snowbird season (Oct-Apr) spikes MA→FL pricing 15-25%.

Massachusetts-Specific Transport Considerations

60+ colleges and universities make Massachusetts the #1 state for student vehicle shipping demand in the country. Harvard, MIT, BU, BC, Tufts, Northeastern, Brandeis, Wellesley, Amherst, Williams, UMass (5 campuses), WPI, Clark, Holy Cross, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Hampshire, the list goes on. This creates MASSIVE seasonal demand spikes in January (spring), May (summer), and August-September (fall). During move-in/move-out weeks, carrier availability tightens significantly. Book 3-4 weeks ahead during these transitions, especially for Boston-area schools.

Boston carrier access is one of the biggest logistics challenges in the Northeast. The city’s narrow colonial-era streets, aggressive permit parking enforcement, one-way systems, and low-clearance tunnel restrictions (Big Dig) make it nearly impossible for a 75-foot car hauler to operate in most neighborhoods. Downtown, Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the North End, and South Boston are especially difficult. We arrange staging at carrier-friendly locations near I-93 or I-90 interchanges, our experience with dense Northeast cities is a genuine advantage here.

Snowbird corridor (October–April): Massachusetts has one of the largest snowbird populations in the country. The MA→FL route (via I-95) is a top-volume auto transport lane, with pricing spiking 15-25% during peak departure weeks (late October) and return (late April). Cape Cod and the South Shore are primary snowbird departure areas. Book 3-4 weeks ahead.

Nor’easters (December–March) can dump 1-3 feet of snow across the state, temporarily shutting down highways including I-90 and I-93. Winter shipments should include 2-3 extra days of flexibility. Heavy road salt usage makes enclosed transport recommended for classic, luxury, or collector vehicles.

Cape Cod bridge bottleneck: the Bourne and Sagamore bridges are the only vehicle access points to Cape Cod. Summer weekends (especially Fridays and Sundays) create hours-long backups. Carriers serving Cape Cod schedule mid-week crossings to avoid the congestion. For summer Cape Cod shipments, book early and expect mid-week pickup.

MA vehicle regulations: Annual safety inspection AND emissions testing required. New residents must register within 7 days (shortest window in the country). Massachusetts charges 6.25% sales tax on vehicle purchases. MA requires front and rear plates.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joyce was amazing to work with from start to finish . My daughter was moving alone from Las Vegas to Chicago and the dates were constantly fluctuating. Joyce was so patient with me , understanding and empathetic to our needs . She made us feel like family . We used Sherpa years ago , and her customer service and communication was way beyond Sherpas ( and they gave excellent service as well, but Joyce blew them out of the water ) The price was competitive with the other carriers , but it really was her personality and customer service that sealed the deal . I would highly recommend using 2 Js auto transport over any of the more popular auto transporters. I spoke to atleast 5 other carriers before choosing 2js transport ( they were highly recommended by my brother , he used in past to get a car from California to Florida ) and I’m so glad we decided to use them . It was seamless and again the open line of communication was exceptional ! I can’t say enough great things about the whole process other than I would pick them hands down over any other carrier !

There are a lot of scams in this industry and thankfully this is a family owned company where they actually take care of you like you’re part of their own family. I would highly recommend using their services. Vehicle was picked up and delivered when they said it was, and it was delivered in perfect condition.

Mark Edwards

I buy and sell construction equipment all over the US and always go to 2 J’s for long distance transport. They are able to find excellent rates on partial loads within a day or two. The drivers they send are always very professional and helpful. I’ve received quotes from other dispatchers and sometimes drivers offer their services directly, but they can rarely offer compete with 2 J’s pricing or timely service.

Sidharth S

You guys were awesome. Picked up on time, dropped off on time as promised. I was returning customer. I had used their service a year and a half back. They were good at that time and this time too they were fantastic. I was fortunate to have got an enclosed truck for the price of open. Seems they had a truck passing on my dates and they gladly put me there. Thank you, John. Thank you, Joyce. I would highly recommend their services.

Frequently Ask Questions (FAQs)

How much does it cost to ship a car from Massachusetts?

Typical open transport ranges from $250 for regional routes (Boston to Hartford) to $1,550 for cross-country (Boston to LA). Snowbird season (Oct-Apr) on the MA→FL corridor typically adds 15-25%. Get a free quote at 877-325-7288.

Can carriers access downtown Boston for pickup?

Full-size car haulers cannot operate on most downtown Boston streets due to narrow colonial-era roads, permit parking, and Big Dig tunnel restrictions. We arrange staging at carrier-friendly locations near I-93 or I-90 interchanges, usually in Somerville, Watertown, or the I-93 corridor. Suburban locations have much easier access.

Do you handle student vehicle shipping from MA colleges?

Yes. Massachusetts has 60+ colleges and universities, making it the #1 state for student vehicle shipping. We serve Harvard, MIT, BU, BC, Tufts, Northeastern, UMass, and all other campuses. Peak demand is January, May, and August-September — book 3-4 weeks ahead during these transitions.

Can you ship to Cape Cod?

Yes. Cape Cod is accessible via the Bourne or Sagamore bridges. Summer weekends create severe bridge bottlenecks, so carriers schedule mid-week crossings. Allow 24-48 hours extra lead time for Cape Cod pickups during summer.

Can you ship to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket?

We handle the mainland leg to the ferry terminal (Woods Hole for Vineyard, Hyannis for Nantucket). The vehicle then ferries to the island via Steamship Authority, ferry booking is the owner’s responsibility. Allow 3-5 extra days for island logistics. Not all carriers serve the ferry terminals; confirm when booking.

Does winter weather affect MA auto transport?

Yes. Nor’easters can dump 1-3 feet of snow and temporarily close I-90, I-93, and I-95. Winter shipments need 2-3 extra days flexibility. Heavy road salt makes enclosed transport recommended for high-value vehicles.

Is 2 J's Auto Transport a broker or a carrier?

We are a federally licensed auto transport broker (MC# 799000, USDOT# 02349019), headquartered in Brooklyn, NY. We dispatch from a vetted network of independent carriers. We do not own trucks or employ drivers.

Do you offer auto transport service to all U.S. states and cities?

Yes, we provide auto shipping services across all 50 U.S. states and almost every U.S. city. Pricing may vary based on distance, shipping method, season, weather conditions, pickup and delivery locations, fuel costs, and whether the car is operable or not.
