Transport FROM(Required)

Transport TO(Required)

2 J’s Auto Transport is a federally licensed auto transport broker with 13+ years of experience coordinating vehicle shipments across all 50 states, including every city and town in Rhode Island.

As the smallest state in the country, Rhode Island is one of the most convenient states to ship a vehicle to or from. I-95 runs the length of the state through Providence, connecting directly to Connecticut and Massachusetts. I-195 branches off toward Fall River and Cape Cod, and I-295 forms a beltway around Providence for local routing. Because nearly every part of Rhode Island sits within an hour of the I-95 corridor, carrier access is strong statewide, with only Newport and the South County coast requiring slightly more lead time due to bridge crossings and seasonal tourist traffic.

We’re a federally licensed auto transport broker (MC# 799000, USDOT# 02349019), bonded by the FMCSA and operating under USDOT regulations. Every carrier we dispatch in Rhode Island carries active cargo insurance, which we verify before each job. We serve Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket, Newport, Woonsocket, and every Rhode Island community.

For your trust, we are a 5-star auto transport company with a team of professionals. We believe in providing our customers with the best and most affordable auto transportation at the proper time. You won’t find any time issues with our services. We are one of the cheapest vehicle shipping companies in the U.S., with top-notch services.

If you’re shipping your car for the first time in Rhode Island, here’s a complete guide on how to transport a car.

Shipping To and From Rhode Island: What You Should Know

Road Network and Carrier Routes

I-95 (primary corridor): Runs the full length of Rhode Island through Providence, connecting south to Connecticut and north to Massachusetts. The backbone of nearly every RI shipment and one of the busiest freight corridors in the Northeast. Strong carrier density statewide.

I-195 (Providence to Fall River/Cape Cod): Branches east from I-95 in Providence toward Fall River, MA and onward to Cape Cod. Used for shipments connecting Rhode Island to southeastern Massachusetts.

I-295 (Providence beltway): Circles Providence, used for local routing and avoiding downtown congestion. Good carrier access along its full loop.

Route 4 / Route 1 (South County): Connects Providence to Narragansett, South Kingstown, and Westerly along the southern coast. Carrier access is solid but somewhat lighter than the I-95 corridor.

Route 138 (Newport corridor): Crosses the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge from Jamestown to Newport. The bridge and Newport’s historic street layout can require carriers to use a nearby meeting point rather than direct doorstep pickup.

Pickup and Delivery by Area

Providence Rhode Island’s capital and largest city, sitting directly on I-95. Home to Brown University and RISD, generating steady seasonal student vehicle-shipping demand. Strongest carrier availability in the state.

Warwick / Cranston Providence’s largest suburbs, both with direct I-95/I-295 access. Warwick is also home to T.F. Green Airport. Strong, consistent carrier availability.

Pawtucket / Central Falls Just north of Providence on I-95, dense urban area with good carrier access.

East Providence Across the Seekonk River from Providence, connected via I-195. Solid carrier access.

Woonsocket Northern Rhode Island, near the Massachusetts border. Slightly outside the core I-95 corridor; moderate carrier access.

Newport Coastal city on Aquidneck Island, home to Naval Station Newport and the Naval War College, plus a major tourism season centered on the historic mansions and sailing industry. Reached via the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge. Historic downtown streets are narrow, so carriers often use a nearby commercial lot for pickup and delivery. Salt air is a genuine consideration for owners of classic or high-value vehicles, enclosed transport is worth considering for longer-term coastal storage moves.

Narragansett / South Kingstown (University of Rhode Island) South County coastal communities on Route 1/Route 4. Home to URI, with seasonal student demand around move-in and finals. Moderate carrier access, book a little ahead during the school-year transitions.

Westerly Rhode Island’s southwestern corner, on the Connecticut border. Good I-95 access despite being the farthest point from Providence.

Rhode Island Vehicle Registration and Requirements

Registration deadline: New residents must register their vehicle and obtain a Rhode Island title within 30 days of establishing residency
Registration cycle: Every two years
Vehicle inspection: Required within 5 days of registration
VIN check: Required for out-of-state titled vehicles model year 2001 or newer, completed through your local police department before the DMV can process the title
Insurance: Rhode Island-compliant auto insurance is required before registration can be completed

For full details: Rhode Island DMV

 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 !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joyce and John are such a pleasure to work with. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company is very professional and had great communication. I was a little nervous about transporting my vehicle for the first time but they stood behind everything they said they would and followed through from beginning to end. They were very fairly priced amongst competitors, readily available anytime I called or had questions and they were extremely helpful. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Much thanks to 2Js!

What our other platform clients are saying about us

Devon B

I recently used 2 J’s Auto Transport to transport my car across the country, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! From the very beginning, the team was professional and responsive, answering all my questions and providing a detailed quote with no hidden fees. The pickup was smooth, and they kept me updated throughout the entire process. My car arrived in perfect condition and even ahead of schedule! The driver was friendly and handled everything with care. I highly recommend Joyce and John for anyone looking for reliable and efficient auto transport services. They truly exceeded my expectations!

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.
