Vermont Auto Transport Company
2J's Auto Transport is the top-rated car shipping company in Vermont, offering the fastest and easiest way to ship your vehicle to or from Vermont.
Welcome to 2 J’s Auto Transport, one of the leading auto transport companies serving Vermont. Whether you’re relocating to Burlington, shipping a vehicle from Montpelier, or moving a car to or from the ski country around Stowe or Killington, we provide reliable, affordable, and fully insured auto transportation across Vermont and nationwide.
Vermont is the second least populated state in the U.S., and that rural character shapes auto transport logistics here. The state has only two major interstates: I-89 connects Burlington to the New Hampshire border (and onward to Concord NH and Boston), and I-91 runs north-south along the eastern border following the Connecticut River from Brattleboro to the Canadian border. US-7 parallels the western side of the Green Mountains and serves Bennington, Manchester, Middlebury, and Burlington.
Carrier traffic in Vermont is lighter than in most New England states, but I-89 and I-91 both carry enough freight volume to maintain reasonable availability especially for Burlington and the I-91 corridor towns.
We specialize in open carrier shipping, enclosed auto transport, classic and luxury car shipping, motorcycle transport, heavy haul, and RV/fifth wheel transport. As a federally licensed auto transport broker (MC# 799000, USDOT# 02349019), we dispatch from a vetted network of FMCSA-compliant carriers, matching your shipment with the right truck, on the right route, at the right time.
If you’re shipping your car for the first time to or from Vermont, here’s a complete guide on how to transport a car to walk you through the process.
Shipping From Vermont - What You Should Know
Road Network & Carrier Routes
Vermont’s auto transport network runs on two interstates: I-89 (Burlington to White River Junction, continuing into NH) and I-91 (Brattleboro to Derby Line on the Canadian border). These two routes intersect at White River Junction, making it the state’s most important auto transport junction. US-7 along the western side provides secondary carrier access to Bennington, Manchester, and Middlebury.
Carrier availability is strongest along the I-89 corridor (Burlington area) and the I-91 corridor (Brattleboro, White River Junction, St. Johnsbury). The Green Mountains divide the state east-west, and crossing them on VT-4 (Killington), VT-100, or US-2 adds time and complexity for carriers. Towns away from the interstate corridors may need 48-72 hours extra lead time, with carriers requesting a meeting point on the nearest interstate.
Common Pickup & Delivery Areas
Burlington / Chittenden County (including South Burlington, Essex, Colchester, Winooski, Williston) Vermont’s largest metro and primary auto transport hub. Best carrier access in the state via I-89. UVM (University of Vermont) drives seasonal demand.
Montpelier / Barre State capital area on I-89. Moderate carrier access. Small city carriers generally have straightforward pickup logistics.
White River Junction / Upper Valley (including Lebanon NH, Hanover NH/Dartmouth) Critical I-89/I-91 intersection. Good carrier access. Dartmouth College adds seasonal demand.
Brattleboro / Southern Vermont I-91 access, closest VT area to the MA/CT corridors. Solid carrier availability for northeast routes.
Rutland / Killington area Central Vermont, accessible via US-7 and US-4. Ski season drives demand. Not directly on an interstate allow 24-48 hours extra vs Burlington.
Stowe / Waterbury / Morrisville Northeast of Burlington on VT-100. Ski resort area. Carriers typically access via I-89 through Waterbury, then VT-100 north. Seasonal ski demand October-April.
Northeast Kingdom (St. Johnsbury, Newport, Lyndon) Vermont’s most rural region. I-91 access at St. Johnsbury. Very limited carrier traffic north of St. Johnsbury. Allow 72+ hours extra lead time for deep NEK pickups.
Typical Shipping Costs From Vermont
Vermont’s rural character means slightly higher per-mile costs than neighboring states due to lighter carrier traffic. Typical ranges for open transport of a standard sedan:
- Vermont → Massachusetts (Boston): $400–$600
- Vermont → New York (NYC): $500–$700
- Vermont → Connecticut: $400–$600
- Vermont → New Hampshire (Manchester/Concord): $300–$450
- Vermont → Pennsylvania (Philadelphia): $550–$750
- Vermont → New Jersey: $500–$700
- Vermont → Florida (Miami/Orlando): $850–$1,150
- Vermont → Ohio (Cleveland/Columbus): $650–$850
- Vermont → Illinois (Chicago): $800–$1,050
- Vermont → California (Los Angeles): $1,200–$1,550
- Vermont → Texas (Dallas/Houston): $950–$1,250
Enclosed transport runs 30–40% higher. Pricing varies by season ski season and fall foliage can affect demand.
Vermont-Specific Transport Considerations
Vermont’s rural character, mountain geography, and distinct seasonal economy create unique transport dynamics:
Winter weather (November–April) is the biggest factor. Vermont averages 60-90 inches of snow per year, and mountain areas (Stowe, Killington, Jay Peak) get significantly more. I-89 and I-91 are well-maintained but can be temporarily closed during nor’easters or heavy snowfall. Secondary roads (VT-100, VT-4, US-2) can become impassable during major storms. Road salt usage is heavy, making enclosed transport recommended for classic, luxury, or collector vehicles during winter months. Build in 2-3 extra days of flexibility for winter shipments.
Ski season (December–April) creates a distinct auto transport demand pattern. Seasonal residents, vacation homeowners, and ski resort workers ship vehicles to Vermont in late fall and back out in spring. Stowe, Killington, Sugarbush, and Jay Peak are the primary demand generators. Book 2-3 weeks ahead for fall/spring seasonal moves.
Fall foliage season (mid-September to mid-October) brings heavy tourist traffic to Vermont, particularly on US-7, VT-100, and I-89. This doesn’t directly delay carriers on interstates but can create congestion on secondary roads. If your pickup is in a popular foliage area during peak weekends, coordinate mid-week timing.
Vermont is one of the most rural states for auto transport. The entire state population is ~650,000 smaller than most individual U.S. cities. This means carrier traffic is inherently lighter than neighboring NH, MA, or CT. For pickups away from I-89 or I-91, expect longer lead times and potentially a meeting point on the nearest interstate. We’re transparent about this because managing expectations leads to a better experience.
Spring mud season (March–May) Vermont’s infamous “fifth season” when frost comes out of the ground and unpaved roads become soft or temporarily impassable. Many rural Vermont roads are unpaved, and carriers may be unable to access properties on dirt roads during this period. We coordinate meeting points on paved state highways during mud season.
Vermont vehicle regulations: Annual safety inspection required. No emissions testing required (Vermont has no emissions program). New residents have 60 days to register. Vermont charges 6% purchase and use tax on vehicles. Vermont allows titling vehicles without the owner present (popular for out-of-state title work, which generates some auto transport demand).

Broker vs Carrier Explained
2 J’s Auto Transport is a federally licensed auto transport broker (MC# 799000). That means we don’t own the trucks or employ the drivers instead, we dispatch from a vetted network of independent carriers across the U.S. In a rural state like Vermont, broker flexibility is essential: we can match your vehicle with a carrier already running I-89 between Burlington and Boston, find one on I-91 heading south to Connecticut, source an enclosed carrier to protect against Vermont’s heavy road salt, or coordinate a meeting point on a paved highway when mud season makes your dirt road inaccessible. The result is better coverage and pricing than any single carrier could offer in a state with inherently limited freight traffic.

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.
