Connecticut to Oregon Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Connecticut to Oregon
Hartford to Portland is about 3,040 miles, one of the longest routes we run. Trucks cross the whole country on I-80 and finish up the Columbia River Gorge on I-84. Bend is a little closer. It's a full week of driving.
We ship for Connecticut residents trading the Northeast for the Pacific Northwest: tech workers heading to Portland and the Silicon Forest, outdoor lovers moving to Bend, Yale and UConn grads starting careers out West, and students at the University of Oregon and Oregon State. Oregon's lack of a sales tax is a nice bonus.

The Route
How Cars Get From Connecticut to Oregon
Carriers take I-84 to Pennsylvania and I-80 across the Midwest, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Utah. In northern Utah they pick up I-84 again, which runs through Boise, over the Blue Mountains, and down the Columbia River Gorge into Portland. The Willamette Valley is south on I-5.
Bend and Central Oregon are reached from Boise on US-20 or from the Gorge on US-97. Coast towns take extra planning.

Timing
When to Ship Connecticut to Oregon
Coast-to-coast moves deal with every kind of weather.
Winter
Nor'easters at pickup, wind and snow on Wyoming's I-80, and snow on the Blue Mountains can slow trucks from November through March.
Wildfire Season
Late summer fires and smoke can close roads in Central and Eastern Oregon. Drivers reroute when needed.
Summer Moving Season
Summer is the busiest time for Portland and Bend relocations. Book a couple of weeks ahead.
Spring & Fall
Usually the easiest time to ship across the country.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Connecticut to Oregon?
Here's what moves the price on this coast-to-coast route.
Distance
At roughly 3,000 miles, this is one of the longest routes we run.
Delivery Area
Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Bend are easy. The coast and rural Eastern Oregon take more planning.
Season
Winter can add time. Summer and early fall are usually the best value.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed protects a nicer car coast to coast.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window gives us more options on a long route.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
We don't quote low and raise it later. Your quote is your final price, and $0 is due at booking.
Get My Connecticut to Oregon QuoteGood to Know
Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Oregon-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Oregon
New residents have 30 days to title and register with Oregon DMV. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN inspection, and cars in the Portland and Medford areas need a DEQ emissions test. Check oregon.gov/odot/dmv for current requirements.
No Sales Tax
Oregon has no sales tax, but there's a small privilege tax on some newer vehicles bought out of state. Check with DMV if your car is recent.
Plan for a Gap
With 7 to 10 days in transit, you'll probably arrive first. Budget for a rental or rideshare for the first week.
Connecticut Pickups
Narrow streets in older parts of Hartford and New Haven, shoreline beach roads, and condo or HOA rules in Fairfield County can keep a carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-95, I-84, or I-91.

Can you deliver to Bend or Central Oregon?

Do I need a DEQ test in Oregon?
Only in the Portland and Medford areas. Out-of-state vehicles also need a VIN inspection when you title them.

Driving 3,000 miles means about a week, six hotel nights, gas, food, and tolls. For most people, shipping costs less.
Can you ship a car from Oregon back to Connecticut?
Yes. Request a quote with your Oregon pickup address and your Connecticut delivery address. It's door-to-door either way.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with is required to carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is documented on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the vehicle aren't covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the rest to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
