Kansas to Connecticut Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Kansas to Connecticut
Overland Park to Hartford is about 1,300 miles, east through St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Columbus, then across Pennsylvania. Stamford and New Haven are a little closer. From Wichita, add about 200 miles. It's three to four days of driving.
Wichita and Connecticut are both aerospace states. Jet engines and helicopters are built around Hartford and Stratford, and Wichita engineers and machinists move to those plants. We also ship for students at Yale, UConn, and Wesleyan, families relocating for finance jobs in Fairfield County, and Connecticut transplants moving to Johnson County.
Door-to-door, a final-price quote, and $0 due at booking.

The Route
How Cars Get From Kansas to Connecticut
Carriers take I-70 east through St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Columbus, then cut up to I-80 across Pennsylvania and take I-84 through Scranton and Danbury into Hartford.
New Haven and Fairfield County are reached on I-95. The Merritt Parkway doesn't allow trucks, so the driver stays on I-95.

Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Kansas to Connecticut?
Here's what moves the price between Kansas and Connecticut.
Distance
Connecticut is about 1,250 to 1,500 miles from Kansas.
Tolls
Toll roads in the Northeast are part of the trip and already in your quote.
Delivery Area
Suburbs are easy. Older New Haven and Hartford streets may need a meeting spot.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps winter salt off a nicer car.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window lets us catch a truck already heading east.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Connecticut-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Connecticut
New residents have 60 days to register with the CT DMV. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN verification, and most cars need an emissions test every two years. Check portal.ct.gov/dmv for current requirements. Snowbirds who stay Connecticut residents just keep their Connecticut registration.
Aerospace Transfers
Moving from a Wichita plant to an engine or helicopter maker in Connecticut? Give us your start date and we'll plan pickup around it.
College Moves
Sending a car to Yale, UConn, or Wesleyan? Give us the move-in date and we'll plan around it.
Kansas Pickups
HOA truck rules in Overland Park, Olathe, and Leawood subdivisions, game-day traffic in Lawrence and Manhattan, tight older streets in Wichita's College Hill and Riverside, and long gravel section roads out west can keep a big carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-35, I-70, I-135, I-435, or the Kansas Turnpike.

Does Connecticut require an emissions test?

Can you ship a car to a Yale or UConn student?
Yes. Give us the campus address and move-in date, and we'll plan around it.
Is it cheaper to ship or drive from Kansas to Connecticut?
Driving 1,300 miles means three days, hotel nights, gas, and tolls. For most people, shipping costs about the same.
Can you ship a car from Connecticut back to Kansas?
Yes. Request a quote with your Connecticut pickup address and your Kansas 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.
