Maryland to New York Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Maryland to New York
Baltimore to New York City is about 195 miles, straight up I-95 and the Turnpike. Garden City on Long Island is around 215, Silver Spring to New York City about 225, Baltimore to Syracuse close to 285, Ithaca roughly 310, Rochester about 335, Albany around 340, and Buffalo near 370. Most cars arrive 1 to 2 days after pickup.
Maryland to New York covers two different trips: the short, traffic-heavy run into the city and Long Island, and the straight shot up I-81 to upstate. We ship for people moving to Manhattan and Brooklyn for work, students at Cornell, Syracuse, and the SUNY schools, and families moving closer to relatives. City deliveries and upstate winters take the most planning.

The Route
How Cars Get From Maryland to New York
New York City and Long Island loads run up I-95 and the NJ Turnpike to the Hudson crossings. Drivers time the last stretch around rush hour whenever they can.
Upstate loads go a different way: I-83 to Harrisburg, then I-81 north through Scranton and Binghamton to Syracuse, or US-15 and I-390 to Rochester and Buffalo. Ithaca is off I-81 near Binghamton, and Albany is reached across I-88 or up the Thruway from the city.

Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Maryland to New York
City traffic and upstate winters set the timing.
Beltway Traffic
The Beltway, I-95, and I-695 back up badly at rush hour. Drivers schedule Maryland pickups around it.
City Traffic
The tunnels, bridges, and expressways back up badly. Drivers time NYC and Long Island deliveries around rush hour.
Upstate Winter
From December through March, lake-effect snow near Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo can slow a truck a day.
Fall
Usually the smoothest window, aside from foliage weekends.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Maryland to New York?
Here's what affects price on a Maryland to New York shipment.
City vs. Upstate
NYC is closest. Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo add 90 to 175 miles.
City Delivery
Manhattan and Brooklyn deliveries usually mean meeting at a garage or wide avenue.
Tolls
Delaware, Turnpike, bridge, and tunnel tolls are built into your quote.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and SUVs take more trailer space than a sedan.
Open or Enclosed
Enclosed is popular for luxury cars heading into the city.
Short-Haul Pricing
Shorter trips run higher per mile, since loading takes the same time.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
Your quote is your final price, good for 7 days, with nothing due until a carrier is assigned.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to New York.
Registering in New York
New residents have 30 days to register with the NY DMV. New York requires an annual safety inspection, and most vehicles also need an emissions check. Check dmv.ny.gov for current requirements.
Manhattan and Brooklyn
Carriers can't stop on most city blocks. Plan to meet at your parking garage, a wide avenue, or a lot near a highway exit.
New York Inspection
After you register, you'll need a New York safety inspection, plus emissions for most vehicles.
Baltimore and Central Maryland Pickups
Rowhouse blocks in Federal Hill, Canton, Fells Point, and Hampden are too narrow for a full-size car hauler, and parking is tight. Towson, Columbia, Ellicott City, and the Harford County suburbs are usually easier, though some HOAs restrict big trucks. If your street won't work, the driver will meet you at a nearby lot off I-695, I-95, or I-83.

It depends on your exact addresses, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. Request a quote for a final price, good for 7 days.
Can you deliver to an apartment in Manhattan?
Usually to your parking garage or a nearby avenue, since carriers can't stop on most city streets.
Can you deliver to a student at Cornell or Syracuse?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus, and in winter we'll pick one that's plowed.
Should I ship or drive from Maryland to New York?
The drive is short, but city traffic and parking make shipping worth it for a lot of people, especially with two cars.
Can you ship a car from New York back to Maryland?
Yes. Request a quote with your New York pickup address and your Maryland delivery address. Every shipment is door-to-door.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with must carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is recorded on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the car 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 balance to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
