Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Ohio to Connecticut
Mountain snow and Northeast traffic set the timing.
Ohio Winter
Snow and ice around Columbus and lake-effect bands east of Cleveland can push a pickup back a day.
Pennsylvania Mountains
Snow on I-80 and the Turnpike through the Alleghenies can slow trucks a day in winter.
I-95 Traffic
Rush hour along the Connecticut shoreline can add hours. Drivers time deliveries around it.
Fall
Usually the smoothest window.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Connecticut.
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.
Fairfield County Streets
Older neighborhoods in Stamford, Greenwich, and Norwalk have tight streets. Plan to meet at a lot nearby.
Connecticut Emissions
Connecticut requires emissions testing on most cars every two years.
Cleveland and Akron Pickups
Cleveland, Akron, and the suburbs from Westlake to Solon are reached on I-71, I-77, I-80, and I-90. Lake-effect snow east of the city and tight older streets often mean meeting at a lot near the interstate.

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 a student at Yale or UConn?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus and avoid move-in weekend when possible.
Can you pick up in Westlake or Solon?
Yes. If your street is tight, the driver will meet you at the entrance or a lot near the interstate.
Should I ship or drive from Ohio to Connecticut?
Driving takes a long day. Shipping makes sense if you're flying or moving more than one car.
Can you ship a car from Connecticut back to Ohio?
Yes. Request a quote with your Connecticut pickup address and your Ohio 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.
