Timing
When to Ship Rhode Island to Maryland
I-95 traffic sets the timing on this route.
New England Winter
Nor'easters on I-95 and I-195 from December through March can push a Rhode Island pickup back a day.
New York Traffic
The Cross Bronx and the George Washington Bridge can add hours. Drivers time their run through the city around rush hour.
Baltimore Traffic
Rush hour through the harbor tunnels and on the Beltway can add hours. Drivers time their run around it.
Beach Summer
Ocean City traffic on US-50 is heavy from June through August. Weekday delivery is easier.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Rhode Island to Maryland?
Here's what affects price on a Rhode Island to Maryland shipment.
Baltimore vs. the Suburbs
Baltimore comes first. Silver Spring and Frederick add 30 to 50 miles.
Tolls
New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland tolls are built into your quote.
City Delivery
Baltimore rowhouse blocks rarely fit a carrier, so the driver may meet you at a lot.
Pickup Location
Providence and Warwick are right on I-95. Newport adds a short run over the bridges.
Open or Enclosed
Enclosed keeps a nicer car protected through the city traffic.
Lead Time
A few days to a week of notice usually works on this lane.
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 Maryland.
Registering in Maryland
New residents have 60 days to title and register with the MVA. Most out-of-state vehicles need a Maryland safety inspection first, and many counties require VEIP emissions testing. Check mva.maryland.gov for current requirements.
Rowhouse Streets
Fells Point, Canton, and Federal Hill have narrow streets and tight parking. Plan to meet on a wider street or at a lot.
Beach Season
Ocean City condo lots are packed in summer. Plan to meet at a lot off Coastal Highway.
Providence Pickups
Providence, the East Side, Cranston, and Pawtucket sit where I-95, I-195, and I-295 meet, so carriers come through every day. Triple-decker blocks and narrow East Side streets rarely fit a carrier, so the driver may meet you on a wider street or at a lot near the highway.

Usually 1 to 2 days after pickup.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Rhode Island to Maryland?
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 Johns Hopkins or UMD?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus and avoid move-in weekend when possible.
Can you pick up in Westerly or Narragansett?
Yes. The driver will usually meet you at a lot near US-1 in summer.
Should I ship or drive from Rhode Island to Maryland?
Driving takes most of a day through New York traffic. Shipping makes sense if you're flying or moving more than one car.
Can you ship a car from Maryland back to Rhode Island?
Yes. Request a quote with your Maryland pickup address and your Rhode Island 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.
