Vermont to Massachusetts Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Vermont to Massachusetts
Burlington to Boston is about 215 miles, across New Hampshire on I-89 and I-93. Pittsfield is around 175, Northampton about 190, Springfield close to 210, Worcester roughly 235, and Hyannis around 290. Most cars arrive the day after pickup.
Vermont to Massachusetts is one of our busiest short lanes: job relocations to Boston, students at the dozens of Boston-area and Pioneer Valley colleges, and second-home owners moving a car between a Massachusetts house and a Vermont ski place. Carriers run it often, so a few days of notice usually works.

Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Vermont to Massachusetts
Snow and Boston traffic set the timing.
Vermont Winter
From December through March, snow on I-89 and the Green Mountain passes can push a Burlington or ski-town pickup back a day.
Foliage Season
Late September through mid-October fills Vermont's roads with leaf-peepers. Weekday pickups are easier.
Boston Traffic
Rush hour on I-93, Route 128, and the Pike can add hours. Drivers time deliveries around it.
September Move-In
Boston's college move-in week packs the streets around Labor Day. Book early or pick another week.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Vermont to Massachusetts?
Here's what affects price on a Vermont to Massachusetts shipment.
Short Haul
Short trips still need a full carrier, so per-mile cost runs higher than a long haul.
Western Mass vs. Boston
Pittsfield and Springfield come first. Boston and the Cape run I-93.
Pickup Location
Brattleboro is closest to Springfield. Burlington is closest to Boston via I-89.
City Delivery
Boston and Cambridge streets rarely fit a carrier, so the driver may meet you at a lot.
Open or Enclosed
Enclosed keeps road salt off a nicer car.
Lead Time
A few days of notice is usually enough on this lane.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Massachusetts.
Registering in Massachusetts
New residents should register with the RMV right away, and the car needs a Massachusetts inspection within 7 days of registering. You'll also pay sales or use tax unless you've owned the car long enough to qualify for an exemption. Check mass.gov/rmv for current requirements.
Boston Streets
Narrow streets and resident parking in Boston and Cambridge mean the driver will usually meet you at a lot or wide street nearby.
Ski House Swaps
Moving a car between a Boston-area home and a Vermont ski place? Book both directions together.
Burlington Pickups
Burlington, Williston, Essex, and Shelburne are reached on I-89 and US-7, so carriers pass through regularly. Narrow streets in the Old North End and the Hill Section usually mean meeting at a lot near I-89.

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.

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.
