OPEN car shipping

Open auto transport is the most frequently chosen shipping method due to its safety, dependability, and the abundance of available carriers. Since vehicles are easily loaded, unloaded, and organized on open trailers, this option provides an efficient and affordable

way to ship cars to or from Buffalo. Since these trailers are uncovered, vehicles might accumulate some road dust and dirt during transit.

ENCLOSED car shipping

For valuable, rare, or high-end vehicles, enclosed shipping is the ideal choice. Your vehicle will be shielded from road debris and harsh weather conditions, providing enhanced security and peace of mind.

These trailers often feature hydraulic ramps and lift gates, which are essential for loading and unloading vehicles with minimal ground clearance.

5 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Buffalo

  • If you’re moving to Buffalo and becoming a permanent New York resident, your vehicle registration must be completed within the first 30 days of your move.
  • New residents with out-of-state licenses can renew their license online with the New York DMV.
  • Drivers in New York must obtain New York state issued liability insurance. Failure to maintain this insurance can result in suspension of registration and driver’s license.
  • There are toll roads in Buffalo, primarily on the New York State Thruway that can be paid with E-ZPass, cash, or by mail. If you have an E-ZPass, remember to remove it before shipping your car to avoid fees during transit.
  • Registered vehicles in New York state are required to complete safety inspections once per year or when ownership is transferred. Emissions inspections are required during the safety inspection.
