What customers say about shipping a car to or from Buffalo with Montway:
Our driver arrived the day after talking to the Montway rep. He carefully loaded our car in his enclosed carrier. The next evening, he arrived with the car in the same shape it departed in.
On time, enclosed trailer, great communication, and got the car safely delivered. I would use Montway again.
Enclosed carrier, skillful driver, on time, delivered in perfect condition and a great price. Very happy
This was my second time using Montway to arrange enclosed transport of my Corvette. Montway did a great job picking up & delivering my vehicle. Thank you Montway!
I have used Montway twice, and they were excellent both times with my nice cars. I used enclosed transport.
Had to ship my son’s van from Dunedin, FL to the Air Force base in CA. From start to finish Montway Auto Transport was amazing! Fast, affordable, and the communication was flawless!
We recently used Montway Auto Transport to transport our car 1,330 miles from Wisconsin to Florida and back and the experience was virtually flawless from start to finish.
Montway and the carrier transported my vehicle from Englewood, FL to Nashua, NH. This is the second time I’ve used them and plan to do so again next winter. We were very pleased with them.
I used them to transport 2 Harley Davidson motorcycles from Oregon to Texas. They were both great experiences. Super nice, professional people from scheduling to delivery. I highly recommend Montway.
This is the fourth year I have used Montway to transport my motorcycle from Chicago to La Jolla, CA and back. They did a great job providing enclosed transportation for my motorcycle.

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.
Learn more about open car shipping.
Pros
- More affordable than shipping in an enclosed trailer
- Higher availability, making it easier to book your preferred date
- More fuel efficient than enclosed transportation
Cons
- Vehicles are exposed to the elements during transit
- Trailers often cannot accommodate vehicles with low ground clearance
- Less security and protection from vandalism
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.
Learn more about enclosed car shipping.
Pros
- Vehicles are more protected from the elements and vandalism
- Often equipped with ramps to load vehicles with lower ground clearance
- Accommodates multiple vehicle types, including motorcycles
Cons
- Less affordable than shipping a vehicle on an open trailer
- Lower availability can make scheduling pickup and dropoff more difficult
- Enclosed carriers move fewer cars at once, which may drive up the cost

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.
Buffalo car shipping FAQs

How do I pay for my Buffalo auto transport service?
You can choose to pay in full online, Montway accepts all major credit cards and PayPal. You can also pay in cash at the time of delivery. If you choose to pay in cash, there is a small partial payment of $249 or less (depending on the distance of your shipment) when you place your order to secure your car’s spot on a truck.
Can I ship personal items in my car?
With Montway you can ship one piece of luggage free of charge. It must be secured in a box, suitcase, or bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs. For safety, the luggage must be stored in the trunk or back seat below window-level.
Can I have my vehicle delivered directly to my home in Buffalo?
With Montway’s door-to-door service, you can have your car picked up anywhere in the U.S. and dropped off at your home address in Buffalo. Keep in mind that local streets may need to accommodate a car carrier trailer that can be up to 80 feet in length and weigh 80 tons. Your driver will work with you to find a safe meeting place near your home if your location isn’t legally or physically accessible.
Can I still ship my vehicle if it isn’t running?
Yes! Even if your car, truck, van or other vehicle is inoperable, we are still able to transport it. Be sure to indicate this when booking your shipment, since a specialized winch will need to be used to load and unload it on and off the truck. The added equipment and work will be an additional expense.
