OPEN car shipping
Open auto transport is the most common type of Connecticut car shipping service. In fact, even auto dealerships use this method of transportation—you’ve probably seen these trailers on the road. With open transport, cars can easily be arranged and quickly loaded and unloaded, making this option efficient and cost-effective. Keep in mind that vehicles may accumulate a bit of dirt during their journey, which is completely normal.
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
Do you need to transport your high-end hotrod? Or a prized classic or exotic car? It’s important to know that hydraulic lift gates may be needed to load and unload a car with low ground clearance and that equipment is only available with enclosed car shipping. The good news is that enclosed transport protects your vehicle from most weather and road hazards, offering additional peace of mind when shipping to or from Connecticut.
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

Top 5 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Connecticut
- If you’re moving to Connecticut, once you establish residency, you’ll have 90 days to transfer your out-of-state license. Learn more about the process.
- While waiting for your vehicle to arrive, explore the multitude of other ways to get around the state, such as Amtrak, bike trails or ferry.
- Connecticut conducts nearly 1.3 million vehicle emissions tests per year. Vehicles need to be tested every two years, so set a reminder now.
- Did you know that Connecticut is the only state along the East Coast that doesn’t collect tolls on highways? But if your car is being transported from another state with toll roads, be sure to remove the transponder before it gets loaded onto the trailer to avoid potential fees.
- In 2023, the state’s governor launched a public awareness campaign called “One Wrong Move” to reduce crashes and deaths due to wrong-way driving. Professional truckers are aware of such dangers and now you are too!
5 Helpful links for Connecticut car transport
Connecticut car shipping FAQs
What’s the cheapest way to ship a car to or from Connecticut?
A simple way to save money is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route and avoiding seasonal demand. Discover more tips about the cheapest ways to ship a car to help keep money in your pocket.
How should I prepare my car for shipment?
We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading.
Is my car insured while transporting it to or from Connecticut?
Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, Montway has its own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker’s policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.
Can I ship a vehicle to or from Connecticut even 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 specialized equipment will need to be used to load and unload it on and off the truck. If your inoperable vehicle is not able to roll, break and steer it will require added equipment and work, which will be an additional expense.
Can I have my vehicle delivered directly to my home in Connecticut?
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 Connecticut. 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 ship personal items in my car?
With Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase, or bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs.
