OPEN car shipping

An open trailer is a safe and reliable option and the most common type of transport used for Massachusetts car shipping near you. With open transport, cars can easily be arranged and quickly loaded and unloaded, making this option efficient and cost-effective. Vehicles are not protected from weather and road conditions and may accumulate a bit of dirt during their journey, which is to be expected.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed transport is best for classic, exotic or luxury cars as well as motorcycles and powersports. Vehicles with low ground clearance will also require enclosed shipping, as the driver may need a hydraulic lift gate or ramp to load them onto the truck. Enclosed transport protects your vehicle from most weather and road hazards, offering additional peace of mind when shipping your prized possession.

Five things to consider when transporting a car to or from Massachusetts:

  • Car insurance is mandatory in Massachusetts and it’s important to ensure that your insurance coverage meets the state’s requirements. 
  • When transporting a car to Massachusetts, you need to register the vehicle with the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV). If you are moving to Massachusetts permanently, you have 30 days from the date of becoming a resident to register your vehicle.
  • Massachusetts requires certain vehicles to undergo an emissions test as part of the state’s vehicle inspection program. If your vehicle is due for an emissions test, consider scheduling it before transporting the car to Massachusetts to avoid any complications upon arrival.
  • The state has several toll roads, including the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) and various bridges and tunnels. If your car will be transported through these toll roads, remember to remove any toll devices like E-ZPass to avoid being charged for tolls during transportation.
  • Massachusetts experiences heavy snowfall during winter months. If you are transporting your car during the winter season, be aware of potential weather-related delays and hazardous road conditions.

Massachusetts car shipping FAQs

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.

You should book your Massachusetts vehicle transport as soon as you know your pick up and delivery dates and locations. The further in advance you can schedule shipping, the more likely your vehicle will be delivered within your desired timeframe. We suggest booking between two and three weeks prior to the pick up date.

With Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase or a bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs. 

For the most accurate, real-time location information on your shipment, you can directly contact your trucker for updates, email us at info@montway.com or contact us via live chat.

We suggest the vehicle is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Remove or disable any kind of security systems that could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, try to leave a quarter tank of gas in the tank so there is enough fuel to load and unload the vehicle, but not so much that it adds a significant amount of extra weight.
