What factors affect the cost to ship a car?
Several factors can affect your car shipping cost to or from Long Island, NY — the six below are the ones that move it most, and they pull in different directions at once: a longer lane costs more in total but less per mile, an enclosed carrier adds protection and price, and a pickup date with some give in it can cancel out a busy-season premium. The quote you get is for your exact vehicle, dates and addresses, and it covers pickup, transport and delivery with no fees added afterwards.

Door-to-Door Car Shipping in Long Island: Neighborhoods We Serve
Long Island is Nassau and Suffolk counties, and the first thing a car hauler learns here is that the parkways are closed to it. Carriers run the Long Island Expressway, Sunrise Highway, Jericho Turnpike, and Route 110, then work in from there, which makes most suburban addresses an ordinary driveway pickup. The exceptions are the village centers, the narrow lanes along the North Shore, and the East End in summer.
Nassau: the South Shore
Hempstead · Freeport · Long Beach · Valley Stream · Rockville Centre · Baldwin · Merrick · Massapequa
Flat gridded blocks off Sunrise Highway and Merrick Road; the barrier-beach streets in Long Beach are narrow and metered.
Nassau: central and the North Shore
Oyster Bay · Hicksville · Levittown · East Meadow · Garden City · Great Neck · Port Washington · Syosset
Straightforward off the Long Island Expressway and Jericho Turnpike; the Gold Coast lanes near the water are tight and usually move the handoff.
Western Suffolk
Huntington · Babylon · Islip · Smithtown · Commack · Brentwood · West Babylon · Bay Shore
Wide commercial corridors on Route 110, Jericho Turnpike, and Sunrise Highway make this the easiest part of the island for a carrier.
Eastern Suffolk & the East End
Coram · Patchogue · Stony Brook · Riverhead · Southampton · East Hampton · Montauk · Greenport
The expressway ends at Riverhead: carriers finish on Route 58, Sunrise Highway, or Route 25, slowly in summer traffic.

What Long Island Pickups Actually Look Like
Most handoffs are straightforward door-to-door pickups. These are the exceptions, and how the driver handles them.
Parkways are closed to car haulers
The Northern State, Southern State, Meadowbrook, Wantagh, and Ocean parkways carry no commercial traffic, and their stone overpasses sit too low for a loaded hauler in any case. Carriers use the Long Island Expressway, Sunrise Highway, Jericho Turnpike, and Route 110 instead, which is why the driver's route to your street can look longer than the map suggests.
Village centers and the East End
Village downtowns in Rockville Centre, Huntington, and Garden City run on narrow one-way blocks with parking on both sides, and the lanes off the North Shore and out in the Hamptons are tighter still. The handoff moves to a nearby main road or a shopping-center lot, and gated communities meet the truck at the gate.
How does vehicle transport to and from Long Island work?
- 1
Get your car shipping quote
Enter your pickup and delivery details and your Long Island vehicle transport price appears on screen in seconds. Choose open-carrier shipping, the most popular and cost-effective option, or an enclosed carrier for additional protection.
- 2
Vehicle pickup
Book online or with a transport coordinator and pick a date. On pickup day your vehicle is inspected, carefully loaded onto the carrier, and you can track the status of your shipment online at any time.
- 3
Vehicle delivery
On delivery day your vehicle is safely offloaded and a final inspection confirms it arrived in the same condition as when it was picked up.
Before the carrier arrives in Long Island
Three things to handle between booking and pickup day. They take an hour in total and make both handoffs smooth.
Schedule in advance
Book 7–14 days ahead for the best rates, and 2–3 weeks during peak season, when carrier space is tightest.
Prep and empty the vehicle
Wash the car, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, and remove personal items. Anything left inside is not protected against loss or damage in transit.
Inspect at pickup and delivery
Walk around the vehicle with the driver at both ends, photograph its condition, and note anything new on the Bill of Lading before signing.
Who Ships Cars in Long Island, and Why
The shipments Long Island generates most, and the service built for each.
Shipping a car to Long Island
Inbound Long Island auto transport ends at your door in Long Island or in Nassau: the South Shore, Nassau: central and the North Shore, Western Suffolk. The carrier comes in with a delivery window set once the truck is a day out, and the driver checks the vehicle with you against the condition recorded at pickup before you sign for it.
If you are moving in, the quote is the same whether the car rides ahead of you or after you; New York registration comes afterwards, and the New York DMV links in the pickup section above cover that paperwork.
Shipping a car from Long Island
Outbound, Long Island auto transport starts with one quote for the exact vehicle and dates. A transport coordinator assigns the carrier, confirms the pickup date, and from then on the driver is your contact for timing.
Open transport is the standard choice for a daily driver leaving New York; enclosed transport is there for a car that should arrive without weather or road debris on it. Either way the price you see is for your exact vehicle, not a class average.

Open or Enclosed Transport for Long Island?
Open car transport is the standard choice for most shipments and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip — the same way dealers move new inventory. See open auto transport for details.
Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.
Expedited shipping is also available when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle there faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from military relocations to students starting a new semester.
Tips for shipping a car to or from Long Island
Keep the pickup window flexible
A two- to three-day window lets the dispatcher place your car on the first carrier passing through; a fixed single day is the most expensive way to book.
Name a second contact for the handoff
Someone over 18 has to release and accept the vehicle, hand over the keys and sign the inspection reports. If you cannot be at the Long Island address yourself, name a person you trust at booking.
Say so if the car does not run
Inoperable vehicles ship on a carrier with a winch, for an additional fee and usually a slightly longer wait for the right truck. Mention it at quote time so the assignment is right the first time.

Excellent communication, friendly driver, safe journey from NY to Arizona! Driver contacted me to let me know when he would pick up the car and he was on time. He let me know when the car was going to be delivered, and was on time. The car arrived safely with no damage. Reasonable price - much cheaper than driving with hotels, gas, and food. I would definitely use them again!
