What New York to Maine transport costs
Open transport on this lane typically runs $500–$725 for a standard sedan or small SUV. Enclosed transport typically runs $725–$1,075. Large trucks, lifted vehicles, oversized SUVs and inoperable cars price above those ranges because they take more deck space or require winch-equipped equipment.
Price on any lane is set by what a driver will accept to run it that week — not by a per-mile chart. Fuel, seasonal direction of travel, how far the pickup sits off the interstate and how tight your dates are all move the number.
The NY → ME corridor
Most drivers run this load straight down I-95, joining the highway near New York City and staying on it into Portland. Because origin and destination share a through-route, New York to Maine loads fill faster than lanes that force a driver to jump corridors mid-trip.
New York winters genuinely affect this lane — ice, lake-effect snow and closed passes can push a pickup by a day, and drivers will not load or unload on an untreated incline. Maine winters genuinely affect this lane — ice, lake-effect snow and closed passes can push a delivery by a day, and drivers will not load or unload on an untreated incline.
Timing this route
Plan on roughly 500 miles per day once your vehicle is loaded, which puts this route at 1–2 days in transit.
Lead time on this lane is shorter than a coast-to-coast move. One to three weeks is usually plenty, though October through December and March through May tighten up on anything touching northern New England.
Pickup and delivery access
At roughly 450 miles this is a short regional run, so a driver often loads and delivers within the same dispatch week. Pickup happens at your address wherever a 75-foot rig can legally stop.

Not sure which type of carrier you need?
Don't worry. You don't have to know whether your vehicle belongs on an open carrier, an enclosed trailer, a winch-equipped truck or specialized equipment. Just tell us what you're shipping, its condition, where it's going and when you need it moved. We'll review the shipment and determine what type of transportation is appropriate.
Please note: Anything that rolls on its own wheels must be roadworthy before pickup. The customer is responsible for repairs — tires, bearings, brakes, lights — and for towing and repair costs if the unit becomes disabled in transit.
