Boston College
Car Shipping.

Shipping a car to or from a Boston-area college — for students and the parents sending them. Boston is home to one of the densest college clusters in the country: BU, Northeastern, BC, Harvard, MIT, Tufts and more. Our busiest lane runs down the I-95 corridor to Florida — to a Florida school, to family, or home for the summer. Parent books, student receives — we coordinate both ends.

The Campuses

A whole college city.

No metro in America packs more colleges into a smaller footprint. We pick up at every one of them — campus housing, off-campus apartments, and Greek houses across Boston, Cambridge, Brighton, and the surrounding towns.

BACK BAY

BU & Northeastern

Boston · Fenway

Boston University and Northeastern — two of the metro’s largest, with big out-of-state and out-of-region populations. Dense urban housing along Comm Ave and Huntington.

THE HILL

BC & Tufts

Chestnut Hill · Medford

Boston College in Chestnut Hill and Tufts in Medford/Somerville — suburban campuses on the metro’s edges. Door-to-door to dorms and the surrounding neighborhoods.

CAMBRIDGE

Harvard & MIT

Cambridge

Harvard and MIT across the river in Cambridge — national and international draws. We handle the inbound and outbound moves around Harvard Square and Kendall.

THE REST

& Many More

Across the metro

Emerson, Berklee, Suffolk, UMass Boston, Brandeis and the rest of the cluster. If it’s a Boston-area school, we pick up there.

How It Works

Four steps, door to door.

Shipping a student’s car is simpler than most parents expect — especially the long haul down to Florida. Here’s the whole process, built around the fact that the person booking and the person receiving are usually in two different places.

01
Get a Quote

Tell us where the car’s coming from, where it’s headed, and your timing. A specialist responds within the hour — real pricing, no upfront payment.

02
Book & Schedule

A parent can book and pay from anywhere. We lock a pickup window and confirm the vetted carrier who’ll actually run the route — you know who has the car.

03
Campus Pickup

The carrier collects the car at the Boston-area campus or apartment. For big complexes, the driver meets the student at the nearest accessible spot.

04
Delivery

We coordinate a delivery window at the destination — a Florida school, home, anywhere. Inspect, sign off, about fifteen minutes, done.

Fall & Spring

Timing the school year.

The two big windows drive everything. Both are high-demand nationwide, so booking ahead is the single best thing you can do for availability and price. Here’s how to plan each one.

Fall Semester

Late-August Move.

Peak window · book 2–3 weeks ahead
The busiest student-shipping window of the year — every campus moves at once, so carrier space is tight in both directions.
Shipping a car down to a Florida school? Book early to land it before classes start.
Expedited dispatch available when plans firm up late — ask and we’ll tell you what’s realistic.
Spring / Summer

May Move-Out.

Peak window · book 2–3 weeks ahead
End-of-year move-out is the second big rush — cars heading home, to Florida, or to a summer internship.
We coordinate pickup around finals and lease end-dates so the car’s gone before move-out day.
Heading somewhere other than home? We run lanes nationwide — just give us the destination.
For Parents

You book it. We handle the rest.

This is the most common way college car shipping works: a parent books and pays, and we coordinate pickup and delivery directly with the student. You don’t have to be in two places, and your student doesn’t have to manage a transport company between classes.

You get the updates, the car gets where it’s going, and each handoff is a quick fifteen minutes. One call sets up both ends.

Common Questions

College shipping FAQ.

Can a parent ship a car for their Boston college student?+
Yes — it’s the most common way this works. A parent books and pays, and we coordinate pickup and delivery directly with the student. Just give us both contacts and the timing. Whether the car is leaving Boston for a Florida school or coming home for the summer, the student only needs to be available at their end.
Which Boston colleges do you ship for?+
All of them. The Boston area has one of the densest college clusters in the country — BU, Northeastern, Boston College, Harvard, MIT, Tufts, Emerson, Berklee, and more. We pick up door-to-door at campus housing, off-campus apartments, and Greek houses across Boston, Cambridge, Brighton, and the surrounding towns.
Do most Boston students ship their car to Florida?+
It’s our busiest Boston lane. Boston-area students ship cars down to Florida schools, to family in Florida, and home for the summer. We run the I-95 corridor to every major Florida metro — Orlando, Miami, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Naples, and Gainesville for UF — plus nationwide.
When should I book for the school year?+
Book two to three weeks ahead of the move. Late August (heading to school) and May (heading home or to a summer internship) are the busiest windows nationwide, and carrier space fills fast. Booking early locks in better availability and pricing. We can still handle shorter timelines with expedited dispatch when plans change.
How much does it cost to ship a Boston student’s car?+
It depends on the destination, distance, vehicle, and timing. Because rates move with diesel and demand — and August and May are peak — we quote live rather than posting a fixed number. Tell us where the car is headed and a specialist responds within the hour with real pricing. No upfront payment to get a quote.
Is open or enclosed transport better for a student’s car?+
Open transport handles the large majority of student cars and is fully insured — the right call for a typical daily-driver. Enclosed is worth considering for a luxury, classic, or high-value car, adding weather and road-debris protection over a long haul — and it can be worth it through the New England winter months.
Florida-Bound or Heading Home?

Ship the car from Boston.

Tell us where the car’s headed and when the student needs it. A specialist responds within the hour — real pricing, parent-books-student-receives, door-to-door from campus.
