Massachusetts to Delaware Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Massachusetts to Delaware is a short trip down the coast, but it runs through some of the busiest roads in the country. New York-area traffic, bridge crossings and summer beach crowds cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Getting Past New York City
Routes south along the coast have to get past New York City, usually over the George Washington Bridge or the Mario Cuomo Bridge, and then down the New Jersey Turnpike. Traffic and tolls there are some of the worst in the country, so drivers try to cross early or late in the day.
The Delaware Memorial Bridge
Most trucks cross into Delaware on the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Summer weekends and rush hours back it up, and high winds can slow traffic on the twin spans.
Summer Beach Traffic
On summer weekends, Route 1 and the roads to Rehoboth and the other Delaware beaches back up for miles. Carriers try to avoid Friday and Sunday afternoons from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Tip: Pick an Easy Delivery Spot
Many Wilmington streets are too narrow or crowded for a 75-foot car carrier. A large parking lot near I-95 or Route 1 is often the easiest place to meet the driver.
Tip: Title Within 60 Days in Delaware
New residents must title and register their cars within 60 days. Every car with an out-of-state title has to go through a DMV inspection lane first. Bring your Massachusetts title, Delaware insurance and your Delaware driver's license or other proof of residency.
Tip: Prepare Your Vehicle Properly
Clean your car and remove personal items before pickup. Take date-stamped photos from every side, keep the gas tank at a quarter full or less, and check tire pressure. For a full checklist, read our article on Preparing Your Car for Transport.

Expect to pay about $150 to $300 more than for a running car, and tell us the car doesn't run when you request quotes so you are matched with the right carrier.
