Massachusetts to Indiana Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Massachusetts to Indiana is a two- to five-day trip west along the Great Lakes. Lake-effect snow on I-90 and near South Bend and the toll roads on the way cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Lake-Effect Snow on I-90
West of Albany, I-90 runs past Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Erie and Cleveland, some of the snowiest cities in the country. From December through February, lake-effect snow bands can close lanes on the Thruway and the Ohio Turnpike with little warning.
Toll Roads Most of the Way
The Mass Pike, the New York Thruway, the Ohio Turnpike and the Indiana Toll Road are all toll roads, and truck tolls add up over a trip this long. That is one reason quotes from Massachusetts can run higher than from states with fewer toll roads.
Lake-Effect Snow in Northern Indiana
Cold winds off Lake Michigan dump heavy snow on northern Indiana, and South Bend is one of the snowiest cities in the state. In winter, these bands can close lanes on the Toll Road and slow the truck down.
Tip: Avoid Indy 500 Weekend
The Indianapolis 500 runs on the Sunday before Memorial Day and draws one of the biggest crowds in sports. If you are shipping to the Indianapolis area in late May, pick a date away from race weekend if you can.
Tip: Title Within 60 Days in Indiana
Indiana gives new residents 60 days to apply for a title. Bring the car to a BMV branch so the VIN can be inspected, along with your Massachusetts title, proof of address and proof of insurance. If you live in Lake or Porter County, you will also need an emissions test.
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.

Yes. Carriers with a winch can load and unload a car that doesn't run, as long as it rolls, steers and brakes. 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. Shipping an Inoperable Vehicle explains how it works.
