Massachusetts to Vermont Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Massachusetts to Vermont is a short trip, often a few hours of driving. Short-trip scheduling, winter snow in the mountains and spring mud season cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Short Trips Can Take Longer to Schedule
Most car carriers are set up for long hauls, so a trip of only 100 to 300 miles can take a few days to fit into a driver's schedule. Being flexible on the pickup day helps.
Getting a Truck Into Boston
Boston and Cambridge have narrow streets, low bridges and parkways that are closed to trucks, such as Storrow Drive and Memorial Drive. A 75-foot car carrier usually can't reach a city home, so plan to meet the driver at a large lot near I-90, I-93 or I-95.
Spring Mud Season
In March and April, Vermont towns post weight limits on many dirt and back roads while the ground thaws. A loaded car carrier may not be allowed on those roads, so rural deliveries often meet at a main road instead.
Snow in the Green Mountains
Routes over the Green Mountains, such as US-4 into Rutland, get heavy snow from December through March. Storms can slow trucks or delay a delivery by a day.
Tip: Register Within 60 Days in Vermont
Vermont gives new residents 60 days to register, or less if your Massachusetts registration runs out sooner. Bring your title, odometer reading, proof of insurance and proof of any sales tax you paid on the car, which Vermont credits against its own tax. After you register, you have 15 days to get the car inspected.
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.
