Shipping a Car from New York to Boston- how much does it cost?

Review the main factors that control the cost to ship a car. Please, keep in mind that prices change weekly and that is why a price quote is good for one week only. Several factors play a role and it is important to understand that. The price does not depend only on the type of car or the type of car carrier. The distance matter, but it is also not the only factor. Please, check below for all factors that affect the cost to ship a car. 

Vehicle make & model

Smaller cars are cheaper to ship, while bigger vehicles are more expensive. Hence, the make and model of your vehicle affect the price.

Transport Type

Open auto transport is the standard and most affordable way to ship a car. Enclosed carrier costs more. So the type of carrier also affects the price.

Distance

More miles means less per mile. Shorter distances still consume gas and require the same amount of work, but in the end it is fewer miles traveled, which increases the price per mile.

Location

Whether the car is coming and going to a major metro area or rural place matters. Fewer carriers travel to remote areas to pick-up or deliver vehicles.

Vehicle Condition

A vehicle that is not moving on its own power may require a winch or a forklift to be loaded. This increases the price.

Supply / Demand

At the end of the equation, we add current supply and demand. When demand is high the truck space is limited and this means higher prices.

Type of car shipping service to choose
Enclosed Auto Transport Corsia Logistics Porsche

Open auto transport is the standard vehicle shipping solutions. It works for all types of vehicles, and all distances. It is the fastest and the most affordable car shipping service.

Shipping a Car from New York to Boston


Moving to The Walking City

boston

Founded in 1630, Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States, which explains the city’s rich history and culture, and its European spirit. Among some of the Historical Outings are the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, Paul Revere’s House, and Longfellow’s Wayside Inn — the oldest inn in the States that is still operating.

With a population of 687,584 in 2017, Boston is the capital and most populous municipality of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States. Boston’s humid continental climate is similar to New York with warm and humid summers and cold and stormy winters. July is the hottest month, while the coldest is January which is filled with snow most of the time.

Economy and living costs

Boston is one of the top 30 most powerful cities in the world in terms of economy. The Greater Boston metropolitan area is ranked in the sixth position in the United States, and in the 12th position worldwide. The city attracts over 350,000 college students from all over the world with its top colleges and universities which play a significant part in Boston’s booming economy.

Compared to the national average, living in Boston can be 47% more expensive. But since you are going to move from New York, you are already used to high costs of living, and moving to Boston will actually be a relieve.

Overall, Boston is 6% cheaper than New York with 14% cheaper housing. The average rent for a studio apartment in Boston is $2,318  while the median home value is $569,500. Among some of the key factors that define the cost of living in Boston are housing costs, healthcare, utilities, and transportation.

Housing and neighborhoods

Finding housing in Boston can be really tough given how short its supply of homes for sales is. Finding a good place to rent is no piece of cake either. Avoid looking for housing during the month of September as the real estate market in Boston is based on the school-year schedule and prices can go pretty high starting September 1st.

July and August are two of the best months if you want to find great apartment deals. Just make sure you find a great neighborhood that fits you first because that’s where you will spend most of your free time. Picking a neighborhood that is close to your work would be ideal, to avoid commuting altogether. Beacon Hill, South Boston, and Back Bay are some of the best neighborhoods you can pick from.

Job market and unemployment rate

Often called “The Hub”, Boston is literally a hub of job opportunities especially in higher education, technology, biotech, life sciences, finance, and the medical sector.  If you are moving to Boston and will soon be on the lookout for a new job, check out the Boston Career Center and Monster — some of the best sites to apply for jobs. There are plenty of startups offering job positions in different areas every day. It is after all the home of Harvard UniversityMIT, Boston University, Liberty Mutual, Massachusetts General Hospital and many more.

As of November 2017, Boston unemployment rate is only 3.0%, way lower compared to the national average, and 1% lower compared to New York.

Boston attractions

Looking very much like a European city, Boston is packed with things to see in almost every corner and offers plenty of opportunities for weekend getaways thanks to its favorable location. Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Cape Cod, and Newport are just some of the best spots you can pick for short weekend, trips preferably during the summer season.

Lakes and mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, Boston Harbor Islands, and the rocky coastlines of Maine are also a must visit and easily accessible. Make sure not to miss Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, the Freedom Trail, Boston Public Garden, Quincy Market, and the Skywalk Observatory once you settle too.

Moving to Boston with a car

If you are going to move to Boston with your car, you need to register it with the RMV within 30 days after you become a resident. Depending on the type of vehicle you own, you may also need to transfer your certificate of title to Massachusetts. Just like in New York, the car insurance is mandatory in order to register your car, and it is attached to your licensed plate, so plan accordingly. As per your out-of-state driver’s license, you need to transfer it as soon as you can once you move to Boston, as well as visit your local Massachusetts RMV office in person to submit the needed documents and turn over your out-of-state license.
