A car carrier can reach almost anywhere in Massachusetts, though in Boston the city’s street rules decide where it can stop for a pickup. The islands are the exception. The last stretch to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket is a ferry, which changes how the delivery works, while from the mainland the long runs mostly point south and west, to Florida first and then California and Texas.
A car for Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket crosses on the Steamship Authority ferry, from Woods Hole or Hyannis, on a reservation made in advance. Woods Hole serves the Vineyard and Hyannis serves Nantucket. Every vehicle crossing needs that reservation, so it’s worth holding one before you settle on a delivery date.
The ferry’s other rule is the one that shapes the delivery. The Steamship Authority wants a driver with every vehicle the whole time it’s on the dock or the boat, and that driver takes it on and off. So the car finishes the trip with someone at the wheel, which in practice means meeting the truck on the Cape side and driving the car across. Tell us it’s going to an island when you book. A car that won’t start is harder, because the ferry can tow one aboard for a charge but can also refuse a car it can’t load under its own power.
If the move makes you a Massachusetts resident, these are the state's rules for the car.

Shipping a car to or from Massachusetts typically costs $900 to $2,450 for open transport. Pennsylvania and Illinois lanes run $900 to $1,250, Florida $950 to $1,650 and Texas $1,100 to $1,650, while Arizona and California, the two cross-country runs from Boston, cost $1,850 to $2,450.
Shipping a car to or from Massachusetts takes an estimated 2 to 8 days once it is loaded. Pennsylvania and Illinois usually take 2 to 4 days, Florida 3 to 5, Texas 4 to 6, and Arizona or California 5 to 8, since those runs cross the whole country.
As soon as you become a resident, because Massachusetts gives no grace period. The first stop is a licensed Massachusetts insurance agent, who sets up the policy and stamps your registration application before the RMV will take it. Once the car is registered it has 7 days to pass a Massachusetts inspection, which includes an emissions test for most cars under 15 years old.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
To ship a car, request a quote with your origin, destination, and vehicle details. Sequoia matches you with a driver according to your pickup window, the driver picks up your vehicle, and delivers it at your destination.
Yes. Every toll, bridge and congestion charge the truck pays on the way is already in your quote, and nothing is added for them after you book.
The truck waits until the road is safe to drive, and your pickup or delivery date moves with it. We'll confirm the driver's new window with you as soon as the road reopens. Snow on the mountain passes and in the northern states, and hurricanes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, are the usual causes.
