Car shipping in Connecticut

Connecticut is a state of many firsts: the first color television in 1954, the first American sewing machine in 1846, the first telephone book in 1878 (listing only 50 individuals and businesses on a single piece of cardboard) and even the first set speed limit in 1901—at a whopping 12 miles per hour.

The state draws in millions of tourists each year to visit its various historical sites, acclaimed academic institutions and nautical attractions. Assuming you don’t want to travel around the state at 12 miles per hour (Don’t worry, the speed limit has since been changed.), bring your own vehicle along as a reliable form of transportation.

What to consider when shipping a car in Connecticut

Preparing for an upcoming long-term visit or permanent move to Connecticut? Whether you want your car, truck or powersport vehicle available for exploring the state, take the stress out of transporting it yourself. Ship the vehicle and have it ready when you arrive! Professional auto transport provides a variety of benefits. 

When arranging car shipment to or from Connecticut, it’s important to have certain details in mind: transport distance, time of year, specific pick up and drop off locations and vehicle year and type. These factors may impact the type of transport, any special accommodations needed and how much it will cost you. Be prepared with this information when you begin researching.

Choose the best Connecticut auto transport company

Before you toss your keys to a driver and let them head off with your car; it’s critical to take the appropriate steps to ensure you’re using a reputable company to transport your vehicle. Read customer reviews, check Better Business Bureau (BBB) listings and ask for state and federal licenses. Companies should be registered with both the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). 

You may also decide to work with a broker to match you with the right car carrier for your needs. GAS Motorsports arranges shipment for thousands of vehicles around the country every year.

Testimonials

Our client loves us because of our quality work

If there were a 5+ rating I would use it! Roman and his team have been moving our cars between Washington and California every season for the past 5+ years. In the past we had used other services and had problems. We have never had an issue with GAS.

Alan Zoltie

First time shipping a car out-of-state; obviously nervous and apprehensive. Roman thoroughly explained the process and keep me posted on actual pick up date & time.  Car arrived in Denver in the exact same condition it left Bellingham. Will certainly used GAS Motorsport again. DF

Dave Fleming

Very flexible, delivered my vehicle on a revised date and within minutes of ETA. Communications were excellent from start to finish and made the transition seem less. Would use their service again!

I moved 2 vehicles with them. Fast service at a fair price. I liked that my cars were stored inside their secure shop until pick up. Once on the truck they sent me photos and contact info for the driver. Highly recommended!
