All figures are estimates. We work from road miles between the two addresses, show a range, and finalize the number with your vehicle, dates and trailer type. Short hops into Massachusetts and Connecticut, and into the New York and New Jersey area, are cheap enough that a quote on your exact addresses beats any example. The shortest routes we price in a range are Manchester to Rochester, New York (426 miles) at $370–$528 and Baltimore to Manchester (442 miles) at $384–$548. Next come Manchester to Washington, DC (474 miles) at $411–$588, Manchester to Alexandria, Virginia (481 miles) at $418–$596 and Manchester to Buffalo (492 miles) at $427–$610.
Ohio and the Great Lakes sit about 670 to 740 miles out. Manchester to Cleveland (673 miles) is $499–$713, Manchester to Akron (674 miles) is $500–$714 and Manchester to Sterling Heights, Michigan (740 miles) is $539–$770. North Carolina is the same distance: Manchester to Durham (732 miles) at $533–$761, Manchester to Cary (750 miles) at $546–$780 and Manchester to Raleigh (752 miles) at $547–$782.
From there the cost grows slowly with distance. Davenport, Iowa is 1,167 miles ($792–$1,132), St. Louis is 1,225 miles ($832–$1,188) and Cedar Rapids is 1,247 miles ($847–$1,210). The Gulf Coast adds more: Manchester to New Orleans (1,558 miles) is $971–$1,387 and Manchester to Baton Rouge (1,615 miles) is $984–$1,405. The Rocky Mountain runs of 1,977 to 1,997 miles to Greeley, Fort Collins and Thornton, Colorado, are close together: $1,079–$1,542, $1,083–$1,547 and $1,090–$1,558. The West Coast tops the list, with Spokane at 2,801 miles ($1,157–$1,653), Victorville at $1,212–$1,731 and Fontana at $1,227–$1,753.
Direction barely matters. Little Rock to Manchester is $954–$1,363 and Manchester to Little Rock is $957–$1,367, and the same holds for Cleveland to Manchester at $502–$718. What does change a quote:

Manchester is the state's largest city and the hub for carriers on Interstate 93 and Interstate 293, with Manchester-Boston Regional Airport on the south side. Downtown and the West Side have tight streets and triple-deckers with little parking, while the south end and the malls give a driver wide lots. Most routes in our table start here.
Cities 1The southern tier sits along the Massachusetts line on the Everett Turnpike and Route 3, and many residents commute to Boston. Streets are wide in the newer subdivisions around Merrimack, where a large brewery employs local workers, and Hudson and Nashua have plenty of shopping-center lots. It is the easiest part of the state for a pickup.
Cities 3Salem and Derry lie on Interstate 93 just north of the Massachusetts line, and Route 28 and Route 102 connect them to the rest of the region. Salem has retail strips and a large mall, and Derry has older neighborhoods and the Robert Frost Farm. Cars here can usually be picked up by a driver already heading to Boston or Manchester.
Cities 2The Seacoast runs along Interstate 95 and the Spaulding Turnpike. Portsmouth is a tight old port city with one-way streets and limited parking, Dover and Rochester are wider, and the Pease Tradeport has big lots near the old air base. Summer visitors and the nearby University of New Hampshire in Durham add steady traffic.
Cities 3Concord, the state capital, sits where Interstates 93 and 89 meet, and the Lakes Region begins just north around Laconia and Lake Winnipesaukee. Vacation homes, boat storage and motorcycle events create seasonal bursts of cars. Waterfront roads can be narrow, and a driver may ask you to meet on a main road.
Cities 2Keene is the main city of the Monadnock region, home of Keene State College, and Claremont lies on the Connecticut River across from Vermont. Route 101 and Route 12 are the main roads, and village streets are older and narrower. Winter snow and spring mud can slow pickups in the hill towns.
Cities 2Lebanon, near Dartmouth and a large medical center, sits on Interstate 89, while Littleton and Berlin are farther north on Interstate 93 and Route 16. Distances between towns grow, and snow arrives earlier and stays longer. A driver may ask you to meet at a lot in a larger town, and a flexible window helps in winter.
Cities 3Each shipment has a pickup stage and a transit stage. Expect a driver within 1–3 business days after booking, often sooner on the I-93 corridor between Manchester and Boston, where carriers load all day. Transit then follows distance. The eastern runs of 426 to 492 miles, to Rochester, Baltimore, Washington, Alexandria and Buffalo, take 1–2 days. The runs of 673 to 677 miles to Cleveland and Akron are 1–2 days. Sterling Heights, Durham and Raleigh at 732 to 752 miles are 2–3 days. Davenport, St. Louis and Cedar Rapids at 1,167 to 1,247 miles are 2–4 days. Little Rock and New Orleans at 1,482 to 1,615 miles are 3–5 days, the Colorado runs at 1,977 to 1,997 miles are 5–8 days, Spokane is 7–9 days, and Victorville and Fontana are 7–10 days.
New Hampshire’s road network funnels everything toward a few corridors. Interstate 93 runs north from the Massachusetts line through Salem, Manchester and Concord to Franconia Notch. Interstate 95 touches the coast for a short stretch at Portsmouth, and Interstate 89 leaves Concord for Lebanon and Vermont. The F.E. Everett Turnpike connects Nashua to Concord, the Spaulding Turnpike links Dover, Rochester and Portsmouth, and Route 101 crosses the state from Keene to the Seacoast. Summer traffic toward the lakes and the mountains and Friday ski traffic on I-93 can slow carriers heading north.
Because the state is small, a driver working a Massachusetts route will often swing through southern New Hampshire for a pickup. Drivers prefer a wide street or a shopping-center lot, and many Nashua and Manchester addresses fit that easily.
Expect a call from the driver the day before pickup, and have the keys, a copy of your booking and someone who can sign the condition report. At delivery, walk around the car with the driver, compare it with the pickup report and note anything new before you sign. In a winter storm, ask for a revised arrival day as soon as the forecast turns, so you are not waiting outside at the address.
Pickup is usually scheduled within a 1–3 business day window after booking; transit time depends on the distance.
| Zone | Transit |
|---|---|
| Northeast & New England | 1–2 days |
| Mid-Atlantic | 1–2 days |
| Great Lakes & Ohio Valley | 1–4 days |
| Southeast & Florida | 2–5 days |
| Great Plains & Upper Midwest | 2–5 days |
| Texas & South Central | 3–8 days |
| Mountain West & Southwest | 5–10 days |
| West Coast & Pacific Northwest | 7–10 days |
Road salt is the leading reason New Hampshire owners ask about a closed trailer. The state treats its highways for months, brine and sand coat anything left on an open carrier through the winter, and a Seacoast garage keeps its own share of salt air. Classic and antique cars, sports cars, and new vehicles bought from a dealer in Manchester, Nashua or Portsmouth are common enclosed loads, as are cars heading to or from the lake and ski houses. Most daily drivers go on an open carrier, which is the standard choice and costs less. To keep a car out of salt, slush and gravel, ask for enclosed transport when you request a quote. There are fewer enclosed trucks than open ones, so give the pickup a longer window and book sooner in the fall and winter months, when demand is highest.
Manchester is the center of New Hampshire car shipping, and the routes we publish all pass through it. Our Mid-Atlantic and New York lanes include Manchester to Rochester, New York at $370–$528, Manchester to Baltimore at $378–$539 and Manchester to Buffalo at $427–$610. Heading west, Manchester to Cleveland is $499–$713 and Manchester to Sterling Heights is $539–$770, so a Manchester pickup can join a truck bound for the Great Lakes.
Manchester works well because it sits on Interstate 93, 293 and Route 101 with a large trucking corridor to Boston close by. For a pickup, a driver calls ahead, inspects the car with you and writes any marks on a condition report, then loads it. Keep about a quarter tank of fuel and take out personal items. On delivery you sign the same report, so keep your copy and take photos first.
Read our pages for Manchester, Nashua and Concord for local tips, and our carriers can send proof of insurance on request.
Many New Hampshire cars go south, whether for a job in the capital region, a military posting or a winter home. Manchester to Washington, DC (474 miles) is estimated at $411–$588, and the return Washington, DC to Manchester (477 miles) at $414–$591. Manchester to Alexandria is $418–$596 and Baltimore to Manchester is $384–$548, all in 1–2 days. Farther south, Manchester to Durham is $533–$761, Manchester to Cary is $546–$780 and Manchester to Raleigh is $547–$782 in 2–3 days.
The same lanes carry retirees and second-home owners. Heading to Florida or the Carolinas for winter, they send cars in October or November and bring them back in April. Choose a window of several days and tell us if you will be away, so someone can sign the condition report when the car arrives.
Southbound trucks are plentiful on I-95, so a flexible pickup usually gets a good match, but a snowstorm can still hold things up for a day.
New Hampshire’s colleges bring families from across the country. Students at Dartmouth, UNH, Keene State and Plymouth State often ship a car from the Midwest or South. From the Midwest, Manchester to Davenport is $792–$1,132, Manchester to St. Louis is $832–$1,188 and Manchester to Cedar Rapids is $847–$1,210. From the Gulf and the Mississippi Valley, Little Rock to Manchester is $954–$1,363, Manchester to New Orleans is $971–$1,387 and Manchester to Baton Rouge is $984–$1,405.
People moving to or from the Rockies use Manchester to Greeley at $1,079–$1,542, Manchester to Fort Collins at $1,083–$1,547 and Manchester to Thornton at $1,090–$1,558, each about 5–8 days on the road. The Pacific Northwest and California run longer: Manchester to Spokane is $1,157–$1,653, Manchester to Victorville is $1,212–$1,731 and Manchester to Fontana is $1,227–$1,753.
For a job move, we can coordinate the pickup around your other moving plans. Confirm the address, have a contact on site who can sign the condition report, and allow extra time in winter and mud season.

For the New Hampshire routes we price, our estimates start at $370–$528 for Manchester to Rochester, New York and reach $1,227–$1,753 for Manchester to Fontana, California. Examples: Manchester to Washington, DC $411–$588, Manchester to Cleveland $499–$713, Little Rock to Manchester $954–$1,363. These are estimates, and the final price depends on the vehicle, the season and open or enclosed transport. Request a free quote for an exact figure.
Manchester to Victorville (2,934 miles) and Manchester to Fontana (2,971 miles) take 7–10 days in transit, and Manchester to Spokane (2,801 miles) takes 7–9 days. Add a pickup window of 1–3 business days after booking. A Rockies snowstorm in winter can add a day or more.
On main roads, yes. In March and April dirt and posted roads in the hill towns and the North Country can be too soft for a loaded carrier, and after a heavy snowfall steep driveways may be impassable. In those cases the driver will meet you at a lot or a main road nearby. Give us a backup meeting point and a phone number.
Yes, though drivers may ask you to meet in a larger town such as Littleton, Berlin or Lebanon instead of a mountain road. Expect a longer pickup window in winter and during foliage weekends, and give precise directions.
Book a few weeks before term starts, because trucks fill up in late August. Choose a pickup spot near campus with room for a carrier, such as a parking lot or a wide street, and name a person who can sign the condition report at delivery.
Many New Hampshire snowbirds ship a car south in the fall and back in spring, since it avoids the miles and road salt on I-95. Ask for a pickup window of a week and make sure someone can meet the driver at both ends. Estimates depend on the exact origin and destination, so request a quote.
Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport, meaning the carrier will pick up and deliver your vehicle as close to your specified locations as possible. In some cases, due to narrow streets or local restrictions, you may need to meet the carrier at a nearby location.
While we expect carriers to deliver all vehicles without damage, accidents can happen. It is important for customers to inspect their vehicles upon receipt. If damage is noticed, customers should contact our office asap. Damage should be documented on the “Bill of Lading” received from the driver. If a report is not made in a timely manner we will not be able to assist you with the damage.
All our carriers are fully licensed, insured, and vetted to meet federal and state regulations. We work only with professional, experienced transporters to ensure the safe delivery of your vehicle.
“I contacted Freedom Auto Transport under short notice and they delivered. Got my vehicle picked up in Dallas, TX the same day, it took about 3 days to get delivered. Driver contacted me prior to arrival on both ends and was very friendly. Very easy to do business with. Thanks again.”
“I wanted to share my experience dealing with Freedom Auto Transport. Could not have gone any smoother. Called up Tuesday morning, had my vehicle picked up and on a trailer the very next day! Wow! Everyone I spoke to at Freedom was extremely helpful and friendly. Very pleased with my experience and would 10000% recommend Freedom to anyone that needs auto transport service. Thanks again..”
“Freedom was great, Dan S. with Freedom was the only carrier who could deliver on the dates I needed. I contacted several transporters, the prices and dates changed every 5 minutes. Dan was very helpful every step of the way, and extremely reasonable! I will use these guys from this point forward, make one call and it’s a done deal! Thanks Dan!”
Freedom Auto Transport runs a solid operation. Dorian is the reason I chose this carrier even though I had all but agreed to work with a different hauler. He was fast to return my calls, texted frequently, and used all his contacts to arrange a quick turnaround on the 4Runner I shipped. He almost managed to get a same day pick-up but the dealership I was working with couldn’t complete the paperwork in time for an evening pick up. Easy paperwork/signatures. No heavy sales pitch. Just familiarity with how the industry works, good relationships to leverage, and the urgency to help. I think he really feels good knowing he’s helping to deliver something meaningful to others. Ive used different companies each time I’ve shipped a vehicle but the next time I need a car or truck shipped, I want to work with Dorian. Cheers!
