How carriers move through Connecticut.
I-95 follows the shoreline through Greenwich, Stamford, Bridgeport, New Haven and New London. I-84 runs from Danbury through Waterbury and Hartford toward Massachusetts, and I-91 links New Haven, Hartford and Springfield. Commercial vehicles are barred from the Merritt Parkway, so carriers stick to I-95 and I-84.
Seasons and weather
Nor'easters and winter storms can delay pickups for a day or more, and road salt is a reason some owners choose enclosed transport for a weekend car. Fall is busy as residents head to Florida for the winter.
Why people ship cars in Connecticut
Fairfield County moves are tied closely to New York City jobs. Yale draws students and staff to New Haven, and Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton brings Navy moves. Retirees and snowbirds also ship cars to Florida and the Carolinas.

Connecticut car shipping questions.
Can a car carrier use the Merritt Parkway?
No. Commercial vehicles aren't allowed on the Merritt Parkway, so carriers use I-95, I-84 or local roads instead. Allow a little extra time for pickups in parkway-only areas.
Do you ship cars from Connecticut to Florida for the winter?
Yes. It's one of the most common routes out of the state, and it gets busiest in October and November.
Is door-to-door pickup possible in older Connecticut towns?
Usually. Narrow village streets or low trees can mean meeting at a nearby lot, and we'll confirm the meeting point before pickup.
Which Connecticut cities do you have shipping guides for?
We have 16 city and town pages for Connecticut, including Bridgeport, Stamford, New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury, and Norwalk. We also ship to and from addresses anywhere else in the state.
How do I register a car after shipping it to Connecticut?
Registration is handled by the Connecticut DMV. Requirements and deadlines change, so check the official site before you arrive. Keep your title, proof of insurance and the carrier's bill of lading handy.
