Shipping a car in Newport

Newport is a small Penobscot County, Maine community of about 3,159 residents. The closest ME city we cover is Dexter, about 15 mi away, which is what makes a door pickup practical here. Where a full-size trailer cannot reach the address, we agree a meet point at the time of booking.

Newport works as a standalone pickup within reach of Dexter (15 mi), Hermon (20 mi) and Hampden (20 mi). A Maine run through this area may take in Dexter on the same trip before heading out on I-95, I-295, and US-1. That is why pickup is quoted as a window of days rather than a set hour: the arrival time depends on the stops booked around yours.

Distances from Newport to the larger markets around it: Boston, MA at about 235 road miles, Providence, RI at about 280 road miles and New York City, NY at about 445 road miles. Distance decides more of a long-distance rate than anything else, so those numbers are where a quote starts. Our published corridors of comparable length, 105 to 375 miles, quote $400 to $700 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Elsewhere in Penobscot County we also collect in Bangor, Brewer, Dexter and Hampden and 5 more. A booking that shares a truck with a neighbouring pickup is usually the cheaper option, so it is worth mentioning if you are moving more than one vehicle.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Newport pickup as for any other, so they are covered once rather than on every city page. Before pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to look up on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate. How to prepare your car for shipping covers the wash, fuel level and personal items, and the Bill of Lading guide explains the condition report you sign at both ends.
