Shipping a car in Buffalo

Buffalo is one of the larger markets in Erie County, New York, with roughly 276,617 residents, the 2nd largest of the New York cities we cover. In a city this size the harder part of a booking is usually access rather than finding a truck: a full-size car hauler runs about 75 feet and needs somewhere it can legally stop and turn. Confirm the loading point when you book rather than leaving it to the driver on the day.

Buffalo works as a standalone pickup within reach of North Tonawanda (10 mi), Niagara Falls (15 mi) and Lockport (20 mi). A New York run through this area may take in North Tonawanda on the same trip before heading out on I-87, I-90, and I-95. 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.

Buffalo is itself an endpoint on a published corridor. Buffalo to Orlando runs 1,195 miles on a 3 to 5 day transit, typically $850 to $1,150 for a standard vehicle on an open trailer. Those figures are a firm reference for anything moving that direction.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Buffalo 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.
