Shipping a car in Allentown

Allentown sits in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania and has about 127,138 residents, the 3rd largest of the Pennsylvania cities we cover. Places this size are typically served as part of a wider regional run rather than as a dedicated trip, so the pickup date generally has more give in it than the delivery window does. Booking a few days early is what buys you a choice of dates.

Allentown works as a standalone pickup within reach of Bethlehem (6 mi), Easton (15 mi) and Pottstown (25 mi). A Pennsylvania run through this area may take in Bethlehem on the same trip before heading out on I-76, I-80, and I-81. 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 Allentown to the larger markets around it: Baltimore, MD at about 130 road miles, Rochester, NY at about 250 road miles and Providence, RI at about 275 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 260 miles, quote $400 to $600 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Before you book

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