Shipping a car in Scranton

Scranton sits in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania and has about 75,905 residents, the 8th 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.

Scranton works as a standalone pickup within reach of Wilkes-Barre (15 mi), Hazleton (35 mi) and Bloomsburg (50 mi). A Pennsylvania run through this area may take in Wilkes-Barre 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 Scranton to the larger markets around it: Philadelphia, PA at about 120 road miles, New York City, NY at about 120 road miles and Baltimore, MD at about 185 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 Scranton 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.
