Shipping a car in Groton

Groton is a small Brown County, South Dakota community of about 1,343 residents. The closest SD city we cover is Aberdeen, about 20 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.

Groton works as a standalone pickup within reach of Aberdeen (20 mi), Clark (45 mi) and Redfield (45 mi). A South Dakota run through this area may take in Aberdeen on the same trip before heading out on I-90, I-29, and I-80. 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 Groton to the larger markets around it: Fargo, ND at about 140 road miles, Sioux Falls, SD at about 180 road miles and Minneapolis, MN at about 285 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 290 miles, quote $400 to $650 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Elsewhere in Brown County we also collect in Aberdeen. 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 Groton 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.
