A small state on a big corridor
Rhode Island is in New England, between Connecticut and Massachusetts. I-95 enters from Connecticut near Westerly, runs up through Warwick and Cranston to Providence, and continues through Pawtucket into Massachusetts toward Boston. I-195 heads east from Providence toward East Providence and Fall River, and I-295 loops around the west side of the Providence area. Route 146 runs north toward Worcester, and Newport sits out on Aquidneck Island.
Because I-95 is one of the main north-south routes on the East Coast, carriers headed for New England pass close by. Pickups in Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket, East Providence and Woonsocket are straightforward, and Newport and South County addresses are served too.
For Rhode Island dealers
We handle dealer trades with stores across New England and beyond, auction pickups, deliveries of new and sold vehicles, store-to-store moves, and fleet and off-lease returns. Ship one car or several at once. If the carrier you had lined up drops the load, we can step in, and you work with the same person on every order.
See how dealer trade transport works, read about fleet and off-lease returns, or start at the dealer desk.
For students, sailors and snowbirds
Rhode Island has students at Brown, the University of Rhode Island in Kingston and other schools, Navy families at Naval Station Newport, and plenty of residents who head south for the winter. We ship personal cars for all of them, along with anyone relocating or buying a car from out of state. Snowbirds can send the car to Florida or the Carolinas in the fall and back in the spring; see seasonal car shipping.
Daily drivers travel on open trailers. Classic, exotic and high-value cars can ride in enclosed trailers.
