Vermont
Vermont car shipping, in and out of New England
Vermont is small, rural and served by two interstates, which shapes how a car gets in or out. We ship to and from Burlington, the Connecticut River towns and the rest of the Green Mountain State, and from Vermont to anywhere in the continental U.S.
- I-89 and I-91
- Snowbird, student and family moves
- One contact from quote to drop-off
Getting a car to or from Vermont
Two interstates do most of the work. I-91 follows the Connecticut River up the eastern edge of the state, through Brattleboro and White River Junction toward the Canadian border. I-89 cuts northwest from White River Junction through Montpelier, the capital, to Burlington on Lake Champlain and on to the border. Burlington, the largest city, sits with its neighbors South Burlington, Essex and Winooski in the northwest corner.
Plenty of Vermont addresses sit on two-lane roads in the hills, well away from either interstate. Send the exact address along with anything a driver should know, like a narrow road or a steep driveway, and we plan the carrier around it. Places like Rutland and Bennington on the western side are reached by state and U.S. highways rather than an interstate.
For dealers in Vermont and northern New England
A Vermont store pulling inventory from out of state needs a carrier that will commit to a rural drop. We take auction pickups, dealer trades with stores elsewhere in New England and beyond, new vehicle and customer deliveries, and off-lease returns. One unit or several on the same order.
Every order runs through one contact. If the carrier you normally use cancels, call us as the backup. The dealer desk page explains what to send with each car.
For Vermonters and people moving here
The classic Vermont move is the snowbird run: a car shipped south for the winter months and back north in spring, so nobody has to drive it both ways. We handle those, along with families relocating, students arriving at the University of Vermont in Burlington or Middlebury College, and people buying a car from a seller in another state.
Everyday cars go on an open trailer. A classic, exotic or high-value car can ride enclosed, covered from pickup to delivery. Look over our prep checklist before the driver arrives.
What booking with FCT looks like
Send us the pickup, the drop-off, the vehicle and the date it is ready. A real person writes your quote. We do not publish price tables or give instant quotes, because a winter snowbird run and a dealer load out of Burlington are priced on their own details.
Once you book, we choose a carrier we have vetted and keep the shipment fully insured. The driver and truck are confirmed before pickup, and so are your pickup window and expected delivery window. If plans shift on the road, FCT calls you first.
Your orders live at fctorders.com. Sign in with your email and a 6-digit code, no password. You can see the driver's live location while the driver is active and get the delivery BOL for each car. A car that does not run can usually still be moved; it needs different equipment, so say so when you ask.
