From Burlington to Brattleboro
City-by-city shipping notes
Vermont is small, but its towns sit in valleys between mountains, and the roads between them wind. Notes on each town:
Burlington
The largest city, on Lake Champlain where I-89 meets US-7. The hilly streets near UVM are tight.
South Burlington and Williston
Burlington’s suburbs along I-89, where most of the stores are and there’s room to load.
Montpelier and Barre
Montpelier is the smallest state capital in the country, and Barre next door is known for its granite. Both sit just off I-89.
Rutland
Southwestern Vermont on US-7 and US-4, the closest city to Killington.
Brattleboro
The southeast corner on I-91, close to Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Bennington
The southwest corner on US-7, near the New York line.
Middlebury
Middlebury College, on US-7 in the Champlain Valley.
St. Albans
Northwest Vermont on I-89, about 15 miles from the Canadian border.
Stowe
The ski town below Mount Mansfield, about 10 miles up VT-100 from I-89.
Woodstock and Killington
The village green and the ski roads along US-4. Snow and steep drives usually mean a meeting spot.
Vermont’s Long Runs
I-89 and I-91 carry most cars in and out of Vermont, both heading south toward Boston, Hartford and New York. These are the main runs and their distances.
Vermont ↔ Florida
About 1,380 (Burlington–Orlando) milesSouth through New England or New York, then I-95 or I-81 the rest of the way. The snowbird run, south in the fall and home in spring.
Vermont ↔ New York
About 300 (Burlington–New York City) milesDown US-7 through western Vermont, or I-89 and I-91, for New Yorkers with ski houses and weekend places in Vermont.
Vermont ↔ Massachusetts
About 215 (Burlington–Boston) milesSoutheast on I-89 through New Hampshire, then I-93 into Boston.
Vermont ↔ Arizona
About 2,550 (Burlington–Phoenix) milesWest through New York and the Midwest, then I-40 into the desert. A winter option for Vermonters who prefer dry heat to Florida.

Vermont Questions
Can a car carrier get through a covered bridge?
Almost never. Vermont has around a hundred covered bridges, and nearly all are too low, too narrow or too light for a loaded car carrier. If your road crosses one, we’ll meet on the near side or at a lot in town.
When is the easiest time to ship a car in Vermont?
Summer and early fall. In winter, storms and icy mountain roads can push a date back. In spring, as the ground thaws, gravel roads soften and many towns post weight limits, which keeps loaded carriers on paved state roads. Fall foliage weekends bring heavy traffic to the back roads, so a weekday pickup is easier.
Can you deliver to a ski house in Stowe or Killington?
Yes, with a plan. Mountain roads are steep, and in winter many are icy or plowed narrow. We usually meet at a lot in town or near the base area. Route 108 through Smugglers’ Notch is off-limits to tractor-trailers and closes completely in winter, so carriers reach Stowe from I-89 at Waterbury.
I just moved to Vermont. How do I register my car?
Through the Vermont DMV. You’ll need your title, proof of insurance and your ID, and once the car is registered, it needs a Vermont inspection soon after. Check the DMV for the deadline and what to bring.
What does it cost to ship a car to or from Vermont?
Distance, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. A Burlington pickup near I-89 is simpler than a gravel road in March. Get an exact quote or call (424) 453-1800.

Back Roads and Covered Bridges
Plenty of Vermont homes sit on gravel town roads, up steep drives or past a covered bridge, and none of those suit a full-size car carrier. We plan pickups at the nearest paved road or a lot in town, such as a general store or a park-and-ride. Tell us about your road when you book, including any bridges, steep grades or dirt stretches, and we’ll pick the meeting spot together.
Ski Country
Second homes near Stowe, Sugarbush, Killington and Mount Snow bring cars in for the season and out again in spring. Ski roads are steep and winter storms come often, so we usually meet at a lot near the mountain. If you’re shipping something special for the season, ask about enclosed transport, which keeps road salt and slush off the car.
