Best Car Shipping Company in Maine

Shipping a car to or from Maine requires careful coordination due to the state’s rural landscapes, unpredictable weather, and remote locations. From bustling hubs like Portland and Bangor to coastal towns and northern communities, Auto Transport Professionals (ATP) offers dependable vehicle shipping solutions throughout the Pine Tree State.


Top Car Shipping Locations in Maine

  1. Portland: Maine’s largest city and a major shipping hub along I-95, offering easy access to the rest of New England and the East Coast.
  2. Bangor: A key shipping point for central and northern Maine. It is located far up I-95 which limits carrier availability, increasing costs. 
  3. Augusta: The state capital located right on I-95 makes shipping easy and allows for the best rates.
  4. Lewiston and Auburn: Convenient locations near I-95 for easy pickups and deliveries.
  5. Bar Harbor: A popular coastal destination, though its remote location may to the cost to ship a car.

Key Benefits

 

Navigating Maine: Highways and Routes

Maine’s highway network connects major cities to neighboring New England states, but its rural roads and coastal routes often require additional planning for efficient transport.

Key Highways for Auto Transport

  • Interstate 95 (I-95):
    The primary north-south route, connecting Portland, Augusta, and Bangor to states like Massachusetts and New Hampshire. It’s a popular corridor for long-distance and regional shipping.

  • U.S. Route 1:
    Runs along the scenic Maine coastline, serving smaller towns like Bar Harbor and Rockland. While picturesque, this route adds time and fuel costs for carriers.

  • U.S. Route 2:
    Cuts across central and northern Maine, linking Bangor with rural areas and providing access to New Hampshire.

  • State Route 11:
    Extends into northern Maine, serving communities like Presque Isle and Fort Kent, but requires special coordination due to its remoteness.


Challenges of Car Shipping in Maine

  1. Rural and Remote Locations:
    Northern and central Maine towns, such as Millinocket and Caribou, are far from major interstates, making pickups and deliveries more time-consuming and costly.

  2. Coastal Accessibility:
    Scenic coastal routes like U.S. Route 1 are beautiful but narrow roads with many trees overhead are not conditions for car carriers.

  3. Weather Delays:
    Maine’s winters are notorious for heavy snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, especially in areas like Bangor and Aroostook County. These conditions often cause delays.

FAQs About Maine Car Shipping

Shipping a car from Maine to Florida usually takes 3–5 days. Timeframes can vary based on route conditions, weather, and seasonal demand.

Is enclosed auto transport recommended for Maine?
Yes, enclosed transport is ideal for shipping luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles to or from Maine, particularly in winter. Enclosed carriers protect vehicles from snow, ice, and road salt, ensuring they arrive in pristine condition.

The cost of car shipping varies based on:

  • Distance: Longer routes cost more overall but less per mile.
  • Location: Deliveries to major cities like Portland are more affordable than remote areas.
  • Transport Type: Open transport is cheaper, while enclosed transport adds 20–40% for extra protection.
  • Seasonality: Winter weather and snowbird demand during fall, winter and spring can increase rates.

Maine’s rural and forested roads, along with winter snowstorms, can impact auto transport. ATP’s contracted drivers are skilled at navigating these challenges to ensure smooth and reliable delivery.

I’m giving them 4 because no one believes 5-star reviews…but this was a great experience. I received quotes from $500-$1600 to ship my car from Florida to Maine. ATP had no BBB complaints in 3 years…others had horror stories. Yes, they were on the higher end, but worth every penny. No hounding calls or emails…polite, professional, and communicative. The delivery driver went above and beyond on an icy road. I’d absolutely use them again.
