Rhode Island Auto Transport

Rhode Island is a small state in the Northeast. In fact, in terms of its land mass it is the smallest state in the country. In terms of its population, it ranks 44th in the country right behind our home state of Montana. Because of its size, there aren't a lot of vehicles being shipped to or from Rhode Island, especially compared to the other states near it such as Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey.

Given its location and unique geography, there are only two friendly car shipping locations when you ship a car to or from Rhode Island. Let's start with the obvious, that being Providence, the capital city of Rhode Island. It is the largest city in the state and is served by three primary trucking corridors, I-95, I-295, and I-195. Providence, RI is by far the best car shipping location in the state.

With Rhode Island sandwiched between Massachusetts and Connecticut, we find that most carriers we work with that serve this area of the Northeast are driving through Rhode Island on their way to or from Boston, MA so anywhere along I-295 and I-95 are good car shipping locations.

We mentioned Rhode Island's unique geography. If you look at the map of the state what do you see primarily in southeast Rhode Island? A lot of water, a large coastline, and a handful of islands! All these present challenges for a car carrier. Any location in this area of the state is going to be the most difficult and most expensive to ship a car to or from.

Other areas of the state that can sometimes be challenging include Western and Northwestern Rhode Island because those areas lack interstates and aren't common areas car carriers are traveling through in the Northeast.
