Even with the peninsula geography, it’s easy for RunBuggyOne’s transport fleet to get your car to and from the Portland area. I-295 cuts through the heart of the city, connecting the peninsula to the suburbs, while I-95 (The Maine Turnpike) serves as the primary bypass to the west, connecting south to Boston and north to Augusta. US Route 1 provides essential local access along the coast.

How much does it cost to ship a car to and from Portland?
The cost of our Portland car transport depends on a few factors, including distance between the origin and destination, vehicle size, and whether you choose an open or closed transport. However, we give you the price up front when you get a quote from us, so you don’t get any surprises in pricing throughout the entire process.
How long does Portland car shipping take?
The shipping period varies with each delivery due to multiple factors, such as the overall distance, seasonality, and the scheduling of other vehicle pickups by the same driver. If you have larger or oversized vehicles, the delivery might take longer due to the specialized truck needed to accommodate the size of the vehicle. Adverse weather conditions, particularly Nor’easters and heavy snow in the winter, can significantly slow down travel times in addition to seasonality. Heavy tourist traffic on Route 1 and I-295 during the summer months can also impact the shipping time. However, you can easily track the progress of your car shipment on your phone or desktop. We also send automated updates to show the progress of the delivery.
FAQs on Portland Car Shipping with RunBuggyOne
How far in advance can I schedule my Portland car shipping?
You can lock in your rate up to 30 days from the pickup date. Once you confirm the order, it takes our team three to five days to find a driver who will ship your car to your final destination. Make sure that you account for the search period before leaving or moving other necessities.
Should I go with an open or enclosed carrier?
The answer depends on the budget and the level of car needed for the car. If you simply need to ship a car to or from Portland as soon as possible, we recommend going with our open carrier shipping, which is convenient, flexible, and reliable. If you’re shipping a high-end luxury vehicle or a prized possession, spending more on enclosed car shipping is the better option, as it provides shelter from the elements during transit, and we can work with you to provide customized transportation solutions with enclosed shipping.
What is the Bill of Lading, and is it required for shipping?
The Bill of Lading is vital to our car shipping services. This is a document used by the shipping company as part of the initial inspection of your vehicle before it gets loaded onto a truck, as it notes any possible damage to the vehicle before shipping. Once the car gets delivered to your destination, you will need to sign the Bill of Lading if you inspect your car and find no other parts of the vehicle damaged during transit. If you do believe the car did get damaged during the delivery, send an email to support@runbuggyone.com to make a Damage Complaint.
