As of 2026-11-09. RideShipper estimate, updated 2026-11-09, based on 3,588 prices that customers reported paying in MoveAdvisor reviews, adjusted for U.S. diesel at $6.13 a gallon for that week (U.S. Energy Information Administration). In testing, the typical difference between an estimate and a reported price was about 20% of the estimate. This is an estimate, not a quote: the carrier sets the price. No pickup date was supplied, so this estimate uses November 2026. Reported prices on seasonal routes to and from Florida and Arizona support different prices in each direction this month.

Checked facts

Busiest lanes

According to Census ACS 2024, the largest estimates of people now in Connecticut who lived in another state a year earlier are New York, 25,095 (margin of error 4,459); Massachusetts, 11,612 (margin of error 2,586); and Florida, 6,040 (margin of error 2,007). The largest outbound flows go to New York, Massachusetts, and Florida. The route list marks the Florida pair as a snowbird lane in both directions. That winter demand is the ACS count, not a separate snowbird census. New York to Connecticut is the busiest inbound pair. Connecticut to Florida is a long truck lane compared with the New York hop.

Parkways a carrier cannot use

CTDOT limits the Merritt Parkway (Route 15 from the New York line in Greenwich to Exit 54 in Milford), the Wilbur Cross Parkway (Route 15 on to the I-91 overpass in Meriden), and the Milford Parkway. A vehicle more than 8 feet tall, 24 feet long, or 7 feet 6 inches wide, not counting mirrors, cannot use them. Box trucks and tractor-trailers are not allowed, and all trailers are prohibited. A car-carrier trailer fails those limits. Meet on a road that allows the truck. Exemptions are for public necessity, such as road work, not a private car shipment.

Base, campuses, and registration

Naval Submarine Base New London is the installation in this list. Inside the contiguous United States, Military OneSource says a privately owned vehicle is largely the member's responsibility to move. Campuses with many out-of-state students include Yale in New Haven, the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Fairfield University, and Sacred Heart. Agree a stop the truck can reach. You have 90 days after you establish residency to transfer an out-of-state registration. The same 90 days applies to a vehicle bought in another state. An emissions test applies if the vehicle is older than four model years. Vehicles exempt from emissions need a VIN verification at an emissions center. Out-of-state smog results are not described as a substitute. See the registration page.
