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. There is no seasonal direction adjustment for this route and month.
According to Census migration data, ACS 2024 estimates that 25,095 people now in Connecticut had lived in New York a year earlier (margin of error 4,459). Massachusetts was next at 11,612 (margin of error 2,586), and Florida at 6,040 (margin of error 2,007). These are people, not booked trucks. The plan's city-route file also includes long pairs such as Los Angeles to Hartford. New York to Connecticut is the largest of the state inflows. Car shipping in Connecticut is the state page.
The campus is one site, not the whole enrollment
The college's locations page names a Capital Campus in Hartford, alongside other campuses including Manchester and Gateway. College Navigator reports Fall 2024 enrollment of 36,315 for Connecticut State Community College and lists the institution at 185 Main Street, New Britain. That number is not a count of students shipping a car to Hartford, and this note does not state an out-of-state share. Give the driver the campus address on the order. The college page is Connecticut State Community College.
What does not change the quote
No port or installation in this plan is filed under Hartford. Set a meeting point the truck can use, and agree on it with the driver before pickup day. The college locations page is the campus list. It is not a truck map. Registration for a car that will stay in the state is on registering an out-of-state car in Connecticut.
