Pittsburgh to Cambridge is listed at $451–$644. Philadelphia is also a pickup city on this lane; because the data above are for Pittsburgh, ask for a quote from your own Philadelphia or other Pennsylvania address rather than assuming a number.

Our pages list 10 routes between the two states, and five of them are priced. Those five all start in Pittsburgh, so pricing for pickups elsewhere in Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia, comes from the quote itself. Massachusetts destinations beyond the five shown can be priced the same way.

How Long Does It Take to Ship a Car from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts?

The time on the truck from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts is 1–2 days. Each Pittsburgh example above, from Springfield to Lowell, carries that same window. Before the ride begins, the pickup step takes about 1–3 business days after booking.

  • Pickup details. Tell us if you load at a home, a dealership or a storage lot; it helps the driver plan.
  • Delivery in the Boston area. Dense neighborhoods in Boston and Cambridge may require meeting the driver on a wider street or in a parking lot.
  • Weather. Winter snow in New England can delay arrivals.

If a full-size car hauler cannot get down your street, the driver may ask you to meet at a larger parking lot nearby. This does not change the price. Tell us at booking whether the car starts at a home, a dealership or a storage lot, and whether it runs.

Pickup is usually scheduled within a 1–3 business day window after booking; transit then takes about 1 to 2 days.

Shipping a Car from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts: Route Notes

Out of Pennsylvania, a car bound for Massachusetts travels east on interstates through New York and, depending on the pickup city, Connecticut. For eastern Massachusetts the final stretch is typically the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90), which serves Springfield, Worcester and Boston; Cambridge and Lowell are reached from the Boston side.

Springfield is the first major Massachusetts city on this approach from the west, so drivers delivering there finish earlier than those continuing to the Boston area.

Snow from December can slow the last miles, and booking with a flexible pickup window gives you the best chance of a smooth schedule.

Boston, Cambridge and Lowell are all in the greater Boston area, so a quote request for any of them uses your exact delivery address. Pittsburgh to Cambridge (570 miles) is listed at $451–$644 and Pittsburgh to Lowell (580 miles) at $459–$655, both with 1–2 days of transit.

Open vs Enclosed Car Shipping from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts

Most Pennsylvania to Massachusetts shipments go by open carrier. If you are sending a collector car, a recent luxury model or a vehicle you want shielded from New England winter conditions, enclosed transport is the alternative; compare the two quotes before you decide.

Enclosed trucks are fewer than open ones, so mention that preference early in your booking.

Customer Testimonials

“I contacted Freedom Auto Transport under short notice and they delivered. Got my vehicle picked up in Dallas, TX the same day, it took about 3 days to get delivered. Driver contacted me prior to arrival on both ends and was very friendly. Very easy to do business with. Thanks again.”

“I wanted to share my experience dealing with Freedom Auto Transport. Could not have gone any smoother. Called up Tuesday morning, had my vehicle picked up and on a trailer the very next day! Wow! Everyone I spoke to at Freedom was extremely helpful and friendly. Very pleased with my experience and would 10000% recommend Freedom to anyone that needs auto transport service. Thanks again..”
Darlene Robertson
“Freedom was great, Dan S. with Freedom was the only carrier who could deliver on the dates I needed. I contacted several transporters, the prices and dates changed every 5 minutes. Dan was very helpful every step of the way, and extremely reasonable! I will use these guys from this point forward, make one call and it’s a done deal! Thanks Dan!”
Guy Hawkins
Freedom Auto Transport runs a solid operation. Dorian is the reason I chose this carrier even though I had all but agreed to work with a different hauler. He was fast to return my calls, texted frequently, and used all his contacts to arrange a quick turnaround on the 4Runner I shipped. He almost managed to get a same day pick-up but the dealership I was working with couldn’t complete the paperwork in time for an evening pick up. Easy paperwork/signatures. No heavy sales pitch. Just familiarity with how the industry works, good relationships to leverage, and the urgency to help. I think he really feels good knowing he’s helping to deliver something meaningful to others. Ive used different companies each time I’ve shipped a vehicle but the next time I need a car or truck shipped, I want to work with Dorian. Cheers!
