## How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car from NYC?
- **Regional Northeast / Mid-Atlantic:** $300 – $470 (Same day – 1 day)
- **Southeast / Midwest / Florida:** $500 – $900 (2 – 5 days)
- **Cross-Country (West Coast / California):** $1,150 – $1,600 (6 – 8 days)

## Why NYC Shipping Works Differently
1. **Manhattan Streets:** Narrow one-way streets and double parking prevent 80-ft carrier entry.
2. **Parkway Commercial Bans:** Parkway overpasses as low as 6'11" prohibit commercial auto haulers.
3. **Staging Areas & Terminals:** Drivers meet customers in northern NJ, Long Island, or wide commercial avenues in Queens and Brooklyn.
4. **Winter Weather:** Lake-effect snow on I-87 and I-90 requires flexible scheduling from December to March.

## NYC Pickup Tips
- Keep your phone ready for driver staging coordination calls or texts.
- Expect to meet at nearby staging areas if shipping to/from Manhattan.
- True door-to-door delivery is standard for Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, and Albany.
