New York is one of the highest volume auto transport markets in the country. We move cars in and out of the metro constantly. The challenge here is not finding a carrier. It is navigating the logistics. The metro has three major vehicle import terminals through Port Newark and Port Elizabeth in New Jersey, and there are large Manheim and ADESA auction locations that keep carrier traffic flowing through the area year round. Dealership density is extremely high across the five boroughs and into Long Island, Westchester, and New Jersey. Volume is not the problem. Access is.
Pickups in New York typically happen within 2 to 4 days. But here is what most people do not know. Carriers prefer to pick up from suburbs and outer areas rather than deep inside Manhattan or Brooklyn. If your car is in the city you should expect to coordinate a meetup at a nearby parking lot or side street. Carriers simply cannot maneuver a multi-car hauler through midtown. If you are in Queens, Long Island, New Jersey, or Westchester, pickups are much smoother and usually faster. Let us know where the car is when you get your quote and we will tell you exactly what to expect.
Seattle is a solid auto transport market with a geographic reality that matters. It is in the top left corner of the continental US. That means carriers heading here are usually at the end of a run and need to turn around and head back south or east. The Port of Seattle handles vehicle imports and Manheim has a location in the area. The dealer market across Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, and the surrounding suburbs is healthy. I-5 is the main artery connecting Seattle to Portland and LA to the south, and I-90 is the primary eastern route heading toward Spokane and eventually the Midwest. It is an active market, just not quite the crossroads that cities further south and east enjoy.
Delivering to Seattle is active on the I-5 southbound to northbound return runs. Carriers who just dropped cars in Portland often pick up in Seattle before heading south again. Delivery from California is frequent and well serviced. Coming in from the east on I-90 takes a bit more coordination but it gets done regularly. Plan for 3 to 5 days on most routes.
Shipping a standard sedan from New York to Seattle on open carrier currently estimates between $1500 and $1800. That is based on the 2,931-mile distance and current market conditions.
New York is not cheap. Prices run 10 to 20 percent above the national average. Part of that is the access premium because carriers deal with tolls, traffic, and tight streets. Part of it is just demand. There is enormous competition for slots on cars moving to and from New York. Winter can slow things down slightly when carriers prefer warmer routes, and summer sees elevated demand from people relocating. But overall this is a year round active market.

Seattle runs slightly above the national average. The corner positioning means carriers are not passing through on their way somewhere else, they are specifically routing to or from the Pacific Northwest. That adds a small premium versus interior cities. The I-5 corridor to and from California is the most competitive lane. Routes to the Midwest run longer and slightly higher in cost because of the distance and mountain crossings. Get a quote for your specific route.
