Indianapolis to New York
Auto Transport
A weekly lane, carrier first — enclosed and open.
Velocity Logistics ships cars between Indianapolis and New York, NY every week — about 715 miles, typically 1–2 days in transit, door to door in both directions. Open transport usually runs about $700–$1,100 per car, and enclosed typically adds 30–50%. Cars ride on a Velocity truck when the schedule allows, otherwise with a vetted partner carrier disclosed before pickup.
Indianapolis to New York runs weekly in both directions — New York back to Indianapolis on the same schedule. We run it carrier first — on a Velocity truck whenever our schedule allows, otherwise with a vetted partner carrier we tell you about before pickup — and either way you deal with one Velocity dispatcher the whole way.
Route facts
Door to door, both ways — New York to Indianapolis on the sameweekly schedule, via I-70 and I-80. Prices are typical all-in ranges for one standard car on an open carrier; enclosed usually adds 30–50%, and your written quote is the final number. Pickup windows confirmed by dispatch, usually within a day or two of booking.
Before you book
Know who's actually hauling your car.
Most car shipping companies you find online are national brokers: they sell the move, then post it for a carrier to pick up. Velocity runs its own trucks out of Indianapolis. Here's how booking with us compares.
| Topic | Velocity Logistics | Typical national broker |
|---|---|---|
| Who hauls your car | Our own trucks and drivers on our core routes. Anywhere else, a vetted partner carrier arranged through our licensed broker partner, and we tell you which before pickup. | Your order is posted to a load board for any carrier to accept. You often don't know who's coming until pickup day. |
| Your price | One written, all-in quote from dispatch, usually within minutes during business hours. | Often a low estimate to win the booking, which can rise if no truck accepts it. |
| Who you talk to | The dispatch team that schedules the truck, in Indianapolis — (317) 934-4366. | A sales team that hands your order off to a carrier you've never spoken to. |
| Condition records | Photo inspection at pickup and delivery, plus a digital bill of lading. | Whatever the carrier that accepts the load happens to provide. |
| Licensing you can check | Motor carrier authority: USDOT 4494211, MC 1777008. | Broker authority only — no trucks of their own. |
Brokers aren't bad. When our trucks can't cover a route, we arrange the move through a licensed broker partner with vetted carriers. The difference is you always know who's hauling your car before it leaves.

Enclosed vs. open
Which service fits this lane?
Open transport is the economical everyday option on the Indy–New York lane. Enclosed transport typically runs 30–50% more and makes sense for luxury, classic, and exotic vehicles you want shielded from weather and debris on the ~715-mile run via I-70 and I-80. Dispatch will help you decide.
