According to our estimates, the average cost to ship an auto to or from Maine is around $900-$1200, depending on the distance and other factors. However, the average per mile cost typically comes down to $0.40-$0.1, so the longer the distance, the higher the cost.

Vehicle Registration in Maine
Vehicle Registration When Moving to Maine
Congratulations on your big move! Now, let’s register that car so you can explore this beautiful state. You’ll need to visit your local town office within 30 days of your move with the following:
- Proof of insurance
- Your previous out-of-state registration
- Car title issued by another state if the vehicle is newer than 1995
- If the car is the lien object, bring the address and name of the lienholder
- Yellow and white registration application form duplicates
- Excise tax receipt
- If you paid the due taxes in your old state, you can bring a completed form for use tax to get an exemption from paying sales tax in Maine
- Title application fee paid for the vehicle over the 1995 model
- License plate and registration fees receipt
- You will get a final inspection report after all documents are verified.
Oh, and don’t forget your patience! You’ll need a healthy dose of that to get through the line.
Once you’ve registered your car, you can treat yourself to fresh lobster and a scenic drive along the coast.
Military Vehicle Registration
Next up is military registration. We thank you for your service!
Registering your vehicles in Maine as a military member differs from the civilian process. You’ll need to provide a current military ID, your orders, a document from the Commanding officer to show you’re active on duty, and your out-of-state registration.
It’s always nice to see a member of our armed forces making Maine their home away from home. After your registration is complete, why not celebrate with a hike in Acadia National Park or a visit to the historic Fort Knox?
Vehicle Registration When Purchasing From a Dealership
The registration process is a bit more streamlined if you’re purchasing a vehicle from a dealership. The dealership will typically handle the registration paperwork for you. This means all you need to do is provide proof of insurance and your driver’s license. Easy peasy!
Registration of Vehicle When Purchasing From Private Seller
Last but not least, we have the process of registering a vehicle purchased from a private seller. This process can be a bit trickier, as you’ll need to ensure you have all the necessary paperwork from the seller, including the title and a bill of sale.
Once you have all the required documents, the town office will complete the registration process. Oh, and did we mention that you’ll need to get the vehicle inspected first?
Don’t worry. It’s just a quick safety check to ensure your new wheels are roadworthy. Once you’re all registered, you can hit the road and explore Maine’s picturesque small towns and vibrant cities.
Vehicle Registration Fees in Maine:
| Vehicle Type | Registration Fee |
|---|---|
| Passenger vehicles | $35 |
| Motorcycles | $21 |
| Disability plates | $35 |
| Mopeds | $9 |
| Specialty plates | $20 (first registration) + $15 (at each renewal) |
You may also need to pay a $33 Title Registration fee for cars newer than 1995.

⭐Review From Ricky Butler
“I highly recommend Easy Auto Ship, ask for Christie. She has shipped two cars for my business recently. I called Christie needing 2 classic cars shipped to Maine from Madison, Virginia. Both cars were shipped right away for two different customers. I plan to let Christie know about all my classic car shipping needs from now on. Thank you Christie. Butler Automotive Sales. Madison, Va.”
How We Relocated Multiple Classic Cars for Ricky Butler’s Dealership From Maine to Virginia
Ricky needed to move two classic cars for his business, Butler Automotive Sales, in Madison, Virginia, from Maine. He contacted Easy Auto Ship and was connected with Christie, one of our excellent customer reps. She listened to all of his requirements and booked the shipping. We understand shipping classic cars requires an extreme level of careful handling as these vehicles are fragile, and if damaged, finding their parts can be a big pain. Plus, he needed each car to be shipped to a different customer, so there were two drop-off points. So, we ensured the driver understood the task. Ricky’s vehicles were moved on time, and he was happy with the service.
⭐Review From Latania Rowell-Powell
“They made it happen! Got my don truck delivered to Maine from Chicago. We are happy!”
How We Relocated Latania’s Don Truck from Chicago, Illinois, to Maine
Latania Rowel-Powel contacted us because she wanted her Don Truck moved. The job required a good deal of responsibility and careful handling as these trucks are heavy, and if damaged, the replacements can cost a lot of money. We understood the risks and need for meticulous transportation and picked the best carrier for the job. Our driver arrived to pick up the truck in Chicago, IL, and ensured it was loaded, secured, and delivered to Maine on time.
⭐Review From Jackie
“Overall great experience! I found it cheaper than other places I quoted and it was so easy! We moved west coast to east coast and were so thankful to not have to drive our cars middle of winter. Great driver, great experience! Would recommend.”
How We Hauled Jackie’s Cars From West Coast to East Coast on a Budget:
The key to finding the best carriers with the lowest possible rates is negotiation skills, and that’s what our reps at Easy Auto Ship are best at, resulting in cheap quotes for our clients. When Jackie approached us to move multiple vehicles for her in the dead of winter from Salt Lake, Utah, to Maine, it was a little tough to find a driver with cheap rates because we all know the condition of roads to Maine in the middle of winter. However, we did find an expert carrier who was willing to take one for the team and ensure our customer was satisfied with the rates, service, and professionalism. He completed the route and Jackie was more than happy with the service and glad her family didn’t have to drive all the way.
⭐Review From Jenifer Mcwilliams
“On Wednesday, October 14 I researched the top rated auto shipping company. I made it to MOVE.org & that’s where I found Easy Auto Ship. I immediately called & was connected with Samantha (seriously the sweetest woman). I explain that I needed a truck transported from south Mississippi to Maine. She asked when and I said “like yesterday” 😂 she immediately got on it. She did explain that sometimes it is difficult to find a driver for that route, but ensured me that she would get it done. That was at 5pm on Wednesday. At 9am on Thursday, October 15 I got a call that a driver was selected and he would be here the next morning! He was! The driver picked up from my home on Friday, October 16 at about 11am & delivered the truck at 4pm on Sunday October 18! Needless to say, we had a GREAT experience. I will use Easy Auto Ship every time and will be asking for Samantha! Samantha, if you see this. Thank you so much for going above & beyond for me!”
How We Urgently Transported Jenifer Mcwilliams’ Truck from South Mississippi to Maine
Like many of our customers, Jennifer came to us after she did thorough research on top-rated auto shipping companies and found us recommended by Move.Org. She contacted us immediately and talked to Samantha, one of the top transport agents. She explained the urgency of the move as she had to move her truck from South Mississippi to Maine ’like yesterday’. Being a people-first company, we immediately got onto Jenifer’s case and started finding a capable driver. Although there are not many bookings being done for that route, so it’s a bit difficult to find a carrier, we still managed to find one the very next day. The driver arrived to pick up her truck in South Mississippi the next morning and delivered it to Maine within 48 hours. Jenifer was happy and thankful for such a rapid delivery.
⭐Review From Dan Mills
“Everything unfolded exactly as I was told it would. My truck was picked up on the first day of the 5 day window I was given. I had an Apple airtag in the truck so I was able to watch it’s progress across the country (CA to ME). It nearly caught up with me! (I was driving to Maine in our car, a couple days ahead of the truck.) It was dropped off within the 7-10 business days I was quoted. It was all perfectly “boring” as one would hope for. I can’t say whether the price was great as I didn’t bother shopping around much. It was within my budget and reliability is more important to me. Corey was our broker at Easy Auto Ship.”
How We Moved Dan Mills’ Truck from CA to ME
Dan wanted to move his truck from California to Maine and required someone with expertise in moving trucks, as this job demands careful handling and special load-bearing rigs. Plus, he had a very specific transport timeline, so things were a bit time-sensitive as well. When he contacted Corey at our transport support department, we made sure to find the best possible carrier meeting Dan’s specific requirements. We gave Dan a 5-day pickup window but picked up the truck on day 1. We also allowed Dan to put an Airtag on his truck during the transit so he could track the location in real-time, which made things a lot easier for him. The complete transport from California to Maine (3,200+ miles) took only a little over a week and was pretty smooth, leaving Dan fully satisfied.
