Nantucket/Hyannis Unaccompanied Vehicle Drive-On/Drive-Off Service
Note: Drive-on/Drive-Off services will resume as of May 19, 2021.
Unaccompanied Vehicle Drive-On/Drive-Off service is available to non-commercial vehicles with a length of twenty feet or less traveling between Hyannis and Nantucket.
The vehicle’s registration must be for the vehicle traveling and issued to the customer named on the vehicle registration. Vehicles may be dropped off for shipping at the Hyannis Terminal, provided staging space is available. On Nantucket, vehicles may be dropped off at the terminal 1 hour in advance of a reservation. The customer must have a signed Release and Indemnification Agreement on file with us. This form may be obtained at either the Hyannis or Nantucket Terminal or online here. Please note customers that are using rental cars or trucks will not be eligible for this service.
During the months of July and August, customers whose vehicles are traveling on regular fares may not drop off their vehicles at the Hyannis terminal more than two calendar days in advance of their vehicle reservation. As a result, a customer arriving with his or her vehicle at the Hyannis terminal during those months without a reservation will not be allowed to drop off the vehicle unless the terminal agent determines that it will be able to be shipped to Nantucket within 24 hours.
Please note that a fee is charged each time one of our employees drives your vehicle on or off a vessel.
Additional requirements are in place due to COVID-19. Please visit steamshipauthority.com/2019coronavirus for updates.
