Shipping a car in New Jersey
Port Newark and Elizabeth is one of the busiest vehicle ports on the East Coast, and North Jersey is the starting point for a large share of the New York area's moves to Florida. Dense streets in Hudson and Essex counties often mean meeting the truck at a nearby lot.
Main routes: the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95), I-78, I-80, I-287 and I-295.
Cities we serve include Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, Atlantic City and Toms River, plus every other town in New Jersey: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from New Jersey
Peak moving season
June to August is the busiest moving season in North America: school-year moves, new jobs and military transfers all land in summer. Posting early gives you more quotes and more choice of dates.
Moving to New Jersey?
Once the car arrives, register it with the New Jersey MVC. Ask what it needs for a vehicle registered somewhere else (often a VIN check, an inspection or an emissions test) before your old plates or insurance run out.
Shipping across the Canadian border? Only companies that handle cross-border work will quote, and you'll need the ownership or title, ID and a signed authorization letter; permanent imports have extra steps. Each cross-border route page explains the paperwork.
