New Jersey Pricing
Data updated: September 2026

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car to or from New Jersey?

As of September 2026, the average cost to ship a car to or from New Jersey is about $918, with shipments typically running $225–$1,900 depending on the corridor, vehicle, and season. Open auto transport is the standard choice; enclosed transport adds weather and debris protection for about 50% more.

What Factors Affect the Cost to Ship a Car?

Distance sets the baseline: the average corridor from New Jersey runs about 1,396 miles, and longer lanes cost more in total while costing less per mile. From there, vehicle size and weight, open versus enclosed carrier, exact pickup and delivery locations, fuel prices, and above all season and timing move the number. For the full breakdown, see our car shipping cost calculator.

When to Ship: New Jersey Demand by Season

New Jersey shipping follows the snowbird calendar: southbound demand builds through late summer, peaks from early fall into the holidays, and is quietest in spring when the seasonal flow runs north.

On-the-Ground Logistics

Pickup and Delivery Across New Jersey

Most handoffs are straightforward door-to-door pickups. The exceptions, we handle routinely.

The Hudson waterfront

Hoboken, Jersey City, and the cliffside towns run on permit parking and tight one-ways — drivers coordinate a wide cross street or a lot nearby, exactly like the city across the river. Everywhere west of the Palisades opens up fast.

The Turnpike, not the Parkway

Commercial carriers are banned from the Garden State Parkway north of Exit 105, so trucks run the Turnpike and I-287 instead. It changes the meeting point in a few Shore and Bergen neighborhoods — the driver arranges it on the day.

Shore summers

Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, barrier-island streets fill with beach traffic and summer parking rules. Drivers meet on the mainland side or the main drag — a routine handoff, planned around the weekend crush.

55+ communities

Central Jersey’s adult communities — Lakewood, Toms River, Monroe — ship more seasonal cars than anywhere else in the state. Have the gate code or guard desk ready, or the driver meets you at the community entrance.

Types of Car Shipping Services in New Jersey

Wondering about open vs. enclosed car shipping or terminal-to-terminal vs. door-to-door car shipping? RoadRunner offers all the major auto transport options to provide customized service for any situation and budget when shipping to or from New Jersey:

Open Car Transport

Open transport car shipping is the most common and affordable transport method, with your car or truck loaded on a multi-vehicle open carrier truck. Vehicles are secured on specialized double-decker auto haulers. Open transport does expose the vehicle to elements, however, RoadRunner thoroughly vets carriers to ensure only high-quality equipment is used so your car is well protected during transit. This works well for most everyday vehicles.

Enclosed Car Shipping

For exotic, classic, vintage, high-end, or delicate vehicles, enclosed auto transport with a container truck is recommended. Your car is loaded inside a covered trailer shielded from weather and road debris during transit. Enclosed shipping provides maximum protection for valuable vehicles but costs more than open transport. If your vehicle requires specialized handling, enclosed is the best option.

Expedited Car Transport

If you need a time-sensitive vehicle delivery with guaranteed faster transit time, expedited auto shipping is arranged by securing express hauling lanes and team driving to minimize stops. Expedited car transport can reduce estimated shipping time compared to standard delivery. It costs more than regular car shipping rates but is an ideal option when you need a rushed delivery to meet a specific deadline.

RoadRunner has extensive experience with all types of auto transport methods, including car shipping terminal to terminal. Our shipping specialists will guide you on selecting the right car shipping service to or from New Jersey based on your unique needs.

Saving on New Jersey Car Shipping

RoadRunner offers various discounts and promotions to reduce the cost of shipping your car to or from New Jersey:

  • Seasonal discounts during warmer months when demand is lower
  • Customer loyalty discounts for return shipping
  • Student discounts for moving vehicles to/from college
  • Military discounts for armed forces members
  • Bundling multiple car transport for volume discounts

Tips for Saving on New Jersey Auto Shipping

  • Compare quotes from multiple companies before booking
  • Be flexible with pickup and delivery dates when possible
  • Choose open transport unless vehicle requires enclosed
  • Avoid shipping from June to August when rates peak
  • Ask about current promotions when getting a quote
  • Pay upfront for lowest locked-in long distance pricing
  • Book 2-3 weeks in advance when timing allows

Finding the best rate is possible with RoadRunner's discounts and affordable pricing!
