Colorado to New Jersey Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Colorado to New Jersey
Denver to Newark is about 1,785 miles, east on I-70 and across Pennsylvania on the Turnpike and I-78. South Jersey around Cherry Hill is a bit closer. It's four days of driving.
Many of the cars we ship on this route belong to people taking jobs in finance, pharma, and tech in North and Central Jersey, often with a commute into New York City. We also ship for airmen and soldiers moving to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, engineers heading to Picatinny Arsenal, students at Princeton and Rutgers, and families moving back East to be near relatives.

The Route
How Cars Get From Colorado to New Jersey
Most carriers run I-70 through Kansas City, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Columbus, then take the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) east. North Jersey loads switch to I-78 at Harrisburg, and South Jersey loads cross into Cherry Hill from Philadelphia.
The bases at Wrightstown are off the Turnpike near Trenton. The Shore is reached on the Garden State Parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway. Hudson County and the cities near New York are the tightest deliveries and usually need a meeting spot.

Timing
When to Ship Colorado to New Jersey
Military moves and Northeast weather shape this route.
Summer PCS Season
Summer is the busiest time for McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst moves. Book as soon as you have orders.
Shore Season
Memorial Day through Labor Day fills the Shore towns. Weekday deliveries there go much smoother.
Winter
Blizzards on eastern Colorado's I-70 and snow in Pennsylvania can slow trucks from December through March.
Spring & Fall
Usually the smoothest time to ship.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Colorado to New Jersey?
Here's what moves the price between Colorado and New Jersey.
Distance
South Jersey is about 1,720 miles from Denver. North Jersey is closer to 1,800.
City vs. Suburb
Suburban driveways are simple. Jersey City, Hoboken, and Newark streets usually need a meeting spot.
Season
Summer is the busiest time. Fall and winter are often cheaper.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps hail and road salt off a nicer car.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window lets us combine your car with other Northeast stops.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
Turnpike tolls are already built in. Your quote is your final price, with $0 due at booking.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few New Jersey-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in New Jersey
New residents have 60 days to title and register with the NJ MVC. Most cars need an emissions inspection every two years. Check nj.gov/mvc for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for airmen, soldiers, sailors, and families moving from Colorado bases to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and Picatinny Arsenal.
City Deliveries
Narrow streets and permit parking in Hudson County make door-to-door tricky. The driver will set up a nearby lot or wider street.
Colorado Pickups
Tight streets in central Denver and steep, narrow roads in mountain towns can keep a carrier off your block. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, often a lot just off the highway.
