New York to New Jersey Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From New York to New Jersey
New York City to Cherry Hill is about 95 miles, straight down the Turnpike. Newark is around 15, Morristown about 35, Princeton close to 55, Huntington to Toms River roughly 110, New York City to Cape May around 160, and Buffalo to Newark about 375. Most cars arrive the day after pickup.
New York to New Jersey moves are usually families heading across the river for more space, job relocations to Princeton and the Turnpike corridor, and summer residents heading to the Shore. It's a short haul, but bridge traffic and city parking take real planning.

The Route
How Cars Get From New York to New Jersey
South Jersey loads cross the Hudson and ride the New Jersey Turnpike south past New Brunswick to Cherry Hill. Princeton is just off Route 1, and Toms River and Cape May are reached on the Garden State Parkway.
North Jersey is just across the bridges and tunnels. Buffalo and Rochester loads come in on I-90, I-390, and I-80 across Pennsylvania.
Along the Way

Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship New York to New Jersey
Bridge traffic and Shore season set the timing.
New York Winter
Nor'easters downstate and lake-effect snow upstate can push a pickup back a day from December through March.
City Traffic
Bridge and tunnel traffic out of the city can add hours. Drivers plan early-morning pickups to beat it.
Shore Summer
Weekend traffic on the Parkway is heavy. Weekday delivery to the Shore is easier.
Fall
Usually the smoothest window.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From New York to New Jersey?
Here's what decides the price on a trip to New Jersey.
Short Haul
Short trips still need a full carrier, so per-mile cost runs higher.
North vs. South Jersey
Newark and Morristown are next door. Cherry Hill and Cape May add 60 to 145 miles.
City Pickup
Manhattan and Brooklyn pickups usually happen at a garage or wide avenue.
Tolls
Bridge, tunnel, Turnpike, and Parkway tolls are built into your quote.
Open or Enclosed
Enclosed keeps a nicer car protected even on a short run.
Lead Time
A few days of notice is usually enough on this lane.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
What we quote is what you pay, with nothing due until a carrier is assigned.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to New Jersey.
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.
Hoboken and Jersey City
Narrow brownstone streets can't fit a carrier. Plan to meet at a lot or on a wider street.
New Jersey Inspection
New Jersey requires an emissions inspection within 14 days of registering a car brought in from out of state.
New York City Pickups
Carriers can't get down most Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens side streets, and double-parking a loaded hauler isn't an option. The driver will meet you at your garage, a lot, or a wide avenue nearby, usually early in the morning to stay ahead of bridge and tunnel traffic.

FAQ
New York to New Jersey Car Shipping FAQs
How long does it take to ship a car from New York to New Jersey?
Usually the day after pickup.
How much does it cost to ship a car from New York to New Jersey?
It depends on your exact addresses, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. Request a quote for a final price, good for 7 days.
Why ship a car just across the river?
It usually only makes sense for a classic car, several cars, or a car that doesn't run. For one daily driver, driving it over is simpler.
Can you deliver to the Jersey Shore in summer?
Yes. A weekday delivery is easier than a Saturday on the Parkway.
Should I ship or drive from New York to New Jersey?
For most moves, driving is simpler. Shipping makes sense for Buffalo or Rochester, several cars, or a car that doesn't run.
Can you ship a car from New Jersey back to New York?
Yes. Request a quote with your New Jersey pickup address and your New York delivery address. It's door-to-door either way.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with is required to carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is documented on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the vehicle aren't covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the rest to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
