Fort Lee, NJ Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Fort Lee, NJ is simple but important. Follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes like E-ZPass, GPS devices, and any fragile items. Carriers are not responsible for personal property.

Clean your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure your battery is charged.

Remove loose parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or anything that might fall off during transport.

Have keys ready: Provide one set of working keys to the driver. Keep a spare for yourself.

Document everything: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Fort Lee, NJ with Sherpa Auto Transport.

Every carrier in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We verify each carrier’s insurance is active and valid before your Fort Lee pickup.

For added protection, all our carriers list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage throughout your entire shipment.

Your vehicle is protected from the moment it’s loaded in Fort Lee until it reaches your destination. We provide insurance details before pickup so you have complete peace of mind.

We recommend booking your car shipping service from Fort Lee, NJ at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and your preferred pickup dates.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and bundle multiple vehicles
• More flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rush fees and limited availability

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping options with as little as 2-3 days notice. However, this typically costs more than standard scheduling.

Pro tip: Fort Lee’s location near major highways makes it easier for carriers to access, but booking early still ensures the smoothest experience for your car shipment.

No payment is due at the time of booking. We do require a payment method on file so that it is available to charge once a carrier is secured. We accept all major debit and credit cards, including Mastercard, Visa, Discover and American Express. The most convenient option is to pay for your shipment in full by credit card at the time a carrier is secured.

We also allow you to pay for your Initial Payment via credit or debit card and then pay the outstanding balance on delivery day via cash or a certified check made out to the carrier.

Your Sherpa shipment includes up to 100 lbs of personal items or household goods stored in the trunk area or secured below the window line. If you are shipping to or from a port or your shipment includes ocean transit, your vehicle must be emptied of all items. Sherpa and your assigned carrier cannot be responsible for personal items left inside the vehicle. See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details.

Yes. It is important that you, or another adult that you trust, is there for pickup and delivery of your vehicle. This designated person plays an important role in the shipping process including documenting the state of the vehicle and signing the Bill of Lading, which acts as a receipt of the vehicle’s condition.

Open auto transport uses open trailers that expose your car to weather and road debris. It’s the most popular choice because it costs less and works well for everyday vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. This shields it from rain, snow, dirt, and flying rocks. It costs about 50% more than open transport.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• A luxury or exotic car
• A classic or vintage vehicle
• A car with custom paint or modifications
• A vehicle worth over $50,000

Choose open transport for regular daily drivers and most used cars. It’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly.

Both options are fully insured. For Fort Lee residents shipping valuable vehicles, enclosed transport gives extra peace of mind during long-distance moves. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for more details.
