New Brunswick, NJ Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from New Brunswick, NJ is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

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

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

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

Remove accessories: Take off bike racks, roof boxes, spoilers, or any loose exterior parts that could fall off during transport.

Provide a working key: Give the driver a spare key. They’ll need it to load and unload your vehicle.

Document existing damage: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. This protects you if any issues arise.

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.

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 transport is the most common and affordable option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs significantly less.

Enclosed transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your car from weather, dust, and road debris. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most New Brunswick residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works perfectly fine. Choose enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value you can’t replace. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.
