Tinton Falls, NJ Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Tinton Falls, NJ is simple when you follow these key steps. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile items that could shift during transport. Next, clean your vehicle inside and out so you can easily spot any damage during the pre-transport inspection.

Make sure your car has no more than a quarter tank of gas to reduce weight and meet safety requirements. Remove or secure any loose exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antenna toppers that could be damaged. Don’t forget to provide a working key to the carrier and ensure your battery is charged so the vehicle can be moved on and off the truck.

Finally, take photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup. This documentation will help if you need to file any damage claims. For a complete checklist, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page for detailed preparation guidelines.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Tinton Falls, NJ. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry minimum insurance coverage of $1,000,000 in liability and $100,000 in cargo protection.

Before your Tinton Falls car shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. This protects your vehicle during the entire transport process from pickup to delivery.

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

Important: While our carriers provide comprehensive coverage, we recommend reviewing your personal auto insurance policy. Some policies may have gaps during transport that you’ll want to understand before shipping from Tinton Falls.

We recommend scheduling your car pickup from Tinton Falls, NJ at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and preferred pickup dates.

Here’s why booking early helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can group your car with other vehicles heading to the same area
• More flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from
• Less stress: No last-minute rush to find available transport

Tinton Falls is well-connected to major highways like Route 35 and the Garden State Parkway, making it accessible for carriers. However, peak moving seasons (summer months and early fall) fill up faster, so consider booking even earlier during these busy times.

Need to ship on short notice? We can often accommodate rush orders within 3-7 days, though this may cost more and limit your carrier options.

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

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. This shields it from weather, dust, and road debris. It costs about 50% more than open transport.

Choose enclosed transport if you have a:

• Classic or vintage car
• Luxury vehicle
• Custom paint job
• High-value sports car

Most people shipping from Tinton Falls choose open transport. It’s reliable and much cheaper. Only pick enclosed if your car needs extra protection. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details.
