OPEN car shipping

Open carrier shipping is by far the most common shipping method. Open trailers are both cost effective and efficient, so you won’t be excessively waiting at your new home for your vehicle to arrive. Open trailers leave vehicles exposed to the elements, so if collecting dust and debris from the road is not your preference, you may want to opt for enclosed shipping.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Some vehicles require a little extra care, such as classics, luxury, and high performance varieties. These vehicles often require special handling, such as through hydraulic lifts, as well as extra protections from the elements during transport. Enclosed trailers protect exterior parts and paint from debris, weather and other hazards that might cause damage during transit.

5 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Elizabeth

  • One of your first stops among moving to New Jersey should be to the Department of Motor Vehicles to transfer your license and your vehicle’s title and registration. In New Jersey, you have 60 days to update your license after moving.
  • While most driving laws are consistent across the 50 states, there are some exceptions, and it’s always good to brush up on what you can and cannot do on the roads. For instance, in the Garden State, it is illegal to pump your own gas. Fuel stations have attendants who will handle that for you.
  • In addition to traffic laws, each state has its own requirements when it comes to minimum insurance policies. New Jersey requires all registered vehicles to have liability insurance coverage.
  • New Jersey is home to an impressive toll system. A New Jersey E-Z Pass is helpful if you intend to use tollways frequently to bypass cash lines and keep you on your way. It’s important to remove any toll transponders from your vehicle during shipping to prevent any unnecessary charges.
  • New Jersey can experience a range of weather conditions, including Nor’easters which can bring heavy snow and ice as well as tropical storms which can bring heavy rain and flooding. It’s important to sign up for emergency alerts to be aware of any hazardous conditions that may inhibit travel.

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, Montway has its own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker's policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle (or battery charge between 45 and 65% for EVs) to be sure it can be loaded and unloaded.

With Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase, or bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs.

A simple way to save money on your Elizabeth car shipping is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route, and avoiding seasonal demand.
