OPEN car shipping

If you’re shipping your daily driver, motorcycle, or work truck, chances are open car shipping is the way to go. Open carriers are widely accessible and available, meaning less wait time and costs. Keep in mind open trailers do not cover your vehicle or protect it from road debris, weather, or other conditions it might incur during travel.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed shipping is typically the choice for vehicles with high value or special handling needs. Enclosed trailers protect the vehicle from any hazardous conditions it might see during travel. They also offer hydraulic liftgates and specialized ramps for those vehicles that sit low to the ground, offering safer loading and unloading.

5 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Jersey City

  • Before the carrier arrives to pick up your vehicle, be sure you remove all personal belongings and valuables from your vehicle. Montway allows a box or piece of luggage up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or cargo area.
  • Anytime you move, changing your address is one of the first steps. Your home address is likely listed across more than a handful of accounts, including banking, retirement, and insurance accounts, along with all those online shopping accounts. USPS mail forwarding can help until you are able to update them all.
  • Speaking of change of address, the Department of Motor Vehicles will also be interested in learning your new address to update your driver’s license and vehicle title and registration. Be sure to visit the DMV within 60 days of moving.
  • New Jersey has quite the tollway system, which means no matter where you live or work, you’ll likely want to enroll in the state’s E-ZPass to keep moving.
  • Every state has unique laws and regulations when it comes to motor vehicles. In the state of New Jersey, you should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own fuel at gas stations, and your vehicle is required to pass inspections and emissions testing for registration.

Jersey City car shipping FAQs

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 Jersey City 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.
