OPEN car shipping

If you’re looking for the most cost effective and efficient way to ship your vehicle to or from Paterson, an open trailer is your best option. Open trailers are widely available making last-minute transportation a breeze. Keep in mind, your vehicle is uncovered in an open trailer so it may arrive with dust or road debris from its journey.

ENCLOSED car shipping

For the most protection, you’ll want to consider enclosed shipping. Enclosed trailers provide coverage, protecting vehicles from road debris, weather and other elements that might cause damage. If your vehicle requires hydraulic lifts or special ramps for loading and unloading, enclosed shipping is likely the choice for your vehicle.

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

  • Anytime you move to a new city, you should sign up for emergency alerts immediately to ensure you are aware of any inclement weather or public safety hazards.
  • Once you move to New Jersey, you have 60 days to transfer your driver’s license and vehicle’s registration. Be sure you bring the appropriate documents and sign up for an appointment online to avoid long wait times.
  • Self-service gas stations are the norm across the country, but in New Jersey that’s not allowed. New Jersey requires fuel stations to have attendants, and it’s against the law to pump your own gas.
  • Paterson is home to one national park: Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park. Check online to see if the overlook is closed due to snow and ice before planning your trip to the historic site.
  • New Jersey experiences snow and ice at times during the winter months. Be sure to equip your vehicle with the appropriate emergency equipment, like a battery jump starter and air compressor, as well as some cold weather essentials like gloves and blankets.

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 Paterson 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.
