Preparing your vehicle properly before shipping from Florida to New Jersey helps prevent damage and makes the process smoother. Here's what you need to do:

Remove personal items and accessories. Take out anything loose inside your car—phones, chargers, valuables, and fragile items. Remove exterior accessories like roof racks, spoilers, or custom parts that could get damaged or fall off during transit.

Clear out toll passes and documents. Remove toll tags, parking permits, and any sensitive documents from your vehicle. This prevents accidental charges and protects your privacy.

Check your fuel level. Keep your gas tank at a quarter full. This is enough for the carrier to move your vehicle on and off the transport, but not so much that it adds unnecessary weight.

Document your vehicle's condition. Take photos and note any existing damage. This protects you and the carrier by creating a clear record of your car's condition before shipping.

Ensure the vehicle runs. Make sure your car starts and runs properly. Carriers need to be able to move your vehicle on and off the truck safely.

Have a key ready. Provide the carrier with an accessible key so they can move your vehicle as needed during loading and unloading.

Yes, your vehicle is insured during transport from Florida to New Jersey. All carriers in our network are required to carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We verify that each carrier's insurance is valid and active before your shipment begins.

This coverage protects your vehicle during the entire transport process. However, we recommend reviewing your personal auto insurance policy to understand what additional coverage may apply.

When you get a quote from us, insurance is included in the price. No surprises, no hidden fees—just straightforward coverage that gives you peace of mind.

We recommend scheduling your pickup at least two weeks in advance when shipping from Florida to New Jersey. This gives carriers time to find compatible shipments heading the same direction, which can help you get better rates.

The earlier you book, the better. When you post your shipment soon after deciding to ship, you give carriers more flexibility to bundle your vehicle with others traveling the same route. This works in your favor—it means lower costs and more available pickup dates.

That said, life happens. If you need your car shipped sooner, ask about expedited shipping options. We can often accommodate shorter timelines, though you may pay a premium for the faster service.

When shipping a car from Florida to New Jersey, you'll choose between two main transport types: open and enclosed trailers.

Open transport is the most common and affordable option. Your vehicle rides on an open trailer exposed to weather and road debris. It's reliable for most cars and typically costs less than enclosed options.

Enclosed transport shields your vehicle in a covered trailer. Your car stays protected from rain, dirt, and highway debris. This option costs more—often 50% to 100% higher than open transport—but offers peace of mind for valuable vehicles.

Which should you choose? Pick open transport if you have a standard daily driver and want to save money. Choose enclosed transport if you're shipping a classic car, luxury vehicle, or a car with a custom paint job that needs extra protection during the long haul to New Jersey.

Both options get your car safely from Florida to New Jersey. The right choice depends on your vehicle's value and your comfort level with exposure to the elements. Learn more about your shipping options in our How To Ship A Car guide.

Yes, we offer door-to-door car shipping from Florida to New Jersey. This means your vehicle will be picked up from your preferred location in Florida and delivered directly to your chosen address in New Jersey.

When you book with us, we'll ask for your specific pickup and delivery addresses. Our carriers will work to pick up and deliver your car to those exact locations whenever possible. If there are any transportation restrictions or safety concerns—like narrow driveways or low-clearance areas—your carrier will contact you to arrange an alternative nearby location, such as a gas station or parking lot.

Door-to-door service is the most convenient option for most people shipping vehicles across the country. It saves you time and effort compared to terminal-to-terminal shipping, where you'd need to drop off and pick up your car at specific locations.
