Moving Firms
- Brokers v. Carriers - There are two main types of companies that you’ll encounter when looking for an auto shipper: brokers and carriers. Brokers act as middlemen in the industry, putting customers in touch with a mover that provides the service they need. Using a broker is a good way to deal with one company and have them do the dirty work of contacting haulers to find the best deal and appropriate method. Carriers are the businesses that do the physical moving of your vehicle. The advantage of dealing with a carrier directly is that you can assess the level of service they provide before committing to anything, and it’s usually easier to get your questions answered. Dealing with a broker can be beneficial if you don’t have time to contact several different carriers to compare them.

- Discount Programs - Many companies in the industry have generous discount programs that can help you reduce the fees. You may even qualify for some of them automatically, such as discounts for online booking, first-time movers, or scheduling a round-trip shipment. Some other popular discount programs are for students, seniors, members of the military, AAA card holders, snowbirds, and bulk shipments. Discount programs are not always advertised so be sure to ask when you start contacting haulers. You can view a listing of our discount programs at A1-AT here.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an East Orange car shipping company typically cost?
East Orange car shipping usually costs $400–$1,000 for regional moves and $900–$1,400 for cross-country routes. Pricing is driven by distance, vehicle size, open vs enclosed carriers, and seasonal demand. East Orange’s proximity to major highways like I-280 and the Garden State Parkway often helps keep rates competitive. For broader state pricing context, see our New Jersey car shipping guide.
How long does it take to ship a car to or from East Orange, NJ?
Most East Orange car shipments are delivered within 2–7 days. Northeast regional routes often arrive in 1–3 days, while coast-to-coast shipments take 5–7 days. Transit time depends on route distance, carrier availability, traffic congestion, and winter weather, which can affect pickup windows in Essex County during peak months.
Do East Orange car shipping companies offer door-to-door service?
Yes, door-to-door service is standard for East Orange car shipping. The carrier picks up and delivers as close to your address as safely possible, adjusting for narrow streets, parking restrictions, or local ordinances. If direct access is limited, a nearby meeting point is arranged. Learn more about how door-to-door auto transport works in urban New Jersey areas.
Is enclosed car shipping available in East Orange, NJ?
Enclosed transport is available and recommended for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles. It costs about 30–60% more than open transport but provides protection from road debris, weather, and salt exposure, which matters during New Jersey winters. Enclosed carriers are commonly used for dealer purchases and collector vehicles. Details are outlined on our enclosed auto transport page.
How should I prepare my car for shipping in East Orange?
Prepare your vehicle by cleaning it, removing personal items, checking fluid levels, and ensuring the battery is charged. Leave about a quarter tank of fuel and document existing condition with photos at pickup. East Orange’s dense residential areas make clear access and flexible pickup timing especially important to avoid delays.
Can I track my vehicle while it’s being shipped from East Orange?
Most shipments include tracking updates once the vehicle is picked up. Updates may be provided via carrier check-ins, dispatch notifications, or online tracking tools, depending on the route and carrier. Tracking accuracy improves on longer interstate routes with scheduled checkpoints. You can review how shipment updates work using our car shipping tracker.
