Maryland to New Jersey Auto Transport

Most Maryland to New Jersey shipments fall in the $500–$900 range for a standard sedan on an open carrier. Costs shift with distance, vehicle type, seasonal demand, and whether you choose open or enclosed shipping. Moves along I-95 frequently price on the lower end because carriers run the corridor daily. Adding flexibility on pickup windows and meeting the carrier at accessible locations can also improve pricing. For a deeper breakdown of price variables, see our car shipping cost guide.

Transit times are typically 1–3 days, since the states border each other and carriers frequently operate between Baltimore, Philadelphia, and North Jersey. Timeframes may extend slightly during peak congestion seasons or when shipping from rural Maryland. Same-day or next-day pickup can be possible when carriers already have trucks on the I-95 route.

Yes. Most carriers require the fuel level at one-quarter or less, removal of personal items, a quick mechanical check, and photographs for documentation. Clean vehicles help with accurate condition reporting, and folding mirrors or disabling aftermarket alarms reduces loading issues. These steps improve carrier efficiency on short routes where multiple pickups occur in one day.

If you are moving to New Jersey, you must transfer title and registration within 60 days, and proof of liability insurance is mandatory before registering. While auto transport itself has no inspection requirement, the state may require an emissions or safety inspection depending on your vehicle type and county. Planning this ahead helps avoid delays after delivery. For general guidance on domestic moves, review our car transportation services.

Enclosed carriers cost 30–60 percent more, but they offer enhanced protection for high-value, luxury, restored, or collectible vehicles. Short-route enclosed service is common for clients moving exotic cars to North Jersey dealerships or coastal areas. Enclosed trailers also reduce road-grime exposure during winter weather along I-95. See how this option works in our enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes, but your carrier must know in advance so they can dispatch a truck equipped with winches or specialized loading tools. Inoperable vehicles add a modest fee because they require extra time and equipment at both pickup and delivery. Clear access for the carrier—especially in tight Maryland neighborhoods or New Jersey urban zones—helps prevent delays.
