What Is the Lowest Priced Option to Ship?
"Open auto transport" refers to vehicle conveyance that occurs either "out in the open" or in a multi-car trailer without an exterior covering. Open car shipping is far less expensive than enclosed car relocating since multiple cars may be carried simultaneously.
Enclosed auto transportation transports vehicles that require extra protection within a trailer. Open trailers may handle more automobiles than enclosed trailers. Enclosed auto transport carriers are more expensive than open carriers, making them less common among consumers unless they own high-end vehicles requiring extra security.

Frequently Asked Questions
How early should I book Michigan to New Jersey auto transport?
Booking 7 to 14 days ahead is ideal because carriers running the Midwest-to-Northeast corridor fill quickly, especially during winter storms around Detroit or peak summer demand. Short-notice scheduling is possible, but pricing may rise when carrier capacity tightens. Factors that influence timing include pickup city density, open versus enclosed service, and whether the vehicle runs. For guaranteed dates, some customers choose expedited pickup via our door to door transport service.
How long does it take to ship a car from Michigan to New Jersey?
Transit typically falls between 2 and 4 days for the roughly 650 to 750 miles between both states. Timing varies based on the pickup location, carrier type, weather along the Great Lakes corridor, and traffic near Newark or Jersey City. Winter conditions along major Midwest and Northeast highways can add delays, while summer shipping often moves faster. Delivery is usually quickest when you provide flexible pickup windows.
What is the average cost to ship a car from Michigan to New Jersey?
Most standard sedans ship in the $650 to $950 range, based on recent Midwest-to-Northeast carrier averages. Pricing changes with distance, vehicle size, open or enclosed trailers, and seasonal demand. Larger SUVs and lifted trucks run higher because they occupy more carrier space. To compare options, many customers use our car shipping cost guide.
Is open or enclosed transport better for Michigan to New Jersey routes?
Open transport works for most vehicles and provides the best value on this regional route. Enclosed carriers are recommended for luxury models, show vehicles, or anything sensitive to weather, especially during Michigan’s snow and road-salt season. Enclosed transport offers greater protection but usually costs 30 to 50 percent more. Availability is strongest around Detroit and Ann Arbor due to higher carrier volume.
Can I ship an inoperable car from Michigan to New Jersey?
Yes, most carriers will move non-running vehicles using winches or specialized equipment. Expect an added $100 to $150 because loading takes more time. Ground conditions matter in winter, since icy surfaces can slow loading in Michigan. Provide details about brakes, steering, and rollability so the carrier can dispatch the right trailer.
