How Much Does Auto Transport from New Jersey to Massachusetts Cost?

Shipping a car from New Jersey to Massachusetts costs $100-$800 on average.

New Jersey is a US state located in the Northeastern and mid-Atlantic regions. New Jersey is famous for its multifaceted industrialization centered around hauling, biotechnology, finance, agriculture, printing, telecommunications, food processing, etc. It is home to numerous busy international ports, including the Port of Newark-Elizabeth Marine Termina.

On the other hand, Massachusetts is the most populous state in the New England region of the United States, owing to its industrialization and thriving economy. With almost 7 million people, the healthcare, manufacturing, banking, defense, and biotechnology sectors are all critical in Massachusetts' economy.

With both states located somewhat apart, the size of the car, the additional services requested, and, most importantly, the distance traveled determine the shipping price between them.

Which Shipping Method Is the Most Cost-Effective?

Open-air hauling is the most cost-effective method of hauling a car. The vehicle used to transport the automobiles has an open truck bed, which can haul more automobiles than an enclosed vehicle. While this is less expensive than enclosed transporting, which is much more costly but promises safety and professional handling, open-air shipping is riskier because your automobile may be exposed to the elements or harsh weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documents do I need to ship my car from New Jersey to Massachusetts?

You need a valid photo ID, current vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. The carrier provides a bill of lading at pickup to document mileage and vehicle condition. If someone else handles release or delivery, they should bring written authorization. For more details on required paperwork, see the understanding auto transport insurance requirements page.

How long does New Jersey to Massachusetts car shipping take?

Transit time usually ranges 1–3 days. Frequent Northeast carrier traffic helps shorten scheduling windows. Congestion near New York City and I-95 construction zones can create minor delays. Pickup flexibility often speeds up dispatch.

How much does it cost to ship a car from New Jersey to Massachusetts?

Most shipments fall between $500–$900 on open transport. Pricing is shaped by distance, pickup location, vehicle size, and seasonal demand in New England. Busy hubs like Newark to Boston typically trend toward the lower end. For a broader overview of national pricing, visit the car shipping cost guide.

Should I choose open or enclosed transport for this route?

Open carriers work for most vehicles and offer the strongest availability on Northeast routes. Enclosed transport is best for low-clearance, luxury, or restored vehicles because it provides added protection from weather, road salt, and debris. More details are available here: the enclosed auto transport page.

Can I ship an inoperable car from New Jersey to Massachusetts?

Yes. Carriers can load inoperable vehicles using a winch or lift, typically adding $75–$150. The vehicle must roll, steer, and have accessible tires. Notify the dispatcher in advance so the correct truck is assigned.

Is door-to-door delivery available between New Jersey and Massachusetts?

Door-to-door delivery is available in both states. In tighter areas—such as Boston, Cambridge, and parts of Hoboken—drivers may arrange a nearby meeting point for safety. This is standard for Northeast shipping and does not affect pricing. Learn more here: the door-to-door auto transport page.
