Ship Your Vehicle from New Jersey to New York
Shipping a car from New Jersey to New York covers roughly 160 miles, and Vinmove runs this corridor regularly. Most vehicles on this route are picked up within a few days of booking and delivered in 2-4 days, door to door.
Distance and pricing shown are estimates for open transport based on Vinmove's published route data. Your quote depends on your exact addresses, vehicle, and dates.
The New Jersey to New York corridor
At 160 miles this is the shortest lane on the site, and the mileage is almost irrelevant to how it works. The drive is an hour or two; the difficulty is entirely in the last mile at each end. A full-size car carrier cannot legally or practically work most streets in Manhattan, much of Brooklyn, or the tighter parts of Jersey City and Hoboken, so both ends are usually handled at a staging lot.
Where we collect in New Jersey and deliver in New York
Pickups come from across northern and central New Jersey — Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Union and Monmouth. Deliveries go to Nassau and Suffolk on Long Island, Westchester, the Bronx and Queens, and to staging points serving Manhattan and inner Brooklyn. Long Island deliveries take the longest, because getting a carrier on and off the island is the slow part.
When to ship New Jersey to New York
Nothing about the weather matters on a lane this short. What matters is that a carrier will not move a truck 160 miles for one car, so your vehicle waits for a load going that way. That wait is the whole schedule. Late August is the tightest window of the year because of university moves across the metro area.
What moves the price on this lane
Expect the price to look high against the distance — this is the clearest example of why auto transport is priced by the driver's day and the trailer slot rather than by the odometer. The cheapest version of this move is a pickup and delivery that both sit near a highway with room to load. Meeting the driver at an agreed lot rather than insisting on kerbside is often the difference between a straightforward job and an expensive one.

What affects your New Jersey to New York price?
Two shipments on the same lane can price differently. The main variables are:
- Vehicle size, weight, and whether it runs and drives
- Open carrier versus enclosed transport
- How flexible your pickup window is
- Time of year — snowbird and summer moving seasons run higher
- How far your addresses sit from the main highway corridor
