Looking for a Vehicle Transport Company Between California and New Jersey?

From Point A in California to Point B in New Jersey

From Point A in California to Point B in New Jersey

The California to New Jersey route is one of the longer ones on our roster. It spans a distance of 2,900 miles or 42 hours of non-stop driving according to satellite data. In reality, it's a much longer trip, more than 6-7 days of regular, straight driving with traffic, gas stops, resting times, etc.

 

Driving that distance will be both tiring and dangerous, not to mention boring at times, and that’s why a lot of our customers opt for the professional New Jersey auto transport method. It removes the stress of driving over long distances, removes the danger from driving across the U.S., and lets them use their time in other, more productive ways.

 

To help new customers, we’ve made a conscious effort to provide as much information before booking as possible. We want you to make an informed decision that leaves you satisfied, and we’ll do our best to guide you through the process, giving you suggestions based on our extensive experience.

What to Expect from California to New jersey Vehicle Shipping with SGT Auto Transport

What to Expect from California to New jersey Vehicle Shipping with SGT Auto Transport

Starting from the booking process, it's quite simple as it is a guided process from the service advisor with whom you get in contact. You tell us what you need, where the car needs to go, what sort of make and model it is, and we’ll give you our best estimation on what sort of service you would need to make your experience more convenient.

 

After you find everything fits well, we go and search for the carrier that best represents the services you need, then negotiate on the price to lower it to fit your budget. We value honesty, and we expect it from others and the people we work with.

 

In terms of carriers, you won’t have to search for them yourself - that’s our job, and we’ve done it for 11 years now, with more than 150,000 successful shipments. We know the carriers we work with, we know how they operate, what sort of insurance coverage they have, when it expires, what they are good at and not so good at.

 

All of this information helps us find you the safest carrier for the job, regardless of whether you are shipping a daily commuter car or an expensive and exotic vehicle. Not all shipment jobs are the same, but what stays the same is our commitment to perfection and satisfying our customers’ needs.

Great and reliable company and the company they found as a carrier, very happy with their services. I shipped two cars in an enclosed trailer. Not only everything was fast and nice, the price was actually just a tad higher than open trailer. Highly recommended.

I was very hesitant about using any company to ship my car. I never had to do this and was not knowledgeable about the process. I had a quote from five different companies. Some higher and some lower. However, I decided to go with SGT Auto Transport based on their customer service. The process was easy and efficient. They explained the process would take about 4-6 days. I was shocked my car was shipped from California to Maryland in literally 4 days. And the driver was so polite. No extra/unexplained charges. No worries. If I ever need to ship a car again, the only company I am going with is SGT Auto Transport. Thank you

The prices you can expect to see for car shipping from Jersey City, NJ to Los Angeles, CA, range from $999 то $1199 depending on the season. Winter shipping tends to be on the higher end than warmer-time shipping, as the cold weather tends to slow the haulers down dramatically.

The way prices are calculated is based on the distance of the vehicle to its end location, as well as the following:

  • Type of car - larger vehicles can be more expensive to ship.
  • Exact location of the shipment from A to B;
  • Value of the vehicle - expensive vehicles are double-insured;
  • The time of year - March through to September sees 30% higher prices;
  • The type of car shipping method - the most affordable one is open trailer transport.
  • If expediency services apply - express services that prioritize the shipment over others, make the service cost more.

If you want to get an accurate price for your particular job, we suggest giving us a call. We’ll ask you relevant questions and determine what the most affordable method is based on your shipment data.

You can also get an independent quote from our price calculator, which is super easy to use. Input the relevant information about the destinations of origins and delivery, the car’s make, model, and condition, and specify a shipping method and time.
