Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.
Professional service and reasonable price considering they had to winch my car on the trailer.
I'm really happy with the service!!! Fili is a really nice person and a professional.

Every car going from New Jersey to Pennsylvania crosses the Delaware River, and it’s a busy crossing, since Pennsylvania is where more people leaving New Jersey settle than any other state. The toll bridges on I-78, I-80 and I-295 charge only traffic heading into Pennsylvania, and a full-size car carrier pays by the axle, so each crossing costs it over $30, which is already part of your quote.
If its brakes, tires and lights are in good shape it should, but it may be the first inspection of them the car has had in years. New Jersey stopped checking passenger cars for mechanical defects in August 2010 and has tested them only for emissions since, while Pennsylvania’s safety inspection, done at an official station such as a repair garage, goes over the lights, the brakes and the other parts that keep a car safe. So worn pads or tires that New Jersey never asked about can fail it here.
Pennsylvania wants that inspection passed within ten days of registering the car, which doesn’t leave much room for waiting on parts. That’s why it’s worth having a mechanic look the car over in New Jersey before it ships, while there’s still time to fix anything at your usual garage.
If the move makes you a Pennsylvania resident, these are the state's rules for the car.

Shipping a car from New Jersey to Pennsylvania costs between $700 and $1,050 for open transport on the longer runs west. Cherry Hill or Trenton to Pittsburgh sits at the low end.
Shipping a car from New Jersey to Pennsylvania takes an estimated 2 to 3 days. Cherry Hill is about 310 miles from Pittsburgh and Newark about 420 from Erie, so the driving is a day or less, and the rest of the window is the driver's other pickups and drop-offs.
If you find damage at delivery, note it on the bill of lading before signing. We will manage the claim with the carrier from there.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
You can cancel for free up to 7 days before pickup. After that, the deposit is non-refundable.
Open transport is the standard choice for most vehicles. Enclosed transport costs 40 to 70% more and is appropriate for high-value vehicles, classics, low-clearance sports cars, and any car where weather exposure or road debris is a real concern.
One to two weeks ahead is enough on most routes. Busy corridors handle shorter notice, and quieter lanes benefit from the full two weeks. Booking earlier does not lower the price; it settles your dates sooner, and the price holds for 28 days either way.
