Pickup & delivery
Local considerations for Bayonne.
Street access
A full-size carrier often can't fit on residential streets in denser parts of Bayonne. Expect to meet at a nearby wide street or a large parking lot. We'll confirm the spot before pickup day.
Port deliveries
If the car is going to or coming from the Port Jersey and Bayonne vehicle terminals, terminals usually need a booking reference and the title before they accept the vehicle. Send those with your quote request.
Winter prep
Winter storms can delay pickups. Rinse off road salt before the inspection so the condition report is accurate, and make sure the battery is strong.
Highway handoff
If your street is hard to reach, a large lot near I-78 is often the quickest handoff point in Bayonne.
