Pickup & delivery

Local considerations for Elizabeth.

Street access

A full-size carrier often can't fit on residential streets in denser parts of Elizabeth. 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 Elizabeth, 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-95 is often the quickest handoff point in Elizabeth.
