Pickup & delivery
Local considerations for New Brunswick.
Street access
A full-size carrier often can't fit on residential streets in denser parts of New Brunswick. Expect to meet at a nearby wide street or a large parking lot. We'll confirm the spot before pickup day.
Campus timing
Demand around Rutgers University peaks in late summer and at the end of the spring term. Book early if you're moving at those times, and check whether campus lots allow a carrier.
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 New Brunswick.
