Trenton sits at the crossroads of government work, regional commuting, and Northeast relocation traffic. State employees, corporate professionals commuting to Philadelphia or New York City, and families relocating across Mercer County often need reliable vehicle transport. Many moves involve nearby areas like Princeton, Hamilton Township, Ewing, and across the river into Bucks County, PA. College students from institutions like The College of New Jersey also contribute to seasonal vehicle movement.
The Trenton car shipping market is shaped by its position along the Northeast Corridor. With steady traffic between major cities and a dense regional population, carriers frequently pass through the area. AmeriFreight Auto Transport helps Trenton residents access a nationwide carrier network, making it easier to schedule shipments even in a smaller capital city compared to larger metros.
Common routes from Trenton include shipments south to Florida, west toward Ohio and Illinois, and north into New England. Open transport typically ranges from $700 to $1,300 depending on distance and timing, while enclosed transport runs higher for added protection.
Estimate ranges are provided for general planning purposes. Your AmeriFreight Auto Transport agent will provide a current estimate based on your specific vehicle, dates, and destination.

Trenton is directly connected by Interstate 95, Interstate 295, and U.S. Route 1, making it a key link between Philadelphia and New York City.
