The short version
San Jose is the biggest city in the Bay Area, and it moves a lot of cars. Tech relocations go both ways here. Engineers arrive from Seattle and Austin while others leave for Denver, Raleigh or back home to the East Coast. Add students at San José State and a steady stream of online car purchases, and there's a carrier passing through almost every day.
That's good news for you. With highways like US-101, I-280 and I-880 meeting in the middle of the city, drivers can get in and out quickly. Pickup windows tend to be short, and prices on popular lanes stay competitive.
We keep things straightforward. You give us the route, the car and a first available date. We lock in a price, assign a licensed and insured carrier, and keep you posted until the car is parked at the other end.
Relocating with an employer package? Ask for an itemized invoice and we'll send one you can submit for reimbursement.
Local know-how
Shipping across San Jose.
Most of San Jose is truck-friendly. Wide arterials like Capitol Expressway, Almaden Expressway and Stevens Creek Boulevard make it easy for a carrier to reach North San Jose, Berryessa, Evergreen and Cambrian. Older streets in Willow Glen and the Rose Garden are prettier but tighter, so a nearby main road is often the better meeting point.
Lots of newer townhome communities have HOA rules about large vehicles, and gated complexes need an access code. Let us know ahead of time and the driver will meet you at the entrance or on the nearest through street. Silicon Valley also has more EVs per block than almost anywhere, and carriers here are used to them.
- 01
Charge EVs to around half
Carriers prefer EVs with roughly 50% charge. It's enough for loading and short moves without adding unnecessary weight.
- 02
Clear it with your HOA
Townhome and condo communities often restrict big trucks. A quick heads-up to the HOA, or a meeting spot outside the gate, avoids a stand-off on pickup day.
- 03
Ask for an itemized invoice
If your new employer is covering the move, we'll send an invoice that breaks out the transport cost for your reimbursement claim.
- 04
Avoid rush-hour pickups when you can
Morning and evening traffic on US-101 and I-880 is real. Mid-morning or early afternoon pickups usually go smoothest.

Services
Three ways to ship in San Jose.
- 01
Open transport
The go-to for commuters and family cars. San Jose sits on major north-south and east-west lanes, so open carriers fill quickly and leave often.
- 02
Enclosed transport
Popular for new EVs, performance cars and collector vehicles from Almaden and the West Valley that need to arrive spotless.
- 03
Door-to-door
From Downtown lofts to Evergreen cul-de-sacs, the driver comes to you or to the closest spot a carrier can legally stop.
How it works
Four steps. Zero guesswork.
- 01
Get your price
Tell us the route, the vehicle and the first day it can go. A specialist calls back within two minutes with a locked-in price, not a teaser rate.
- 02
Book your window
Pick a pickup window that suits you. We match the load to a licensed, insured carrier on your lane and send you the driver’s details.
- 03
Pickup and inspection
The driver walks around the car with you, notes its condition on the Bill of Lading, takes photos and loads it. You keep a signed copy.
- 04
Track it, then sign off
Follow the trip with updates from dispatch. At delivery you check the car against the pickup report before you sign. That’s it.

I had an excellent experience with Nova Auto Transport. Their communication was fantastic from beginning to end. Leo updated me throughout the entire process. They were able to coordinate directly with the body shop on my behalf. It took a big weight off my shoulders knowing they were handling the arrangements. My car arrived safely. The drivers also spoke english well, and there were no problems with the drop off. Highly recommended, and it's a pleasure to leave this review for them.

Best. Service. Ever. This was my first time shipping a car — and my first car ever — so I was honestly nervous, especially after hearing about so many scams. But the entire process was amazing. Communication was top-notch — every time I texted, I got a quick and helpful response with an update on my car. The delivery was smooth, professional, and right on time. I’m so happy to have my car safely with me at college now. Thank you all so much for making this experience stress-free and perfect!
