it depends how long your ride is southern nj to north west pa is got to be 8 to 10 hrs.
1. dont feed your fish for a couple days before you start packing them up.
2. i'd just go to my koi supplier and get some bags make sure to double bag. have them teach you how to tie the end with a rubber band and this is key if your ride will be 4 hours or more . use an o2 tank to fill the bag with oxygen.. they have o2 tanks available on amazon now. this can extend your drive time to 24 hours but safer to stay around 10 or less.
when you put the fish in the cay lay the bag don but have the length of the bag go across the width of the car. fish can break there necks if the length goes with the length/ direction of travel.

It’s about 3 hours. Thank you so much for this info. Very helpful!

your above ground so long as it's not real small and you don't plan on staying through winter . if its good size then you can keep them there over the winter. i would look at a green reset or a bead filter for the pool temporarily, then you can incorporate it into the new pond

I will look into green reset or bead filters. I’m not sure what they are. I really am inexperienced when it comes to pond equipment.

I didn't recomend longer than 10 hours because if not done right poop in the bag or just air and not pure o2 will limit the length of time

Yup. I had a very reputable koi pond "guy" package them for me (I had a broken arm which added to the fun!).
