Car shipping from Florida to New York
The spring half of the snowbird cycle. Same interstate as the southbound run, same carrier density, but the demand peak lands in a completely different month.
Who ships FL to NY
Winter residents returning north in spring, students heading back for the academic year, and permanent relocations to the Northeast.
When to book, and what it costs you if you don't
Northbound peaks hard from late March through May. Ship in the shoulder — early March or late May — and the same move can cost noticeably less. In autumn this is the light direction and rates soften.
The route your carrier actually drives
I-95 north through Jacksonville, Savannah, Fayetteville, Richmond, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Delivery into Manhattan or Brooklyn is normally arranged at a nearby lot; full-size rigs cannot legally work most streets there.
What moves on this corridor
Luxury sedans and SUVs, with enclosed demand climbing through the April peak.
Cities I pick up and deliver most often
Not on the list? It makes no difference to whether I can help — these are simply the points where carriers on this lane already stop. Anywhere else is still door to door.

Shipping Florida to New York
- How long does it take to ship a car from Florida to New York?
- Plan on 3–5 days once your vehicle is loaded — it is roughly 1,280 miles, and carriers average about 500 miles a day with mandated rest stops. Add one to three business days for a carrier to be dispatched to your first available date.
- What determines the price on the Florida to New York route?
- Distance sets the floor, then vehicle size and weight, open versus enclosed, whether it runs, and how flexible your dates are. Northbound peaks hard from late March through May. Ship in the shoulder — early March or late May — and the same move can cost noticeably less. In autumn this is the light direction and rates soften. I quote what the lane is actually paying carriers, so the number does not move after you book.
- Which cities do you cover on this route?
- Pickup anywhere in Florida including Miami and Boca Raton, and delivery anywhere in New York including New York City and Long Island. Rural addresses are fine — if an 80-foot rig cannot legally reach the street, we agree on a nearby lot, usually a few minutes away, at no change to your price.
- Do I have to pay before my car is picked up?
- No. Nothing is charged when you book. A deposit is only taken once a licensed carrier is assigned to your Florida pickup with a confirmed date, and the balance goes to the driver at delivery in New York.
