Car shipping from New York to Florida
The classic snowbird run, and the single most seasonal lane in auto transport. Carrier capacity is enormous here, but so is demand at the turn of each season.
Who ships NY to FL
Winter residents heading to Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Naples and the Gulf Coast, plus a constant stream of permanent relocations out of the Northeast.
When to book, and what it costs you if you don't
This is the lane where booking early genuinely changes the price. Southbound rates spike from mid-October through December, northbound from April through May. Outside those windows it is one of the cheapest per-mile corridors in the country.
The route your carrier actually drives
I-95 the whole way, through Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, Fayetteville, Savannah and Jacksonville. Manhattan and Brooklyn pickups usually happen at an agreed lot rather than a street address — an 80-foot rig cannot legally work most residential streets there.
What moves on this corridor
Luxury sedans and SUVs in volume, with enclosed demand rising sharply in the November 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 New York to Florida
- How long does it take to ship a car from New York to Florida?
- 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 New York to Florida route?
- Distance sets the floor, then vehicle size and weight, open versus enclosed, whether it runs, and how flexible your dates are. This is the lane where booking early genuinely changes the price. Southbound rates spike from mid-October through December, northbound from April through May. Outside those windows it is one of the cheapest per-mile corridors in the country. 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 New York including New York City and Long Island, and delivery anywhere in Florida including Miami and Boca Raton. 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 New York pickup with a confirmed date, and the balance goes to the driver at delivery in Florida.
