Florida to New Jersey Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Florida to New Jersey
Jacksonville to Newark is about 900 miles, straight up I-95. Orlando is closer to 1,040, and Boca Raton to Bergen County is around 1,200. It's two to three days of driving.
New Jersey is one of the biggest sources of Florida snowbirds, especially in Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Naples. Every spring, they ship their cars home to North Jersey, Monmouth County, and the Shore, and every fall they come back down. We also ship for Floridians taking pharma and finance jobs in New Jersey, and airmen and soldiers heading to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

The Route
How Cars Get From Florida to New Jersey
This is an I-95 route from start to finish. Trucks head up the Atlantic coast through Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia, around Washington and Baltimore, and over the Delaware Memorial Bridge onto the New Jersey Turnpike.
South Jersey and the Shore are reached on I-295, the Atlantic City Expressway, and the Garden State Parkway. Central and North Jersey are farther up the Turnpike. Hudson County cities usually need a meeting spot.
Along the Way
- Jacksonville → Florence, SC~305 mi
- Florence → Richmond~285 mi
- Richmond → Wilmington, DE~215 mi
- Wilmington → Newark~110 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Florida to New Jersey
The snowbird calendar drives everything on this route.
Spring Return Rush
March through May, northbound trucks fill up fast with New Jersey snowbirds. Book two or three weeks ahead for the best rate.
Shore Season
Memorial Day through Labor Day fills the Shore towns. Weekday deliveries there go much smoother.
Fall
Trucks heading north in the fall often have open space, which can mean better rates.
Hurricane Season
June through November can delay pickups along the Florida coasts. Keep a little slack in your dates.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Florida to New Jersey?
Here's what moves the price between Florida and New Jersey.
Distance
North Florida is about 860 to 900 miles from New Jersey. South Florida is closer to 1,200.
Snowbird Demand
Spring northbound and fall southbound trips cost more. Ship against the flow if you can.
A Busy Lane
I-95 is the busiest car-shipping corridor on the East Coast, which keeps prices competitive outside peak weeks.
City vs. Suburb
Suburban driveways are simple. Hoboken, Jersey City, and Newark streets usually need a meeting spot.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window helps a lot during the spring rush.

Turnpike tolls are already built in. Your quote is your final price, with $0 due at booking.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few New Jersey-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in New Jersey
New residents have 60 days to title and register with the NJ MVC. Most cars need an emissions inspection every two years. Check nj.gov/mvc for current requirements.
Snowbird Round Trips
Book the spring trip home and the fall trip back together, and we'll plan both around your dates.
Moving With the Military
We ship for airmen, soldiers, sailors, and families moving from MacDill, Eglin, Mayport, and NAS Jacksonville to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.
Florida Pickups
Gated communities, HOA truck rules, condo garages, and tight streets in places like Miami Beach and Key West can keep a carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-95, I-75, I-4, or the Turnpike.

When should I book my spring trip home to New Jersey?
Two or three weeks ahead if you're shipping in March, April, or May. That's when northbound I-95 trucks fill up fastest.
Does New Jersey require a vehicle inspection?
Most cars need an emissions inspection every two years. Check with the MVC for your vehicle.
Is it cheaper to ship or drive from Florida to New Jersey?
Driving 1,000 miles or more means two days of I-95 traffic, a hotel night, gas, and tolls. Shipping costs about the same and saves the trip.
Can you ship a car from New Jersey back to Florida?
Yes. Request a quote with your New Jersey pickup address and your Florida delivery address. Every shipment is door-to-door.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with must carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is recorded on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the car aren't covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the balance to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
