Florida to New York Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Florida to New York
Jacksonville to New York City is about 935 miles, straight up I-95. Orlando is closer to 1,075, and Boca Raton to Long Island is around 1,250. It's two to three days of driving.
Florida to New York is the busiest snowbird route in the country. Every spring, New Yorkers who winter in Boca Raton, Palm Beach, Delray, and Naples ship their cars home to Long Island, Westchester, and the city, and every fall they come back down. We also ship for Floridians taking jobs in Manhattan, soldiers heading to Fort Drum, and students at Cornell, Syracuse, and the SUNY schools.

The Route
How Cars Get From Florida to New York
New York City, Long Island, and Westchester loads ride I-95 up the Atlantic coast, around Washington and Baltimore, and up the New Jersey Turnpike to the Hudson crossings. Long Island deliveries continue across the boroughs. Drivers time these runs around rush hour whenever they can.
Upstate loads leave I-95 and head up I-81 through Harrisburg and Scranton to Binghamton, Syracuse, and Fort Drum. Albany is reached on I-87 from the city, and Buffalo on I-90 or I-86.
Along the Way
- Jacksonville → Florence, SC~305 mi
- Florence → Richmond~285 mi
- Richmond → Philadelphia~250 mi
- Philadelphia → New York City~95 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Florida to New York
The snowbird calendar drives everything on this route.
Spring Return Rush
March through May, northbound I-95 trucks fill up faster than on any other route. Book two or three weeks ahead for the best rate.
Fall
Trucks heading north in the fall often have open space, which can mean better rates.
Summer PCS Season
May through August is the peak for Fort Drum and West Point moves. Book as soon as you have orders.
Upstate Winter
If you're shipping north in winter, lake-effect snow near Buffalo, Syracuse, and Fort Drum can slow the last leg.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Florida to New York?
Here's what moves the price between Florida and New York.
Distance
New York City is about 935 miles from Jacksonville and 1,280 from Miami.
Snowbird Demand
Spring northbound and fall southbound trips cost more than anywhere else on the East Coast. Ship against the flow if you can.
City vs. Suburb
Long Island and Westchester driveways are simple. Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens usually need a meeting spot.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed is popular for luxury cars heading to Hamptons homes and city garages.
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.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
Bridge, tunnel, and Turnpike tolls are already built in. The price we quote is the price you pay, with $0 due at booking.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few New York-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in New York
New residents have 30 days to register with the NY DMV. New York requires an annual safety inspection, and most vehicles also need an emissions check. Check dmv.ny.gov 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.
NYC Deliveries
Manhattan and most of Brooklyn and Queens are too tight for a car carrier. The driver will meet you at a garage, lot, or wide street nearby.
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.

FAQ
Florida to New York Car Shipping FAQs
How long does it take to ship a car from Florida to New York?
Usually 2 to 5 days after pickup. New York City from North Florida is on the faster end.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Florida to New York?
It depends on your exact pickup and delivery locations, vehicle size, open or enclosed transport, and the season. Request a free quote and you'll get a final price, good for 7 days.
When should I book my spring trip home to New York?
Two or three weeks ahead if you're shipping in March, April, or May. This is the busiest snowbird route in the country.
Can you deliver to a Manhattan garage?
Usually to a nearby spot rather than inside the garage. City streets are tight, so the driver will coordinate a meeting point.
Is it cheaper to ship or drive from Florida to New York?
Driving 1,000 to 1,300 miles means two or three days of I-95 traffic, hotel nights, gas, and tolls. For most people, shipping costs about the same or less.
Can you ship a car from New York back to Florida?
Yes. Request a quote with your New York 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.
