Ship Your Car from New York to Florida (Snowbird Season)

The New York → Florida corridor is one of the busiest in the U.S. Whether relocating, wintering in Florida, or buying/selling a vehicle, we match you with a properly insured carrier and keep you updated from pickup to delivery.

Popular Origins:
NYC, Long Island, Westchester, Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse
Popular Destinations:
Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, Naples, Jacksonville
Transit:
Most trips deliver in ~3–7 days after pickup (exact cities, traffic, and stops vary).

How It Works

  1. Request a quote: Enter vehicle, dates, and addresses (or ZIPs) above.
  2. We assign a vetted carrier: You’ll see DOT/MC and insurance details before approval.
  3. Pickup & delivery: Door-to-door when accessible, inspections at both ends, final confirmation.

What Affects Your Price

  • Exact cities & miles: NYC→Miami differs from Buffalo→Naples.
  • Trailer type: Open is most common; enclosed costs more for luxury/exotics.
  • Vehicle size/condition: Heavy, oversized, or inoperable vehicles need special handling.
  • Timing & season: Southbound demand rises Oct–Dec; flexible windows can reduce cost.
  • Pickup access: Narrow streets/restrictions may require a nearby meeting spot.

We’ll give you a clear, honest quote with no surprise add-ons.

Common NY→FL Corridors

FromToTypical Delivery After Pickup
NYC / Long IslandMiami / Fort Lauderdale~3–5 days
Westchester / AlbanyOrlando / Tampa~4–6 days
Buffalo / SyracuseJacksonville / Naples~4–7 days
Times vary with traffic, weather, multi-stop routes, and driver hours.

Open vs. Enclosed Transport

Open is the best value and most common. Enclosed protects high-end, low-clearance, or collectible vehicles from weather and road dust. We’ll recommend the right fit for your car and timeline.

What You’ll Need

  • Pickup & delivery addresses (or ZIPs) and flexible dates if possible
  • Vehicle info: year, make, model, running condition, mods (lowered, oversized, roof racks)
  • Primary contact for both ends; gate codes if any
  • Photo ID for delivery; someone 18+ to sign inspections

No deposit until a carrier is assigned and shown with DOT/MC & insurance.

NY to Florida — Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book for Snowbird season?

For southbound moves (Oct–Dec), request quotes 1–2 weeks early if you can. We can also handle last-minute pickups with flexible windows.

Is door-to-door included?

Yes, when accessible. If a street is too narrow or restricted, the driver will arrange a safe nearby meeting spot.

Can I put items in the car?

Light personal items (under ~100 lbs) are often fine below the window line; tell us ahead so we clear it with the carrier.

What about insurance?

Carrier cargo insurance is included. Do quick inspections at pickup and delivery; take photos for your records.

Do you handle condos or gated communities?

Yes—please provide gate codes or management rules. We’ll plan staging if needed.

How do payments work?

We’ll confirm method before dispatch. Many carriers prefer a small broker fee by card and the balance at delivery (varies by carrier).
