Shipping a car from New York to Florida is one of the busiest snowbird lanes in the country, and one we run all winter. Most moves follow the I-95 corridor down the East Coast, from the New York City metro, Long Island, and upstate pickups to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville — plus the Gulf Coast and smaller Florida towns in between.
We pick up door-to-door wherever a carrier can safely load, whether that is a home, a storage facility, a dealership, or an apartment building with truck access nearby. If your street cannot take a full-size carrier, we arrange a nearby meeting point and tell you before pickup day, not on it.
Southbound demand peaks from October through December, when seasonal residents head to Florida, and northbound demand peaks in spring. Booking two to four weeks ahead in peak season gives you the best choice of pickup windows; last-minute moves are still possible, but flexibility on the pickup day helps.

What affects your price
Total distance (roughly 1,250 miles, New York City to Miami), vehicle size and weight, open versus enclosed transport, whether pickup and delivery are in major metro areas or rural locations, and seasonal demand on the lane. Your quote reflects the live market for your exact move, not a flat rate.
Many recent single-vehicle moves we completed from New York to Florida (2024 to 2026, mostly open carriers) ran from about $750 to $1,000. That is a market guide, not a quote. Fall snowbird demand, fuel prices, and your exact pickup and delivery cities move the number, and your quote is built for your move.
How long it takes
New York to Florida falls in the cross-country band on our published schedule, 5–10 days, with most moves landing in the middle of that range. Your dispatcher gives you a realistic window at booking and updates you through the move.
