The math
Why shipping New York to Florida often costs less than driving
A one-way NY to FL drive runs $300-450 in gas, 1-2 hotel nights, food, tolls, and 1,200 miles of I-95 traffic. Add 18-20 hours behind the wheel.
A locked auto-transport quote on this corridor often runs flat to slightly below the all-in cost of driving. The snowbird volume keeps prices competitive year-round, with peak demand October-December (southbound) and April-May (northbound).
The locked quote you accept at booking is the final invoice. No fuel surcharge. No broker markup. No hidden door-to-door fees.

Frequently asked
The math, explained
How long does shipping a car from New York to Florida take?
3-5 days door-to-door on open transport. I-95 is a high-volume carrier corridor, so dispatch usually happens within 24-48 hours of booking, especially in peak snowbird season.
What is the actual price range?
Standard sedan on open transport from New York to Florida runs roughly $800-1,300 depending on origin/destination ZIP and timing. Peak southbound (October-December) sees the highest demand. SUV +$150-300. Pickup +$200-400.
When is the best time to book a snowbird shipment?
Two to three weeks ahead of your desired pickup date. Peak season fills up faster. Off-peak (January-September) is usually flexible same-week.
Can I ship to a winter rental address?
Yes. Most snowbird destinations are short-term rentals or seasonal homes. Your coordinator just needs the delivery address and contact info for the receiver.
