Door-to-door auto transport from Florida to New York along the I-95 corridor.
About This Route
Shipping a Car From Florida to New York
Florida to New York follows one of the best-known corridors on the East Coast. Depending on where in Florida the trip starts, the distance runs from roughly 800 miles out of Jacksonville to well over 1,200 miles from South Florida, and the whole route stays on or near I-95.
Northbound carriers take I-95 through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia, then through the Washington–Baltimore–Philadelphia stretch and across New Jersey into the New York area. That last leg is the busiest, with heavy traffic and tolls, so drivers often plan delivery times around it. Exactly which roads a driver uses can change with traffic, weather and construction.

Good to Know
What to Plan For on This Route
Delivery in the five boroughs
Narrow streets, alternate-side parking and truck restrictions make some New York City addresses hard for a full-size carrier. The driver may suggest a wider street or a larger lot nearby, and a handoff just outside the densest areas can be quicker.
Gated communities and condos
Many Florida communities restrict large trucks. Check access rules with your HOA or property manager and share them with us so a suitable pickup spot can be arranged ahead of time.
Spring can be busy
Many seasonal residents head north in the spring, which can make that part of the year busier. Requesting your quote early gives you more choices.

Timing and Seasonal Tips
Hurricane season runs from June through November, and storms can disrupt pickups in Florida. In the Northeast, winter snow and ice can slow deliveries from December through March, particularly on the New Jersey and New York end of the trip. Late spring and early fall tend to be easier, though conditions vary from year to year.

Questions Answered
Florida to New York Car Shipping FAQ
Can a carrier deliver to Manhattan?
Full-size carriers have a hard time on Manhattan’s narrow, crowded streets, so the driver may arrange to meet at a larger nearby street or lot. Share the exact address and any parking restrictions when you request your quote.
Do carriers always take I-95?
I-95 is the main corridor, but the driver chooses the road based on traffic, weather and construction, so the exact route can vary from one shipment to the next.
What if my Florida community doesn’t allow large trucks?
Let us know when you request your quote. A nearby parking lot or wide street can often serve as the pickup point, and you or your designated contact would meet the driver there.
