Northeast to Florida
Good to know on this route.
City pickups made simple
Where a full-size carrier can't get down your street, the driver sets a nearby meeting spot with you.
Book two to four weeks ahead
Late October through mid December is when the Northeast heads south, so earlier requests get the best dates.
Round trip in one booking
Book the spring trip home at the same time, because March and April fill up just as fast.
Your car rides on a Velocity truck when one is headed your way, or with a vetted carrier booked through our licensed broker partner, and we tell you who is hauling your car before pickup.

Request a QuoteHow much does it cost to ship a car from New York to Florida?
On an open carrier, most cars from New York to Miami run about $1,150–$1,650 all-in right now, North Jersey to West Palm Beach about $1,000–$1,430, and Boston to Tampa about $1,210–$1,730. The exact price depends on the ZIP codes, the vehicle, open versus enclosed and your dates. You get one written, all-in quote, usually within minutes during business hours.
Can you pick up in Manhattan or Brooklyn?
Yes. Where a full-size carrier can't get down the street, the driver sets a nearby meeting spot with you, usually a wide street or a lot a few blocks away. Tell us about parking or garage rules in the form.
When should I book for the winter?
Two to four weeks before you want the car picked up. Late October through mid December is when most of the Northeast heads south, and the spring trip home in March and April fills up just as fast, so book both legs at once.
Who hauls my car?
Velocity Logistics is a licensed and insured motor carrier based in Indianapolis, with its own trucks and drivers. Your car rides on a Velocity truck when one is headed your way, or with a vetted, insured carrier booked through our licensed broker partner. Dispatch tells you who is hauling your car before pickup and stays your single point of contact.
Should I ship my car open or enclosed?
Open is how most cars travel and costs less. Enclosed costs about 30–50% more and is the right call for a classic, exotic, luxury or garage-kept car you want out of the weather on I-95.
How do I get a quote, and how fast will I hear back?
Fill out the quote form with your vehicle details, pickup and delivery ZIP codes, and timeline, or call us. We email you a clear, all-in quote, typically within minutes during business hours. To book, you add the remaining details, read and sign your agreement, and pay your deposit by credit card or ACH through our online portal.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. Velocity Logistics is a fully insured, licensed motor carrier (USDOT 4494211, MC 1777008), and every partner carrier we use is vetted for active authority and cargo insurance. Every move includes an inspection with photos at pickup and delivery and a digital bill of lading, so the vehicle's condition is documented end to end.
