Ship your vehicle from Florida to New York with Zoomhaulers. This popular 1,000-1,300 mile route is one of the most frequently serviced corridors with competitive rates and regular carrier availability.
Route Overview: Florida to New York
This is one of the most heavily serviced auto transport corridors in the country. The route follows I-95 along the East Coast, passing through Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, and the Mid-Atlantic states. High carrier volume on this lane means competitive pricing and frequent availability.
The distance for this route ranges from approximately 1,000-1,300 miles, with typical transit times of 3-5 days for open carrier transport. Enclosed transport may require slightly longer due to fewer carriers on enclosed lanes.
Open vs. Enclosed Transport
When shipping from Florida to New York, you can choose between open and enclosed carrier options. Open transport is the most common and cost-effective method, using multi-car carriers that can haul up to 10 vehicles at once. Your vehicle is secured on the carrier but exposed to weather and road conditions.
Enclosed transport uses fully covered trailers that protect your vehicle from the elements. This option is ideal for luxury, classic, exotic, or high-value vehicles where maximum protection is warranted. Enclosed carriers typically carry fewer vehicles, which means slightly higher cost but significantly more protection.
Seasonal Considerations
This route experiences peak demand during late fall and early spring as snowbirds migrate between Florida and the Northeast. Booking in advance during these seasons is advisable to secure preferred dates and rates.
