Open transport is the most common shipping method for standard vehicles heading south on this route and covers the lower end of those ranges. If you are shipping a luxury car, a classic vehicle, or anything with low ground clearance, enclosed transport adds roughly $300 to $400 and gives your car maximum protection inside a sealed enclosed trailer, shielded from road debris and severe weather across the full haul.
Your final price shifts with your vehicle type, your specific pickup and delivery locations, fuel prices, and seasonal demand. What it does not shift with is hidden fees, because the number we quote you is the number you pay.
"The price we quote you is going to be the price we charge you when it comes to shipping your vehicle."

Snowbird Car Shipping From New York to Florida
New York to Florida is one of the top snowbird car shipping corridors in the United States, and snowbirds heading south for the winter have been making this trip for decades. Driving 1,280 miles each way every year gets old fast, and that is exactly why car shipping services on this route stay busy from October all the way through May.
During peak snowbird season from October through February, carrier availability tightens quickly, and shipping rates climb 15 to 20 percent compared to off-peak months. Booking two to three weeks ahead of your departure date is the smart move, and if you arrange transport for this trip every year, it is worth locking in your southbound and northbound shipments at the same time. The spring return runs from March through May, and delivery windows fill up just as fast going north.
Long Island has always been one of our strongest pickup markets for Florida-bound vehicle transportation. Residential pickup is available for most addresses across Nassau and Suffolk counties, and our experienced team knows how to navigate the access challenges that come with shipping a car from New York City.
Large car carriers cannot always reach narrow Brooklyn side streets or certain Manhattan blocks, so your coordinator will arrange a nearby pickup location that works for the carrier and for you. Customers shipping from upstate New York can also arrange pickup from Buffalo or Rochester with the same door-to-door service.
Military and Corporate Auto Transport From New York to Florida
Florida is home to some of the most active military installations in the country. MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Patrick Space Force Base on the Space Coast, and Naval Air Station Jacksonville all receive PCS orders from the Northeast on a consistent basis. Our experienced team works directly with service members and their family members to arrange transport that fits your military reporting window. If you are heading south on orders, call us and tell us your timeline, and we will build the shipment around it.
On the corporate side, the migration of professionals from New York to Florida is steady and growing every year. Tampa’s expanding finance and tech community, Orlando’s business sector, and Miami’s international market are drawing people out of New York who want strong career opportunities without New York’s cost of living. If your company is relocating you to the Sunshine State, we coordinate directly with your HR or relocation team through our corporate relocation car shipping service to keep your car on schedule with the rest of your move.
