Auto Transport Pricing and Transit Times from New York to Florida
Most pickup locations in New York are located between 1,100 and 1,300 miles from Florida. Rates for regular open carrier transportation should start at about $800 to $1,100. The cost of enclosed carrier services, which provide more defense against bad weather and road debris, typically ranges from $1,200 to $1,500. Depending on the pickup and drop-off locations, carrier availability, and seasonal traffic, transit times typically range from three to five days. Early booking is advised to secure the best rates because the snowbird season (October–April) frequently sees higher demand.
Why Ship a Car from New York to Florida?
The route from New York to Florida spans over 1,000 miles, with travel time averaging 18–20 hours behind the wheel. Driving yourself may sound simple — until you factor in:
- Rising gas prices

Seasonal Considerations
As people move south for the winter, the New York to Florida route is particularly clogged during snowbird season. Booking early helps ensure the best deals because pricing and scheduling may be affected by this seasonal demand. Although summer moves are usually less expensive, Florida’s season of hurricanes may have an impact.
