Route Overview
New York to Miami is the single busiest auto transport corridor on the East Coast, driven by the massive snowbird migration between the Northeast and South Florida. Carriers run I-95 the entire length of the eastern seaboard. Demand peaks from October through January as snowbirds head south. The consistent year-round carrier traffic means competitive pricing and reliable pickup times.
