Route Overview
New York to Florida is one of the most heavily trafficked auto transport routes in the entire country. The I-95 corridor provides a direct path from the New York City metro area through New Jersey, the mid-Atlantic states, and the Carolinas straight into Florida. This route is extremely popular with snowbirds heading south for the winter, retirees making permanent moves, college students shipping vehicles to Florida universities, and anyone purchasing a vehicle online from the other end of the East Coast. Carrier availability is excellent, particularly from October through March.
