How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car from Florida to New Jersey?
As of September 2026, the average cost to ship a car from Florida to New Jersey is about $1,057, with shipments typically running $700–$1,500 depending on the exact city pair, vehicle, and season. Open auto transport is the standard choice on this corridor; enclosed transport adds weather and debris protection for about 50% more.
What Factors Affect the Cost to Ship a Car?
Distance sets the baseline: the average driving distance on this route is about 1,120 miles, and longer city pairs cost more in total while costing less per mile. From there, vehicle size and weight, open versus enclosed carrier, exact pickup and delivery locations, fuel prices, and above all season and timing move the number—snowbird-return demand makes March through May the corridor's northbound peak. For the full breakdown, see our car shipping cost calculator.

Open or Enclosed Transport for Florida to New Jersey?
Open car transport is the right choice for the vast majority of Florida to New Jersey shipments. Carriers run I-95 north every week—this is one of the country's busiest snowbird lanes in reverse—which makes open auto transport both the most available and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip north.
Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.
One corridor-specific note for winter and early-spring shipments: this run delivers into the Northeast, and I-95 carries road salt from the Carolinas north until roughly March. If your car has fresh paint or salt-sensitive components, enclosed transport is worth the premium.
Expedited shipping is also available on this route when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle to New Jersey faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from corporate relocations to students starting a new semester.
The Florida to New Jersey Route
Most Florida to New Jersey shipments run I-95, with door-to-door pickup and delivery on both ends. When direct routing isn't practical, carriers relay through hubs like Atlanta to keep trucks full.
Florida to New Jersey Shipping Prices by Season
This is a reverse-snowbird corridor: northbound demand peaks in spring as winter residents head home, and softens from late summer into fall when most seasonal traffic runs the other way.
Monthly booking demand on the Florida to New Jersey corridor
Spring
Returning snowbirds drive the year's strongest northbound demand, and April is typically the tightest month for carrier space.
Early Summer
Relocation season keeps carriers moving in both directions; northbound demand eases gradually through midsummer.
Late Summer & Fall
Most seasonal traffic is heading south, so northbound carrier space is plentiful: the best pricing of the year.
Holidays & Winter
A moderate stretch with a small bump around the holidays; demand starts building toward the spring rush late in winter.
How Long Does Florida to New Jersey Car Shipping Take?
Transit begins at pickup, not booking. Plan on 1–3 extra days for carrier dispatch, more during the spring snowbird-return peak.

Pickup and Delivery Notes for the Florida to New Jersey Route
Most handoffs on this corridor are straightforward door-to-door pickups. The exceptions, we handle routinely.
Florida gated communities
Routine pickups across South Florida. Provide a gate code or arrange a guest pass at booking and the driver coordinates the rest.
Condos & high-rises
Drivers meet at the loading zone, ground-floor entrance, or an adjacent lot with room for the truck, on either end of the run.
North Jersey deliveries
Dense blocks in Jersey City, Hoboken, and Newark are serviceable; on tight streets the driver may meet you at a wider spot nearby.
Seasonal & second homes
Snowbird returns are this corridor’s specialty. A designated contact can release the vehicle in Florida if you have already flown north.
Suburbs & shore towns
From the Newark suburbs to Trenton, Princeton, and the shore, drivers coordinate delivery at your home, office, or the nearest spot with room for the truck.
Northeast winter weather
The corridor runs all winter. Severe storms on the northern leg can shift delivery by a day or two, and we communicate any delay proactively.

Three things to handle between booking and pickup day. They take an hour in total and make both handoffs smooth.

Prep and empty the vehicle
Wash the car, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, and remove personal items. Anything left inside is not protected against loss or damage in transit.
Inspect at pickup and delivery
Walk around the vehicle with the driver at both ends, photograph its condition, and note anything new on the Bill of Lading before signing.
