About this route

Why so many cars go from Florida to New Jersey

About 10,878 people moved from Florida to New Jersey in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (9,635 in 2023, 12,121 in 2024). That is 2.1% of everyone who left Florida for another state.

This is the lighter direction: about 27,936 people a year move New Jersey to Florida. Carriers that bring cars into Florida need loads back toward New Jersey, so it's worth asking for a backhaul price on this leg.

How the price compares

At a typical $1,175, shipping from Florida to New Jersey costs more than sending a car to Ohio ($1,125) and Pennsylvania ($1,125) but less than to Michigan ($1,200) and Illinois ($1,200). That works out to about 91¢ a mile.

Distance and transit time

Expect about 1,290 road miles from Miami to Newark — 3–5 days on the truck after pickup. Carriers usually load several cars before heading out, so the pickup window matters as much as transit time. The car heads north-northeast and stays on Eastern time the whole way.

On the road

  • Hurricane season (June–November) occasionally delays Gulf and Atlantic coast deliveries; carriers will reschedule rather than drive into a storm.

FAQ

Florida to New Jersey car shipping: questions

Numbers on this page come from our price model, Census moving data and New Jersey's DMV.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Florida to New Jersey?

For a running sedan on an open carrier, expect about $950–$1,375 from Miami to Newark (1,290 road miles). Between other big cities in the two states prices range from $800–$1,375. An SUV costs about $1,075–$1,525, a pickup $1,250–$1,775, and an enclosed trailer $1,450–$2,050 for a sedan.

How long does it take to ship a car from Florida to New Jersey?

Transit is usually 3–5 days after pickup for the 1,290-mile trip from Miami to Newark. Getting the car picked up takes another 1–5 days on a standard booking; expedited pickup within 1–2 days costs about 30% more.

When is the cheapest time to ship a car from Florida to New Jersey?

January–February and September–November is the cheapest window on this lane. Prices are highest in March–May, up to about 15% more. Whatever the month, a flexible pickup date booked 2–3 weeks out gets the best price.

How soon do I have to register my car in New Jersey after moving?

New Jersey requires new residents to register within 60 days of becoming a resident. Or before your old registration expires, whichever comes first. NJ MVC offices take appointments only.

Is it cheaper to drive or ship my car from Florida to New Jersey?

Driving 1,290 miles takes about 3 days: roughly $170 in gas and 2 nights of hotels and meals (about $280). Shipping a sedan costs about $950–$1,375. Add wear on the car and 3 days off work, and the two come out close.

Which car shipping companies go from Florida to New Jersey?

Our directory lists 182 companies based in Florida and 46 based in New Jersey, each checked against FMCSA records, plus 198 that ship nationwide.
