Seasonal tip
Snowbird traffic runs south in late fall and back north in spring, so this southbound route is busiest from October through December. One to two weeks of notice is usually enough at other times of year; in peak snowbird weeks, three weeks leaves more room to find a truck for your dates.
Route overview
Jersey City to Miami is about 1,275 miles, heading south on I-95 South. The published transit of 4 to 6 days after pickup works out to roughly 210 to 320 miles a day, slower than driving it yourself because the truck stops for other vehicles and federal rules cap the driver at 11 hours behind the wheel per shift.
The published range for a standard sedan on an open carrier is $900 to $1,250, about 71 cents to 98 cents a mile.
Leave about a quarter tank of fuel and take out toll transponders and parking passes, so the vehicle does not register tolls while it rides on the trailer.
Open transport suits most vehicles on a route this long. Enclosed trailers cost more and earn it for classic, luxury and low-clearance cars, which would otherwise ride 4 to 6 days exposed to weather and road grit.

Every partner is licensed and insured.
