Seasonal tip
Snowbird traffic runs south in late fall and back north in spring, so this northbound route is busiest from March through May. 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
Tampa to New York City is about 1,130 miles, heading northeast on I-95 North. The published transit of 4 to 6 days after pickup works out to roughly 190 to 280 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 $850 to $1,150, about 75 cents to $1.02 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.
Most regional moves go on open carriers. Enclosed transport is quoted on request for high-value vehicles.

Every partner is licensed and insured. Before the Tampa pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to check on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate; the Bill of Lading guide explains the inspection you sign at both ends, and the disclaimer sets out who is responsible for what.
