Car Shipping from Florida to New England

Going back north for the summer? American Car Transporters ships cars from Florida to Connecticut, Massachusetts and the rest of New England, door to door. We are a licensed, family-owned broker based in Boca Raton, and the spring trip north is one of our busiest.

Give us your Florida address and your New England address. We match your car with a vetted carrier from our network of more than 13,000 and confirm a pickup window that fits your plans.

Who ships this route

Most of our customers on this lane are snowbirds from Connecticut and Massachusetts heading home after the winter. Many fly and ship their car so they arrive rested instead of spending days on I-95.

Others ship a second car north rather than leaving it parked in Florida all summer. We also move cars for people relocating to New England for work or family. Many customers book this same lane every spring and every fall.

Typical price from Florida to Connecticut or Massachusetts

For open transport between Florida and Connecticut or Massachusetts, the typical recent range is $1,250 to $1,550. That range comes from jobs we moved in the last six months and is current as of fall 2026.

Your own quote depends on your vehicle, your timing and your exact pickup and delivery locations. Enclosed transport, a larger vehicle, a car that does not run or a peak spring week can all change it. Shipping against the seasonal rush can cost less, so ask us how a different week would change your quote.

You pay nothing when you book. You are charged only once your carrier is dispatched.

When to book

Spring is peak northbound season, roughly March through May. Snowbirds on the Northeast lanes all head home in the same few weeks, and carrier space fills up.

Booking early in that window gives you more say over your pickup date. If your travel dates are not fixed yet, we can work with a pickup window instead of a single day.

We give you a realistic pickup window when you book and keep you updated in transit, rather than promising an exact hour.

Open or enclosed transport

Open transport is the most common and most affordable choice. It suits everyday cars, and most of our northbound moves go open.

Enclosed transport protects classic, luxury and low-mileage cars from weather and road debris. It is worth a look in early spring, when New England can still see snow and road salt. Your quote includes insurance coverage either way.

How it works in 3 steps

Before pickup, remove personal items and toll tags, check the tires, fluids and battery, and leave about a quarter tank of gas.

1. Request your quote. Share both addresses, your vehicle and your dates with our quote calculator or call 877-238-4718.
2. Pickup in Florida. The driver inspects the car with you, you both sign the Bill of Lading, and the car is loaded.
3. Delivery in New England. The car is brought as close to your door as the truck can safely and legally get, and you inspect it together.

There is no package or contract. Each trip is a one-way shipment on your schedule. When fall comes, book the trip south the same way. Our snowbird car shipping page covers the round trip.

When is the busiest time to ship a car north from Florida?

Spring, roughly March through May, when snowbirds head home. Carrier space on the Northeast lanes fills up in those weeks. Book early in the window for more say over your pickup date, or give us a flexible pickup window so we can place your car faster.

Should I choose open or enclosed transport to New England?

Open transport suits most everyday cars and costs less. Enclosed transport keeps a classic, luxury or low-mileage car out of the weather, which matters in early spring when New England can still see snow and road salt. Your quote includes insurance coverage either way.

Can I book the trip back to Florida in the fall?

Yes. Many customers ship the same lane twice a year, north in the spring and south in the fall. Repeat customers get quoted quickly because the route is already on file. Each trip is its own one-way booking, with no contract.
