The route

Northbound trucks run I-95 from South Florida through Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia and the New York area into New England. Fort Lauderdale to Boston is 1,457 miles. Naples and Fort Myers loads take I-75 north and cross to I-95 on I-4 or I-10.

Cape Cod deliveries go to Hyannis or a meeting spot near your home. For Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, we deliver on the mainland and you bring the car across on the ferry.

When to book

Northbound demand peaks from March through May: Fort Lauderdale to Boston is about $1,850 for an April pickup and $1,525 in November. A late-March nor'easter can delay the last leg into New England by a day.

Good to know

Massachusetts registrations and inspection stickers can come due while you're in Florida. Check both before the car ships home so it's legal to drive the day it arrives.
