The route
New Jersey sits at the top of the East Coast's main car-shipping corridor. Carriers pick up along the Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway, then run I-95 south through the Carolinas and Georgia into Florida. Newark to Orlando is 1,105 miles.
North Jersey towns near Newark and Jersey City are close to the port terminals and auto auctions, so trucks pass through constantly. South Jersey addresses around Cherry Hill load off I-295, and Shore towns like Toms River are easiest to schedule outside the summer rush.
When to book
Expect higher prices from October through January, when snowbirds head south: Newark to Orlando is about $1,540 in November and $1,405 in April, when most trucks are hauling cars back north. Summer is busy with family moves and college students, so book about two weeks ahead from June through August.
Good to know
Many New Jersey residents compare shipping with Amtrak's Auto Train, which departs from Lorton, Virginia. Door-to-door shipping skips the drive to Virginia: your car is picked up at home and you can fly down on your own schedule.

Questions about New Jersey to Florida car shipping
How long does car shipping from New Jersey to Florida take?
About 3–5 days after pickup for Newark to Orlando. Allow a few extra days for pickup scheduling during snowbird season.
Is car shipping cheaper than the Auto Train?
It depends on the season and how many people are traveling. The Auto Train requires you to drive to Lorton, Virginia and ride along with the car. Shipping costs about the same or less for one person and lets you fly instead.
Do you pick up at the Jersey Shore?
Yes. Shore towns are served year round. In summer, narrow streets and traffic can mean meeting the driver at a nearby lot.
