Quotes well below the typical range are almost always bait-and-switch. You are quoted a low price to pay the deposit, and then the price is bumped at the last minute.
Insured under federal cargo liability requirements. Coverage is part of the quote, not an add-on.
Your quote is locked for 28 days. Cancel free up to 7 days before pickup.
Most shipments run door to door. If access is tight (narrow streets, low clearance), we will arrange a nearby meeting point.

It is a really professional company, and the service was great, and we also really value the environmental contributions they are doing. Thank you guys!! Will move my car again with you ❤️
We had to send the car back to the dealership in Georgia and Sequoia did a really great job for us. Highly recommended!!!

Florida is one of the most-shipped-to and most-shipped-from states in the US. Carrier supply is dense in both directions on most corridors year-round, mostly because of snowbird migration and high inbound retiree relocation. Pickup usually happens within a few days of booking.
Pricing varies by origin city, destination city, and season. Inbound from the Northeast (New York, Boston, Philadelphia) runs $900 to $1,550 in most months. Inbound from the West Coast (California, Washington) is $1,400 to $2,350 because of distance. Snowbird corridors see price spikes of 15 to 25% in October through December and again in March through May, when demand peaks.
Florida has state-specific quirks worth knowing. Hurricane season (June through November) can briefly tighten carrier supply on coastal corridors while traffic routes around a storm. Pickup in the Florida Keys requires meeting the driver on the mainland. Full-length transport trailers cannot safely navigate the Overseas Highway.

Shipping a car to Florida typically costs between $900 and $2,350 for open transport, depending on origin and vehicle. Inbound from the Northeast or Midwest runs $900 to $1,550 in most months. Inbound from the West Coast is $1,400 to $2,350 because of distance. Specific quotes are locked for 28 days from the moment you book.
Most inbound Florida shipments take 3 to 8 days door to door, depending on origin. East-coast corridors (New York, Boston, Philadelphia) run 3 to 5 days. West-coast and Pacific Northwest routes take 5 to 8 days.
Snowbird traffic shapes Florida pricing. Inbound corridors from the Northeast and Midwest see demand spikes from October through December, pushing prices up 15 to 25%. The same corridors run cheapest in summer and early fall. Outbound from Florida sees the mirror spike from March through May.
Florida requires vehicle registration within 30 days of establishing residency. Your title travels with the car during shipping. Once you arrive, visit a Florida Tax Collector office with your out-of-state title, proof of insurance from a Florida insurer, and a VIN inspection (most counties handle the inspection in-office).
Yes, with one adjustment: the handoff happens on the mainland. Full-length transport trailers cannot safely run the Overseas Highway, so we arrange a meet point on the mainland side and confirm the exact spot with you before pickup or delivery.
You can leave up to 100 pounds of personal items in one piece of luggage, placed in the trunk or cargo area. Some carriers will accept additional weight for an added fee; we can arrange this for you after booking.
One to two weeks ahead is enough on most routes. Busy corridors handle shorter notice, and quieter lanes benefit from the full two weeks. Booking earlier does not lower the price; it settles your dates sooner, and the quote is locked for 28 days either way.
Wash the car so its condition is easy to record, photograph it from each corner, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Take out anything above the 100 pound personal item allowance, and take your toll transponder such as FasTrak, E-ZPass or SunPass off the windshield, because toll gantries can read it while the car rides the truck. Have a working key ready for the driver.
Nothing is charged at booking. The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens, and the remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
