Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.
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 ❤️
Professional service and reasonable price considering they had to winch my car on the trailer.

Two kinds of car make this trip. Some are Ohio cars going home after a winter in Florida, registered in Ohio all along. Others belong to people moving north for good, and those need an Ohio title. The road north is busiest in May and June, as the winter visitors head home, and the chart further down compares the rest of the year.
Ohio titles a Florida car from the paper Florida title, and getting one printed from Florida’s electronic record usually takes 3 to 4 weeks.
Florida often keeps a title only as an electronic record, so plenty of owners have never held theirs. A paper copy costs $4.50 on Florida’s MyDMV Portal. It is posted to the address on your Florida record, which makes it simplest to order while you still live there. After the move, a request mailed to a Florida county tax collector can name your Ohio address instead.
A financed car is the lender’s to send. The owner can print only a title with no loan on it. So you fill in the Ohio title office’s out-of-state request form and send it to the lender, which sends the title straight to the county title office. The office then records the loan on the new Ohio title.
Rates for moving a car north out of Florida peak in May and June, about 9% above their yearly norm, as snowbirds send their cars home; January and February are the quietest months, about 7% below.
| Months | Rates vs the yearly norm | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Jan to Feb | | −7% |
| Mar to Apr | | −3% |
| May to Jun | | +9% |
| Jul to Aug | | +5% |
| Sep to Oct | | −6% |
| Nov to Dec | | −5% |

To ship a car, request a quote with your origin, destination, and vehicle details. Sequoia matches you with a driver according to your pickup window, the driver picks up your vehicle, and delivers it at your destination.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
Yes. Every toll, bridge and congestion charge the truck pays on the way is already in your quote, and nothing is added for them after you book.
The truck waits until the road is safe to drive, and your pickup or delivery date moves with it. We'll confirm the driver's new window with you as soon as the road reopens. Snow on the mountain passes and in the northern states, and hurricanes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, are the usual causes.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
