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 ❤️
We had to send the car back to the dealership in Georgia and Sequoia did a really great job for us. Highly recommended!!!

The Florida metros gaining people from the rest of the country now are in the north and middle of the peninsula, around Jacksonville, Lakeland, Ocala and Sarasota, rather than down in Miami. Wherever a car is headed in the state, or leaving it from, it travels on one of three interstates, I-95 up the Atlantic side, I-75 down the middle or I-10 across the Panhandle, and those are ordinary interstate runs for most of the year, so what moves a Florida shipment’s dates is usually the weather rather than the road.
Usually it costs a few days around the landfall, not weeks. The season runs from June 1 to November 30, and on the day a hurricane comes ashore, car deliveries in the area it hits drop by a fifth to just over 40%, since trucks sit out the storm and bridges can be closed once sustained winds pass 40 mph. They start picking up again on the third day as the trucks that waited get moving, and they’re back to normal within a week. So a pickup or delivery that falls in the days around a landfall runs up to a week late.
Yes, and it gets there the way everything else does, down US 1. The Overseas Highway is the only road in, 113 miles from Key Largo to Key West over 42 bridges, so when something closes it there’s no way round. That matters most after a hurricane, because Monroe County reopens the Keys in stages from checkpoints on US 1, essential workers first and residents after them, and a delivery due in those days waits until the checkpoints let it through.
If the move makes you a Florida resident, these are the state's rules for the car.

Shipping a car to or from Florida typically costs between $800 and $2,850 for open transport, depending on the other end and the vehicle. Lanes to the Northeast and Midwest run $850 to $1,700, and the West Coast runs $1,350 to $2,850 because of the distance. Enclosed transport costs about 40 to 70% more, rising with distance.
Most Florida shipments take 3 to 8 days door to door. Lanes up the East Coast to New York, Philadelphia or Boston run 3 to 5 days, and the West Coast and Pacific Northwest take 4 to 8. Those are estimates: where a shipment lands in its range depends on how quickly a truck heading your way has room for the car.
If you are moving to Florida, yes, within 10 days of starting work there or enrolling a child in a Florida public school. Before Florida will title a car from another state, its vehicle identification number has to be checked in person, but a notary or a police officer in any state can do that and sign the form, so it can be done at home before the car is loaded. That check is the only inspection Florida gives an incoming car.
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.
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.
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 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.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
