What to know about shipping a car from Florida to Massachusetts.

Massachusetts wants a car through inspection within a week of registering it, and that inspection is where a car that has lived in Florida can run into trouble, because the two states draw the line on window tint in different places. The trip itself is 1,150 to 1,500 miles up I-95, which takes an estimated three to five days from pickup to delivery, and it’s busiest in May and June, when cars that wintered in Florida head back north.

Will my Florida car pass a Massachusetts inspection?

Window tint is the thing to check. The inspector puts a meter on the glass and fails aftermarket film that reads under 35%, while Florida allows front side windows down to 28% and the back ones darker still, so a car tinted to the Florida limit won’t pass. Massachusetts gives no grace period to register and then only seven days to pass, which leaves little room to sort it out after the car arrives, so if your car has aftermarket film, find out what it reads before it ships, while you can still have it changed at a shop you know. Tint that came from the factory doesn’t count against it.

When is the busiest time to ship a car north from Florida?

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.

What does a car need after it arrives in Massachusetts?

If the move makes you a Massachusetts resident, these are the state's rules for the car.

Deadline
Register the car as soon as you become a Massachusetts resident. There is no grace period.
Insurance
A licensed Massachusetts insurance agent completes and stamps the registration application, so the Massachusetts policy comes first.
Inspection
A safety inspection within 7 days of registering and every year after, with an emissions test for cars under 15 years old. Aftermarket window tint under 35% fails.
Tax
6.25% use tax on a car bought out of state and brought in within 6 months, less tax paid to a state that gives Massachusetts the same credit. A car used only outside Massachusetts for 6 months or more before arriving owes none, unless it was bought for use in Massachusetts.

How the contribution works →

Common questions, plainly answered.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Florida to Massachusetts?

Shipping a car from Florida to Massachusetts costs between $950 and $1,450 for open transport. Enclosed transport costs about 40 to 70% more. Naples to Boston sits at the bottom of that range.

How long does it take to ship a car from Florida to Massachusetts?

Shipping a car from Florida to Massachusetts takes an estimated 3 to 5 days. Jacksonville is about 1,150 miles from Boston and Miami nearly 1,500, almost all of it up I-95, and the time on the truck depends on how many other cars the driver collects and drops on the way north.

Is my car insured during transport?

Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.

What if my car is damaged?

If you find damage at delivery, note it on the bill of lading before signing. We will manage the claim with the carrier from there.

Can I put stuff in my car when shipping?

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.

How do I ship a car?

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.

When am I charged?

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.

Can I cancel my order?

You can cancel for free up to 7 days before pickup. After that, the deposit is non-refundable.
