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.
We had to send the car back to the dealership in Georgia and Sequoia did a really great job for us. Highly recommended!!!
I'm really happy with the service!!! Fili is a really nice person and a professional.

A New Jersey car that spent the winter in Florida on its own plates comes home already registered, so the one date worth checking before it ships is on the inspection sticker. This road is at its busiest in May and June, when the winter crowd heads home, and the chart below shows how the market moves through the rest of the year.
Call the MVC for an extension before the sticker expires, because it won’t give one afterwards. A New Jersey car spending the winter in a state with its own emissions test is meant to be tested there first, but Florida doesn’t test, so for a car down here the call is all it takes. The extension is granted once, and it stays in the car to show the police if it’s stopped.
Often the easier way is to deal with it before the car goes south at all, since New Jersey will inspect a car up to two months before its sticker runs out, and a date that falls in December or January can be cleared in the autumn. Either way the MVC wants the car insured in New Jersey, which is one more reason to keep the New Jersey policy running all winter, because dropping it on a car that’s still registered here brings a suspension notice.
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% |

Shipping a car from Florida to New Jersey costs between $850 and $1,300 for open transport. Orlando to Newark sits at the low end.
Shipping a car from Florida to New Jersey takes an estimated 3 to 5 days. Orlando is about 1,070 miles from Newark and Miami about 1,270, nearly all of it up I-95, and the stops the driver makes for other cars on the way decide where in that range yours arrives.
Only the difference, if you paid Florida's tax at the dealer. A Florida dealer charges a New Jersey resident Florida's 6%, and when the car is registered New Jersey credits that against its own 6.625% and collects the rest, so keep the receipt that shows the Florida tax. New Jersey treats you as a resident for this even if you also keep a home in Florida.
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.
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.
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 price holds for 28 days either way.
Open transport is the standard choice for most vehicles. Enclosed transport costs 40 to 70% more and is appropriate for high-value vehicles, classics, low-clearance sports cars, and any car where weather exposure or road debris is a real concern.
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.
