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!!!
Professional service and reasonable price considering they had to winch my car on the trailer.

The carriers that run long distance are too big for most city streets, so New York keeps them to a network of truck routes, and a city pickup usually happens a short walk from your door rather than right outside it. The tolls the truck pays to get into the city are already in your quote. Once your car is loaded and out on the interstate, it’s like any other long-distance shipment, and a lot of them head south, since Florida is one of the three states New Yorkers move to most and New York to Miami is one of the busiest car-hauling runs in the country.
Usually on an avenue or in a parking lot a few blocks from your address, somewhere the truck is allowed to stop. The city runs nearly 1,000 miles of truck routes and lets a truck leave them only for the last stretch to its stop, while the parkways, from the FDR and the Henry Hudson to the Belt, are closed to commercial vehicles altogether. So if you’re in Park Slope or on the Upper West Side, expect to bring the car a few blocks. If it lives in a garage with a tight ramp or a low ceiling, mention that when you book, since it will need to be driven out to the truck.
One percent of every booking goes to Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit working on policy and technology to clean up transport and energy emissions.

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.
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.
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.
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.
