Door-to-door driveaway car service for snowbirds heading to New York from Florida
Spring hits and the season flips. You flew home, or you’re about to. But your car is still sitting in the Florida driveway.
Traditional auto shippers will load it onto a truck with eight other vehicles and deliver it to a terminal somewhere in the tri-state area. Maybe in 3–7 days. Maybe longer during the March–May rush when every snowbird on the East Coast is trying to move a car north at the same time.
We do something different. One of our drivers flies down, picks up your car at your Florida address, and drives it directly to your home in New York.
The busiest northbound window runs March through May. That’s when carrier prices spike 10–20% and availability tightens across the board.
We recommend booking your spring return at the same time you book your fall trip south. Many of our customers do both legs at once, so they don’t have to think about it when April rolls around.
If you’re booking during peak season, give us at least 2–4 weeks of lead time. Off-peak (June through September), we can often accommodate shorter notice.

Most people searching for car transport from Florida to New York see the same results: big auto shipping companies that load your car onto a trailer with 8 other vehicles. We do something different. One driver, your car, door to door.
Auto transport companies deliver to a depot or parking lot somewhere in the tri-state area. You figure out how to get there and pick it up. With Cubs, we deliver your car from your Florida driveway to your New York driveway. No terminal runs on either end.
Our drivers are experienced and professional. Before departure, your vehicle gets a quick safety inspection so both you and the driver are confident the car is road-ready.
Life doesn't stick to a rigid timetable, and neither do we. We'll work around your departure plans. We serve snowbirds, retirees, students, and anyone relocating or responding to a family emergency.
We pick up from Miami to Jacksonville and everywhere in between. We deliver throughout New York State, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Gated community pickup? Just share the code.
We pick up your car anywhere in Florida. Most of our spring return trips start in South Florida, with pickups in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Naples, and Fort Myers. We also cover Sarasota, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Jacksonville, and The Villages.
We deliver to your home in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut. Whether your driveway is in Manhattan, Long Island, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, Albany, suburban New Jersey, or anywhere across Connecticut, we bring your car straight to your door.
We deliver to your driveway, not to a terminal. If you’re in a building with specific access requirements, we’ll coordinate that ahead of time.
Most people searching for car transport from Florida to New York are comparing two options: a multi-car carrier or a professional driver. Here’s how they stack up for the spring return.
Carrier shipping (the standard option) Your car gets loaded onto an open or enclosed trailer with up to 9 other vehicles. Pickup and delivery windows run 2–5 days wide. Terminal pickup is common on the New York end because full-size rigs can’t always reach residential streets in the metro area. Personal belongings are not allowed. Average cost runs $850–$1,475 depending on season and vehicle type.
Driveaway service (what we do) A single professional driver picks up your car at your Florida door and drives it to your New York door. Delivery within 24–48 hours. You can pack the car with personal items. You’ll have direct contact with your driver the entire trip. No terminal, no hand-offs, no waiting.
Auto shipping makes sense for non-running vehicles or high-value classics that need enclosed transport. For a snowbird bringing their daily driver home for the summer, a driveaway is faster, more personal, and simpler.
Getting your car from Florida back to New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut is simple. Here’s how it works. We handle every step with care, so you can relax while we take care of your car transportation needs.

Yes. That’s exactly what we do. Our driver flies to your Florida address, picks up your car, and drives it to your New York home. The drive takes roughly 18–20 hours on I-95, and we typically deliver within 24–48 hours of pickup.
Pricing depends on your exact pickup and delivery locations. Contact us for a quote. We’ll give you one number with no hidden fees.
Yes. Pack the car as full as you want, as long as nothing blocks the driver’s view. Winter clothes, household items, whatever you brought south for the season. It all comes home with the car.
Tom, the owner of Cubs Drive Car to Florida, is your personal driver. He brings 45+ years of driving experience to every trip. One driver, one car, door to door.
Your vehicle is covered under the owner’s insurance policy for the entire trip. You’re welcome to confirm coverage details with your own insurance company.
Most of our customers use us for both directions. Book both legs at the same time and you won’t have to think about it again. View our southbound service page for details on the fall trip.
Auto shippers load your car on a multi-car trailer. We assign one driver to your car, and only your car. We pick up at your Florida door and deliver to your New York door. You can pack personal items inside. Delivery is 24–48 hours vs. 3–7 days on a trailer.
It’s easier than you think. Get in touch and we’ll take care of the rest.
