Door-to-door vehicle transport from Newark, NJ to Tampa, FL — the Jersey-to-Gulf-Coast snowbird alternative for shippers who want Florida’s quieter west coast over the Miami metro.

Open and enclosed carriers both available. Pickup throughout New Jersey — Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, Bergen County, Middlesex, Monmouth, and the Jersey Shore. Delivery throughout Tampa Bay metro — downtown Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, Lakewood Ranch, plus Sarasota and the Gulf Coast south to Fort Myers.

“Relocated to Tampa for work. Carriers can’t get into downtown Jersey City so they met me at a Turnpike rest stop. My Tesla arrived in Tampa in perfect shape four days later. Clean experience all around.”

Kevin O.

★★★★★

“Retired from the Jersey Shore to St. Pete. They picked up from our 55+ community and delivered to our new place in the Old Northeast neighborhood. Pricing held firm through snowbird season — appreciated that.”
