Picking up in Miami for a New Mexico trip
Many Florida to New Mexico trips start in Miami-Dade, Broward or Palm Beach counties. If your street is narrow or your building has a tight entrance, the driver may ask to meet at a nearby open lot. In New Mexico, we deliver to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces and towns across the state.
Moving to New Mexico? A short checklist
- Book early if you are moving in summer.
- Remove your SunPass so it does not pick up tolls on the way.
- Keep your title and registration handy.
- After the car arrives, follow the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division steps to title and register it.
Shipping vs driving from Miami to New Mexico
Miami to Albuquerque is roughly 27 to 29 hours of driving time before stops, usually three or four days on the road across Florida, the Gulf Coast and Texas. Add fuel, hotels, meals, time off work and close to 2,000 miles on the car. If you are moving and flying, shipping the car removes the longest part of the trip.
When is the best time to ship on this route?
- Summer: the busiest moving season. Book early.
- Late summer and early fall: hurricane season can affect the Gulf Coast part of the route, so keep dates flexible.
- Fall and spring: snowbird traffic is heavier on routes to and from Florida.
- Winter: mostly good roads, though northern New Mexico can see snow.
More notice gives more options on a cross-country trip.
