Dave H · Florida → Syracuse“I can’t say enough good things about Vito and Empire Auto. I had an accident out of state, my car wasn’t drivable, and I needed it back over 400 miles away. Vito made the whole process flawless and kept me in the loop every step of the way. So grateful.”

Nicolle Flores · Verified customerRequest one on our website with three things — your pickup city, your delivery city, and the type of vehicle. We will price it and send your quote back for you to accept online.
We run between the Northeast and Florida every week, both ways:
Picking up somewhere other than Florida? We can usually arrange any weekday, Monday through Friday. Florida pickups stay on those Tuesday and Wednesday run days. Most trips take three to five days.
When we send your quote, you will get a link to accept it online. Accepting books your car and sets up your customer portal, where you pick your preferred pickup date — no back-and-forth emails. Then, about a week before your pickup date, we reach out to reconfirm the day and the details with you.
Log in to your customer portal any time to see your booking and where it stands. We will also text and email you at each step — when your car is picked up, on the road, and delivered.
You can pay online in your customer portal with a credit or debit card, or pay the driver at pickup or delivery with cash, check, Venmo (3% fee), or Zelle. If someone else is receiving the car for you, paying online ahead of time keeps it simple.
Yes. Drop your car off at one of our terminals and you will get $50 off:
We come as close to your door as we safely can. Some spots are not truck-friendly, so we may ask you to meet us at a nearby location that is. If you do not have a ride to or from that spot, the driver can bring you home in your own car — just know that short trip is not covered by our insurance.
We can only carry vehicles by law, so we do not take inventory of personal items and cannot be responsible for them. If you do leave a few things, please follow these rules:
Please also keep your fuel at a quarter tank or lower — it helps us get through DOT weigh stations without delays.
Take your toll device off the car before pickup. If it scans on the road, your account could be charged. If that happens we can give you paperwork to dispute it, but we are not responsible for the charge.
Anything that is not factory or stock — aftermarket mods, tire covers, and other loose parts — can shift or come off during transport and is not covered. Please take those off before your car ships.
Your vehicle is handled with care. We cannot cover damage from things outside our control — weather, fire, flooding, or objects coming off the road or sky. Please check your car and report any damage right away at pickup or delivery. We do not cover minor damage under $250, so we can stay focused on anything affecting how your car runs or its safety.
Yes, and there are no fees for either. We only ask that you give us as much notice as you can, so we have time to adjust the run.

Empire Auto Transportation Group INC · Updated August 2026
Every quote is based on the route, vehicle, and dates you give us. The price can change if those details change, or if a pickup or delivery spot is hard for a truck to reach. Your booking is set once you accept your quote online and we schedule it. About a week before pickup, we reach out to reconfirm the day and the details with you.
When you request a quote or create an account, you agree to receive text messages and emails from Empire Auto Transportation Group about your quote and shipment - things like scheduling, pickup, and delivery updates. Message and data rates may apply and message frequency varies. Reply STOP to any text to opt out, or HELP for help, and you can also turn texts off any time in your customer portal.
You can pay online in your customer portal with a credit or debit card, or pay the driver at pickup or delivery with cash, check, Venmo (3% fee), or Zelle. Drop your car off at one of our terminals in East Syracuse or Ontario and you save $50.
You can cancel or reschedule at no charge - there are no cancellation or rescheduling fees. We only ask that you give us as much notice as you can, so we can adjust the run.
We run between the Northeast and Florida every week. Heading to Florida, we pick up Thursday and Friday and usually deliver the following Tuesday. Coming back to the Northeast, we pick up Tuesday and Wednesday and usually deliver that Friday or the following Monday. These dates are estimates, not guarantees - weather, traffic, and road rules can move them by a day or two. Most trips take three to five days.
The driver checks your vehicle at pickup and again at delivery, and you both sign a report called the Bill of Lading. Please be there, or send someone you trust, for both. Look the report over before you sign it, and report any damage to us right away.
By law we can only carry vehicles, so please empty your car before pickup. If you do leave a few things: nothing in the driver or front passenger seat or under the seats; keep back-seat items below the window line and out of sight; no plants (they are illegal to carry across state lines); and nothing time-sensitive like medication in case of a delay. A car packed beyond this may add a $100 fee. Please also keep your fuel at a quarter tank or lower. We do not take inventory of items inside and are not responsible for them.
Aftermarket modifications, tire covers, and other loose or non-factory parts can shift or come off during transport and are not covered - please remove them first. Take any toll device, such as an E-ZPass, off the car before pickup. If it scans on the road your account could be charged, and we are not responsible for that charge.
Your vehicle is covered by carrier insurance while it is in transport. Any damage must be noted on the delivery report and reported to us right away. We are not responsible for normal wear, existing mechanical issues, items left inside, or damage from things outside our control such as weather, fire, flooding, or objects coming off the road or sky. We do not provide compensation for minor damage under $250.
These terms follow the laws of the State of New York.
This is a plain summary of our standard terms. The full terms are in the transport agreement you sign before shipping. Questions? Call (315) 488-2523 or email dispatch@empirets.com.
