About Shipping in Miami
Miami, Florida is a major international gateway at the southeastern tip of the continental United States. PortMiami is one of the busiest vehicle export ports, serving Latin American and Caribbean markets. The city's large snowbird population and international appeal create year-round high demand for vehicle shipping.
Seasonal demand peaks from October through April as snowbirds relocate vehicles south for winter. I-95 is the primary carrier route along the Atlantic coast, while I-75 connects to the Gulf side. Hurricane season from June through November may occasionally disrupt shipping schedules.
