Are you offering airfare down there and gas/hotels the way back? Any payment also?

Eta- what car model and year? I assume the driver is covered by your insurance?

Not airfare...
Not to much payment..
Just wanted to see if there was anybody in FL that is going up to NY anyways, will pay for gas, tolls and one night in a hotel, and then a little compensation. But I can almost hire a car transport if I need to fly someone down here, plus then I don't get the wear and tear on the car. Not that it's the best car anyways

How much is a car transport? Airfare is just a few thousand BA miles

I would do it for $350 and 3 days to drive it. 10 hours a day is a bit much by myself...

Not sure what type of car you have but assuming it gets 30mpg that's about $200 in gas and maybe $100 wear and tear on the car which adds up to approximately $650 which is from what I saw $400 cheaper that a transport company.

All these prices are without knowing the make of your car and I was generous with the estimations.

Eta- this is all assuming availability...

I did Orlando - Monsey in one sitting. Never again!

A3 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2013, 11:11:06 PM »

Well I'm leaving this sat night. Myself. Hope to be in NY by sun night.
Then again next week with a truck and a car attached to it. Flying in my bro in law to drive with me

Good Luck!
I am so sick of doing any driving more than 1 or 2 hours. I am even flying to Boston from NY next week as i cannot stand that 3 hour drive.

Thanks. Made it in Just under 22 hours. With stopping to rest for two hours, a couple coffee breaks and two big traffic jams.

Wow. That's one thing I'll never be able to do. I think 10 hours is usually my limit.

I've done the drive numerous times between YYZ and MIA. It's not so hard. 2 days tops. And I even did it in a rear wheel drive sports car in the snow....a little scary but still not a hard drive.

22 hours straight is pretty impressive though. The longest I sat was for 14 hours but that was with a one hour stop that took me off course for other reasons. The car makes a big difference though as some cars even fancy ones will cripple you for a couple of days if you sit too long in them.

Also it helps if you can map out the cities on the route that will have kosher available. On the YYZ-MIA route I've begun stopping in Pittsburg for food. Only takes you 20 minutes off course but it beats having to eat sandwiches all the way down.
