NYC pickup — depends entirely on which borough
This page covers any NYC-area pickup going to Naples. Reuse the right pickup guide based on where you are:
- Manhattan: Meet-point required for almost every address.
- Brooklyn: Mixed. Most blocks need meet-point; Marine Park / Bay Ridge / industrial waterfront work.
- Queens: Most accessible NYC borough.
- Long Island: Driveway pickup typical.
- Westchester: Driveway pickup typical.
- Bronx: Mixed. Most accessible via the Major Deegan / I-87 corridor lots.
- Staten Island: Generally accessible. Goethals / Outerbridge / Bayonne Bridge access for carrier exit.
Naples delivery — what makes SW Florida unique
The geography
- I-75 "Alligator Alley" is the only east-west highway connecting Miami to Naples.
- No through-traffic. Naples is a destination — nothing past it but Everglades and Marco Island.
- Many carriers structure FL runs to end in Naples, then deadhead back. The economics push Naples pricing slightly higher than Miami.
Pelican Bay / Pelican Marsh / Bay Colony
North Naples luxury communities. Gates are well-managed for transport trucks with prior notice. Some addresses are inside golf-course community sub-gates — the carrier may unload at the community entrance.
Port Royal / Aqualane Shores / Old Naples
South Naples waterfront mansions. Some streets too narrow for a 75-ft carrier. Meet-point at a North Naples lot common. Worth coordinating in advance.
Mediterra / Quail West / Grey Oaks / Talis Park / TwinEagles
Master-planned luxury golf communities. All accommodate trucks at the main gate. Some have internal gates between neighborhoods — the carrier may need to be escorted by the homeowner or property staff.
Marco Island
Across the Marco River bridge from mainland Collier. Bridge has weight limits — some carriers refuse Marco Island and meet at a mainland lot (Goodland Rd / Collier Blvd area). We tell you up front.
Bonita Springs / Estero (Lee County, just north)
Many carriers combine Naples deliveries with Bonita / Estero / Fort Myers stops. Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, Mediterra (spans Collier/Lee): accessible. Coconut Point area: easy. Fort Myers: easy carrier access.

Naples runs ~$100–$200 above Miami for the same lane due to deadhead economics. Enclosed share ~30–35%.
Estimates only. Final price depends on vehicle, season, pickup/delivery accessibility, and current carrier supply on the lane.
How the route runs
NYC → Naples carriers take I-95 South to Florida, then I-75 South (FL Turnpike → I-595 → I-75 / Alligator Alley). Typical 6-day breakdown: Day 1 NYC pickup → Days 2–3 I-95 corridor → Day 4 through SC/GA into FL → Day 5 through FL to I-75 west transition → Day 6 Naples deliveries.
Personal items: Most carriers allow up to ~100 lbs of personal items in the trunk at the driver's discretion. Items inside the vehicle are NOT covered by the carrier's cargo insurance — only the vehicle itself is. Don't ship anything you can't replace.
