Located in northeastern Palm Beach County, Florida, Jupiter is one of the most northern suburbs of the Miami metropolitan area and a popular coastal town in southern Florida. Home to over 55,000 residents, Jupiter is a seaside town and was rated as one of the ten-happiest coastal cities in the United States.
The area that today is known as Jupiter has been inhabited by Europeans and peoples of European descent since the mid-19th century, and the famous Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse was built in 1860. The city itself would not be incorporated until 1925.
Today, Jupiter is a popular resort town and is also the home of both the Miami Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals Spring Training Camps, as well as the Palm Beach International Raceway, used in NHRA and IHRA events.

Auto Transport Tips to Jupiter
Jupiter sits a bit north of West Palm Beach, a popular auto transport location for snowbirds. If you don’t know, snowbirds are customers that ship down to Florida or other southern states during the fall and winter months to escape the brutal northern winters. During the spring and early summer, they ship back north, to avoid the brutal southern summers.
This way they enjoy mild climates year-round in beautiful locations, though this type of lifestyle is expensive. Despite its extravagance, it’s this type of customer that keeps the carriers moving during the slow season, which is definitely good for business.
Since Jupiter is a popular snowbird destination, during the fall and early winter a lot of shippers are readjusting their routes to accommodate the rise in snowbirds. This means that more routes into and out of the Miami metro area are open, which means more competition on the routes and thus lower prices for you.
Miami is one of the most popular auto transport locations in the entire country, which means good deals year-round, though during the snowbird season, roughly August to November, is prime time for getting into and out of Jupiter.
Of course, you’ll want to discuss it with an auto transport representative, as the car shipping industry is definitely finicky and prone to wild swings at the drop of a hat, at least in terms of price. As gas prices fluctuate and car shippers go from city to city, pickup windows change and prices get adjusted almost every day.
