Florida Car Shipping
Car Shipping To, From & Within Florida
Florida is one of the busiest car shipping states in the country. People move here year-round, and every fall snowbirds from the Northeast and Midwest ship their cars south for the winter — then back home again in the spring.
Whether you're relocating to Miami or Orlando, wintering in Naples or The Villages, sending a car to a student in Gainesville or Tallahassee, or moving with the military to Jacksonville or Pensacola, we match your vehicle with a vetted, insured carrier already running your route.
Every Florida shipment is door-to-door, comes with a final-price quote, and has $0 due at booking.

In-State Transport
Shipping a Car Within Florida
Florida is bigger than most people think — Pensacola to Miami is about 670 miles. I-95 runs down the Atlantic coast, I-75 follows the Gulf side through Tampa and Southwest Florida, I-4 connects Tampa and Orlando, I-10 crosses the Panhandle, and Florida's Turnpike links Central and South Florida.
In-state moves are common between South Florida, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville. Most trips within Florida take about 1 to 3 days after pickup.

Florida Car Shipping Tips
A few Florida-specific things that can affect your shipment.
Moving to Florida?
New residents must register their vehicles within 10 days of establishing residency, and out-of-state vehicles need a VIN verification, which can be done by law enforcement, a licensed Florida dealer, or a tax collector's office. Check FLHSMV for current requirements.
Snowbird Season
Southbound demand into Florida peaks October through December, and northbound peaks in late March and April. Book 2 to 4 weeks ahead — and consider shipping just before or after the rush to save.
Hurricane Season
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. When a storm threatens, carriers may pause pickups and deliveries for safety, so build in some flexibility.
Military Moves
We ship vehicles for service members at NAS Jacksonville, NAS Pensacola, Eglin AFB, MacDill AFB, and other Florida installations.
Pricing
How Much Does Florida Car Shipping Cost?
Here's what determines the price of shipping a car to, from, or within Florida.
Direction & Season
Shipping into Florida in the fall — or out in the spring — runs with the snowbird rush and typically costs more.
Distance & Route
I-95 and I-75 are two of the busiest car shipping corridors in the country, which keeps most routes efficient.
Location
Major metros have the most trucks. The Keys, gated communities, and remote addresses can take longer to schedule.
Open or Enclosed
Open transport is the most affordable. Enclosed costs more but protects against sun, salt air, and storms.
Vehicle Size
Full-size trucks and SUVs take more trailer space and weight capacity than sedans.
Pickup Flexibility
A flexible pickup window gives us more carriers to choose from — which usually means a better price.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
Some companies advertise a low number to win your booking, then raise it once your car is waiting on a truck. We don't. The price we quote is the price you pay — with $0 due when you book.

FAQ
Florida Car Shipping FAQs
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Florida?
The price depends on distance, route, vehicle size, open or enclosed transport, season, and how flexible your dates are. Shipping with the snowbird rush typically costs more than shipping against it. Request a free quote and we'll give you a final price — not an estimate that changes later.
How long does car shipping to or from Florida take?
It depends mostly on distance. Trips from the Northeast or Midwest usually take about 3 to 6 days after pickup, while coast-to-coast routes like Orlando to Los Angeles commonly take about 6 to 10 days.
When should I book snowbird car shipping to Florida?
Book 2 to 4 weeks before your preferred pickup date. Southbound demand peaks from October through December, so earlier is better.
How long do I have to register my car after moving to Florida?
New residents must register within 10 days of establishing residency. Out-of-state vehicles also need a VIN verification. Check FLHSMV or your county tax collector for current requirements.
Do you ship cars within Florida?
Yes. We handle in-state moves like Miami to Orlando, Tampa to Jacksonville, or the Panhandle to South Florida. Every shipment is door-to-door.
Can you deliver to a gated or 55+ community in Florida?
Usually, yes. If a full-size carrier can't enter your community or reach your street, your driver will call ahead and arrange to meet at a nearby open area. Let us know about any gate or HOA rules when you book.
Does hurricane season affect car shipping in Florida?
It can. When a storm threatens, carriers may delay pickups or deliveries for safety. Keeping your dates flexible between June and November helps.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with is required to carry active cargo insurance. Your vehicle's condition is documented on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the vehicle are not covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can either pay a small deposit and the remaining balance directly to the driver at delivery, or pay in full at that point so nothing is due at delivery.
