Car Shipping Across Florida
City-by-city shipping notes
Florida is a long state: Pensacola to Key West is about 830 miles. Here’s what to know about the cities we ship to and from most:
Jacksonville
Florida’s largest city by area, where I-95 and I-10 meet. A gateway for nearly every lane in and out of the state.
Miami
The end of the line on I-95. Condo towers and tight streets mean we often meet at a garage entrance or open lot.
Tampa
On I-75 and I-4, so it ties straight into Georgia, Ohio and Midwest lanes.
Orlando
Central Florida’s crossroads on I-4 and the Turnpike. Many families moving to the area ship a second car here.
Port St. Lucie
One of Florida’s fastest-growing cities, on I-95 and the Turnpike along the Treasure Coast.
St. Petersburg
Across the bay from Tampa. Lots of seasonal residents, so winter demand is real here.
Cape Coral
Southwest Florida off I-75. Canal-front neighborhoods have narrow streets, so plan a nearby meeting spot.
Hialeah
Next to Miami, close to the Palmetto Expressway, which keeps pickups fairly quick.
Tallahassee
The capital, on I-10. Move-ins and move-outs follow the Florida State and FAMU calendars.
Fort Lauderdale
Broward County on I-95. A big snowbird and boat-owner market with plenty of high-end cars.

Snowbird Season in Florida
Every fall, thousands of people from New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Canada head to Florida for the winter, and in spring they head home. Most would rather fly than drive 1,000 miles twice a year, so they ship the car. That makes October through December and March through May the busiest months on Florida lanes.
If you’re a snowbird, book a few weeks ahead of your travel date and you’ll have more carriers to choose from. See snowbird car shipping for more on timing.
Open or Enclosed in Florida?
Open transport works well for most cars. Florida also has a lot of classic, collector and exotic cars, and it gets heavy afternoon storms most of the summer. For a high-value car, enclosed transport keeps it out of the rain, salt air and road debris for the whole trip.
Florida Questions
When is the busiest time to ship a car to Florida?
Fall, when snowbirds head south, and spring, when they head back north. Prices and pickup windows can tighten in those months, so book early if you can. Your quote reflects the season you’re shipping in.
Does hurricane season affect car shipping in Florida?
It can. Hurricane season runs June through November. If a storm is heading for your area, the carrier may move your pickup or delivery for safety. We’ll let you know if that happens.
I’m moving to Florida. What do I need to do with my car?
Florida asks new residents to register their car within 10 days of becoming a resident, and out-of-state vehicles need a VIN verification when they’re first titled in Florida. Check FLHSMV or your county tax collector for the details.
How much does it cost to ship a car to Florida?
It depends on where it’s coming from, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. We don’t post made-up averages. Get an exact quote or call (424) 453-1800.
