Florida handles more vehicle shipments than almost any other state.

We Will Transport It coordinates licensed carriers across the state, from Miami and Jacksonville to Tampa, Orlando, and the Panhandle, and handles the logistics so you do not have to make a single call to a carrier directly.

Florida Car Shipping Services
Car Transport Tailored for You
When it comes to car transport, no two jobs are exactly alike. We design our car shipping service to match your schedule, budget, and vehicle needs. You can choose between open car haulers for affordable transport or enclosed car shipping for extra protection.
Our car hauling network covers both in state and cross country car shipping, allowing you to ship a car to another state or bring one into Florida without stress. Whether you need direct haul or central transport scheduling, we have the options to make your move work.
Florida Car Shipping Services
Open Trailer Car Transport
Open car transport is the most common and most affordable way to ship a vehicle in Florida. Your car rides on a standard multi-car hauler, the same type used by dealerships and auto auctions. For most vehicles on most routes, open transport is the right call.
Enclosed Trailer Car Transport
Enclosed car transport puts your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer with protection from road debris, sun exposure, and Florida’s summer rain. We recommend enclosed shipping for classic cars, luxury vehicles, exotics, and any vehicle with a high value or paint work that needs protection.
Door-to-Door Delivery
We pick up and deliver to the addresses you specify, not a terminal. Door-to-door service eliminates the hassle of finding a drop-off location and adds flexibility to your schedule.
Inoperable Vehicle Transport
We can ship non-running vehicles using trailers equipped with winch and lift capabilities. Let us know your vehicle does not start when you request your quote so we can assign the right carrier.
Snowbird Car Shipping
Every year, thousands of seasonal residents ship their vehicles between Florida and states in the Northeast and Midwest. We handle this corridor constantly, which means better carrier availability, faster dispatch, and more competitive pricing on routes like Florida to New York, Florida to Michigan, and Florida to Ohio. If you ship the same car back and forth each year, ask about repeat customer pricing.
How Our Car Shipping Process Works
Booking with our car shipping company is simple. You reach out for a car shipping quote online or by phone at (855) 600-1118, and we collect details about your pickup and drop off points, the type of vehicle, and your preferred transport method.
We assign a car hauler through central dispatch or arrange a direct haul if speed is your priority. When the carrier arrives, we get your vehicle onto the trailer, lock it down tight, and transport the car to its destination. Our car transport services cover every mile until delivery, whether you choose to ship cars across the state or to another part of the country.
We designed our process to be straightforward from the first call to final delivery.

- We match you with a carrier. Our dispatch team searches our network of licensed Florida auto transport carriers and confirms pickup within 1 to 5 business days depending on route and availability.

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car in Florida?
Car shipping costs depend on four main variables: distance, vehicle size, trailer type, and time of year. Florida’s snowbird season (October through March) brings higher demand on routes to and from the Northeast and Midwest, which can push prices up. Booking 2 to 4 weeks in advance helps lock in better rates during peak windows.
The table below shows 2026 estimated ranges for the most common Florida routes using open transport. Enclosed transport typically adds 40 to 60 percent to these figures.
|
Route |
Distance (approx.) | Estimated Open Transport Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Florida to New York | 1,280 miles | $850 to $1,250 |
| Florida to California | 2,750 miles | $1,200 to $1,750 |
| Florida to Texas | 1,250 miles | $800 to $1,150 |
| Florida to Illinois | 1,300 miles | $850 to $1,200 |
| Florida to Michigan | 1,375 miles | $875 to $1,250 |
| Florida to Ohio | 1,100 miles | $800 to $1,100 |
| Florida to Georgia | 350 miles | $400 to $600 |
| Within Florida (under 400 miles) | Varies | $300 to $550 |
These are market estimates based on current carrier rates. Your actual quote depends on your specific pickup and delivery addresses, vehicle condition, and requested ship date. Call (855) 600-1118 or get your personalized quote here.
Florida Snowbird Car Shipping: What You Need to Know
Florida’s snowbird season is one of the busiest periods in the auto transport industry. From October through March, hundreds of thousands of seasonal residents arrive in Florida from colder states, and many of them ship their vehicles rather than drive the full route. The return north in spring creates equal demand in the opposite direction.
The most active snowbird corridors we see year after year:
- Florida to and from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut
- Florida to and from Michigan and Ohio
- Florida to and from Indiana and Illinois
- Florida to and from Pennsylvania
If your timing is flexible, we recommend scheduling your snowbird shipment 3 to 6 weeks ahead of your target pickup date. Carrier availability tightens quickly on these routes in December and January heading south, and again in March and April heading north. Early booking also locks in better pricing before seasonal demand peaks.
Florida Routes and Service Areas
We serve every part of Florida, including major metros and smaller communities. Below are the routes and cities our customers book most often.
Miami and South Florida
Miami is one of the highest-volume auto transport hubs in the country. Proximity to Port Everglades and PortMiami means the area also handles international vehicle moves. We regularly ship cars to and from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach.
Orlando and Central Florida
Central Florida’s location makes it a natural hub for mid-state pickups and deliveries. We ship frequently from Orlando to destinations in the Midwest and along the East Coast.
Tampa and St. Petersburg
The Tampa Bay area generates strong demand on routes to Texas, Georgia, and the Carolinas. We handle both open and enclosed shipments from Tampa and St. Petersburg.
Jacksonville
Jacksonville sits near the Georgia border and is a common starting or ending point for vehicles coming from the Southeast. Its port connections also support military auto transport moves through NAS Jacksonville.
Fort Myers and the Southwest Coast
Fort Myers and Naples are popular snowbird destinations with high seasonal demand. We recommend early booking for pickups in this area during peak winter months.

How much does it cost to ship a car to Florida?
Most customers shipping a car to Florida pay between $800 and $1,750 for open transport, depending on distance, vehicle size, and time of year. Enclosed transport runs higher. Florida’s snowbird season (October to March) brings increased demand and higher rates on Northeast-to-Florida routes. Booking early reduces both cost and wait time.
How long does it take to ship a car to or from Florida?
Transit time depends on distance. Shipments under 500 miles typically take 1 to 3 days. Routes between 500 and 1,500 miles usually take 3 to 6 days. Cross-country moves over 1,500 miles can take 6 to 10 days. These are transit times after pickup, not total lead time from booking.
What is the best way to ship a car from Florida?
For most vehicles, open transport on a multi-car hauler is the most practical and affordable option. It is the same method used to transport new vehicles from manufacturers to dealerships. If your vehicle is a classic, luxury, or exotic car, enclosed transport offers complete weather and debris protection and is worth the added cost.
Do you ship non-running vehicles in Florida?
Yes. We ship inoperable vehicles using carriers equipped with winch and lift gate capabilities. Disclose the non-running condition when you request your quote so we assign the right equipment from the start.
Can I keep belongings in the car during shipping?
Most carriers allow up to 100 pounds of personal items stored below the window line. Items left in the vehicle are not covered by carrier insurance, so avoid leaving anything valuable. Check with us when you book and we will confirm the specific carrier’s policy.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with maintains active cargo and liability insurance throughout your shipment. Ask us for a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before your pickup date if you want documentation on file.
Do you offer door-to-door car shipping in Florida?
Yes. We pick up from and deliver to the specific addresses you provide, not a terminal. In some urban areas with restricted street access, the driver may need to meet you at a nearby open lot, but we coordinate that with you in advance.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes, all carriers we work with include insurance coverage during transit.
How do I prepare my car for shipping?
Remove personal items above 100 pounds, check fluid levels, disable aftermarket alarms and remove toll transponders, leave about a quarter tank of gas, and photograph the entire vehicle before pickup. Your driver will complete a condition report at pickup. Compare it to the vehicle’s condition at delivery.
What areas of Florida do you serve?
We service the entire state of Florida, from the Panhandle to the Keys – including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Fort Myers, Naples, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Kissimmee, Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Gainesville, and all surrounding communities.
Can you ship a car from Florida to another state?
Yes. We provide both in-state moves within Florida and cross-country auto transport from Florida to any U.S. state. Popular outbound routes include Florida to New York, Florida to California, Florida to Texas, and Florida to Michigan.
