Shipping a Car To or From Florida
Florida car shipping is the process of moving a vehicle to or from any city in Florida using a licensed, federally authorized carrier instead of driving it yourself. Florida is one of the busiest auto transport markets in the country, driven by seasonal snowbird moves, relocations, and vehicle purchases. That high volume usually means strong carrier availability, though demand and pricing shift sharply with the season.
Short answer: Regional moves to the Southeast often take a few days, while routes to the Northeast or Midwest typically run about a week, depending on distance and the time of year. Open transport is the affordable standard; enclosed transport suits luxury and classic vehicles. Request a route-specific quote for an accurate price and timeframe.
Who ships cars to and from Florida
Snowbirds moving south for the winter and back north in spring are a defining part of Florida shipping, along with retirees relocating, families, students, dealers, and online buyers. Metro demand centers on Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Fort Lauderdale.
Florida routes and timing
Florida is served by I-95 along the east coast, I-75 up the Gulf side, I-4 across the center through Orlando and Tampa, I-10 in the panhandle, and the Florida Turnpike. Snowbird season - roughly October to December southbound and March to May northbound - tightens availability and raises prices on the busiest lanes, so booking early helps. Hurricane season can also affect schedules, and routes to New York and the Northeast are especially heavy.
HOW CAR SHIPPING WORKS IN FLORIDA?
Get a route-specific planning estimate, then review the written terms before booking.
What to Consider When Shipping a Car in Florida
The biggest Florida-specific factor is timing. Snowbird season sends a wave of vehicles south in the fall and back north in the spring, which tightens carrier availability and raises prices on the busiest lanes - booking a couple of weeks ahead helps you secure a better rate and window. Hurricane season (June through November) can also occasionally affect coastal schedules.
The other key choice is transport type. Open transport is the affordable, common option that handles Florida's climate fine for everyday vehicles, while enclosed transport adds protection from sun, salt air, and weather for luxury, exotic, and classic cars. If your vehicle is not running, mention it up front so the carrier brings winch equipment.

What customers say about shipping a car with Bold Auto Transport
”
I am actually a driver for Hauling Crew LLC. From a transporters perspective, they are quick to answer the phone, always available. And fast at taking care of things to have the vehicle readily available for transport. This is very important to get your vehicle delivered to you the fastest and safest way possible. If you ever want to know how well a Shipping Broker is, just try calling their dispatch line. If some companies don't answer the phone, we'll then most likely they ain't answer my call either. Bold Auto Transport is there to help and get it delivered. 5 stars!

The service was amazing. I called and spoke to someone on a Sunday. They took the order and I told them I wouldn't pay the deposit until they confirmed a driver. They called in Tuesday with a driver and our car was picked up from Boston that Friday, as we requested. The car was delivered to Florida that Sunday and everything was perfect. So happy and will use the service again.

FAQs
Florida Car Shipping FAQs
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Florida?
Cost depends on distance, vehicle size, open vs enclosed transport, whether the vehicle runs, your locations, and especially the season. Snowbird-season demand on lanes like Florida to the Northeast can raise prices, so request a route-specific quote for an accurate number.
How long does Florida car shipping take?
Regional Southeast moves often take a few days, while routes to the Northeast or Midwest usually run about a week. Timing is confirmed once a carrier is assigned, and peak season can add a day or two.
When is the cheapest time to ship a car to or from Florida?
Outside the peak snowbird windows. Demand and prices climb southbound in the fall and northbound in the spring, so shipping in the off-season and booking with lead time usually costs less.
Can I ship a non-running vehicle to or from Florida?
Yes. Inoperable vehicles can ship with special loading equipment such as a winch - disclose it when you request a quote so the right carrier is dispatched.
Can I leave personal items in the car during transport?
It is best not to. Carriers are licensed to move vehicles, not household goods, and loose items add weight and risk. Remove valuables and toll transponders before pickup.
