Factors that Affect Florida Shipping Prices

Distance

The farther your car travels, the more you’ll pay. However, longer trips often cost less per mile than shorter ones.

Route

Shipping along major highways is cheaper and faster. Rural or off-the-beaten-path routes cost more due to limited carrier access.

Season

Summer and snowbird season drive prices up. Shipping during slower months, like fall or early spring, can save you money.

Vehicle Type

Larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks take up more space and use more fuel. Expect to pay more than you would for a standard sedan.

Traffic Patterns

Busy travel weeks, like Thanksgiving, can slow down delivery times. Booking during lighter traffic windows helps keep costs and delays down.

Carrier Availability

During peak season, carriers fill up fast. You may wait longer for pickup, so book early to lock in your preferred dates.

Open vs Enclosed

Open trailers are the most affordable option. Enclosed trailers offer extra protection but cost more — ideal for luxury or classic cars.

Population Density

Shipping to or from a busy city can cost more. Dense urban areas have more traffic and tighter access for large carriers.

TIPS & TRICKS

Tips & Tricks for Saving on Vehicle Shipping

Off Season Savings

Car shipping rates drop during the off-season. Even shifting your shipment by a few weeks can lead to real savings. Avoid peak moving seasons like summer and major holidays to get the best rates.

Flexible Pickup & Delivery

Choosing a five-day window for pickup and delivery can lower your shipping cost. Carriers can plan routes more easily with flexible dates, which means more options and better pricing for you.

Hub City Advantages

For pickups and drop-offs in Florida, choose a location near major highways. Spots close to I-95 or near Miami attract more carriers, giving you more options and more competitive rates on your shipment.

Open Trailers

Open trailers cost less than enclosed trailers and work well for most standard vehicles. If your car doesn’t need extra protection from the elements, an open trailer is the smart, budget-friendly choice.

Florida Vehicle Transport FAQs

How do I prepare my vehicle for transit to/from FL? +
Remove personal belongings and document existing damage with photos. Ensure your gas tank is about a quarter full, and disable SunPass to avoid toll charges on Florida's Turnpike or I-4.
Is my vehicle insured transporting from Florida? +
Yes, your vehicle is fully insured against any transit damage on their way into or out of the Sunshine State. Every carrier is required to maintain active cargo insurance.
How far out should I schedule my pickup service in Florida? +
Particularly during snowbird season when many move to Florida, booking 2-4 weeks ahead is crucial. For other times of the year, 1-2 weeks is generally sufficient.
How do I pay for my auto transport? +
No payment is due at booking. You provide a card to secure a carrier, with the remaining balance paid upon delivery in Florida using cash or a certified check.
Can I pack personal items inside my vehicle? +
Your shipment generally includes up to 100 lbs of personal items stored in the trunk area. But be aware the humid Florida weather might affect certain sensitive items left inside.
Do I need to be present at both pickup and delivery? +
Yes, you or a trusted adult must be present for pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle carefully, especially looking for any debris from sudden Florida storms, and to sign the Bill of Lading.
What's the difference between Open vs Enclosed Auto Transport? +
Open transport is the most affordable method. Enclosed transport is perfect to protect against Florida's unpredictable thunderstorms and coastal salt air, making it ideal for luxury or classic cars.
