Door-to-door Sarasota car shipping on I-75, with gate passes for Lakewood Ranch, enclosed on request, and University and Fruitville hand-offs for the keys.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Sarasota, the Gulf coast city where I-75 runs along the east side, Fruitville Road and Bee Ridge Road carry the traffic to the Tamiami Trail, University Parkway runs the county line to the mall, the circus museum stands on the bay, the bridges cross to Siesta Key, Lido, and Longboat, the gated communities of Lakewood Ranch fill the land east of the interstate, and the snowbirds fill the condos on the keys every November. Keys condo or Lakewood Ranch driveway, your car travels with a licensed, insured carrier we vetted before giving it the job.
I-75 runs along the east side of the city, and the lots at the mall on University Parkway can fit a 75-foot rig near the interstate. Lakewood Ranch and the gated communities east of I-75 let the truck in with a gate pass arranged at booking. The keys across the bridges, the streets west of the Tamiami Trail and the downtown towers are a poor fit for the truck, so those addresses meet it on University Parkway or Fruitville Road, at a spot fixed at booking. We handle snowbirds coming down for the season, retirees moving for good, and collector cars that travel enclosed.
Speak with a coordinator now at (866) 821-4555 for pickup at any address in Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, or Venice, or request an estimate by email through the quote calculator.
For routes beyond the Gulf coast, our Florida car shipping guide walks through the rest of the state, the snowbird months and typical prices.
We tell you on the first call that a Siesta, Lido, or Longboat address meets the truck on the mainland, and fix the lot when you book.
For Lakewood Ranch and the communities east of I-75 we get the driver on the guardhouse list before the pickup day.
Put the route, the vehicle and your dates into the quote calculator, and an estimate for your Sarasota move comes by email, with the price confirmed when a specialist calls. A single coordinator handles everything after that, from setting a mainland meeting point for a key address to the delivery inspection.
Sarasota runs from the bay and the keys east to I-75, with Lakewood Ranch beyond the interstate and University Parkway on the county line to the north. Five things set your quote:
Sarasota pickups load in a Lakewood Ranch driveway or at a mainland lot on University Parkway or Fruitville Road. Raleigh and Chicago are the middle half of our own Florida to North Carolina and Florida to Illinois open-carrier orders since 2023, and New York and Denver the middle half of our New York to Florida and Colorado to Florida open-carrier orders since 2023. For Indianapolis we use distance instead: what customers paid on moves of that length in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026.
These ranges are for a sedan on an open trailer. A full-size SUV, a pickup or a car that does not run costs more, and putting the car in an enclosed trailer adds about a third. A Sarasota estimate for your own car comes by email from the quote calculator, or call (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
Siesta, Lido, and Longboat are all reached by bridge, and Siesta has two of them.
John Ringling left his bayfront mansion and art museum to the state, and his circus wintered here for three decades.
The planned communities east of I-75 are where the gates and the driveways are.
From November to April the condos on the keys fill with winter residents.
Please note: Raleigh and Chicago price a car leaving Sarasota, and New York and Denver one arriving, each from our own open-carrier orders in that direction since 2023. Indianapolis uses customer prices for trips of comparable distance from September 2025 to August 2026. Fuel, season and your vehicle shape the final figure, which a specialist confirms on a call after the calculator’s emailed estimate.
