Florida Car Shipping Without the Guesswork

Ship A Car, Inc. moves vehicles to and from every corner of Florida: snowbirds heading for the coasts, families relocating, dealers restocking, and military members reporting to MacDill, NAS Jacksonville, and Eglin. Your car rides with a licensed, insured carrier we vet before assignment, on lanes our coordinators price and schedule every single week.

One call sets up the entire move, door to door. You get a real route-based quote, a pickup window that holds even in snowbird season, and one coordinator who owns your shipment from first call to final inspection. Prefer to start online? The instant calculator prices your exact route in seconds.

Speak with a Florida transport coordinator now at (866) 821-4555 for pickup at any residential or business address in the state.

Open or enclosed, sedan or lifted truck, running or not: if it rolls, we have a trailer and a lane for it. Florida is our busiest market, which means more trucks past your door and pickup windows measured in days, not weeks. Every quote includes carrier insurance verification and one point of contact, so the plan you approve is the plan that shows up.

Why Florida Movers Choose Ship A Car

Snowbird Scheduling Done Right

Florida’s market surges south every October through January and north every March through May. Our coordinators plan around that rhythm: book two to four weeks ahead in season and your pickup window holds, even when carriers are full. Ship against the flow and we’ll tell you, because it usually saves you money.

Vetted, Insured Carriers on Every Florida Lane

Every carrier we assign is licensed, vetted, and carries active cargo insurance that we verify before your vehicle is loaded. From the I-95 corridor into Miami to the I-75 leg down to Naples, your car rides with professionals who run these lanes every week.

Florida Car Shipping: Frequently Asked Questions

What Sets Your Florida Car Shipping Price

Between year-round relocation, the winter snowbird migration, university turnover, and military moves at MacDill AFB, NAS Jacksonville, and Eglin AFB, more vehicles enter and leave Florida than nearly anywhere else in the country. That volume keeps the big corridors competitive. Five factors set your exact rate:

1. Route and Corridor

2. Season and Direction

3. Vehicle Size and Weight

4. Running or Inoperable

5. Open vs. Enclosed Equipment

Florida Shipping Preparation Checklist

A few minutes of preparation before pickup protects your vehicle, speeds the inspection, and keeps your delivery on schedule, especially during the busy snowbird months.

1. Remove Personal Belongings and Valuables

2. Wash the Car and Photograph It

3. Deactivate Your SunPass and Toll Transponders

4. Leave About a Quarter Tank of Fuel

5. Fix Leaks and Flag Mechanical Quirks

6. Plan the Pickup Spot

7. Confirm Who Signs at Each End

The Snowbird Effect, Explained

Florida’s car-shipping market swings twice a year, and pricing follows it. From roughly October through January, demand surges southbound as seasonal residents head for the coasts: carriers fill up, southbound rates firm, and northbound trucks run light. From March through May the flow reverses. What that means for you is simple. Book two to four weeks ahead when you are moving with the crowd, closer to six around the holidays, and enjoy the discount when you are moving against it. September and early October southbound consistently beat the November peak on both price and pickup speed.

Where Carriers Actually Run in Florida

Four interstates do nearly all of Florida’s auto-transport work: I-95 down the Atlantic side into Miami, I-75 through Tampa and across Alligator Alley to Naples, I-4 linking the two coasts through Orlando, and I-10 across the Panhandle. That map is effectively the price list, because addresses on those corridors get the fastest windows and the sharpest rates. South Florida, Orlando, Tampa-St. Petersburg, and Jacksonville see daily carrier traffic. Remote pickups, including the Keys, usually mean meeting a carrier at a corridor city or a small detour charge, and drivers arrange wide-lot handoffs where big rigs cannot enter.

The Amtrak Auto Train Alternative, Honestly Compared

Florida is home to the one true auto-rail option for private cars in the U.S.: Amtrak’s Auto Train, which carries passengers and their vehicles nonstop between Lorton, Virginia and Sanford, Florida. If you are traveling with the car anyway and starting near the mid-Atlantic, compare it. The trade-offs are real: you ride with the train and pay per passenger plus the vehicle fare, it serves exactly one route, and you still have to get to Lorton and away from Sanford. Door-to-door transport costs about the same or less from most of the Northeast, collects the car at your driveway, and does not require you to ride along.

International Shipping Through Florida's Ports

Florida is one of America’s main gateways for vehicles moving overseas. Jacksonville’s JAXPORT ranks among the nation’s busiest vehicle-handling ports, and Port Everglades and the Port of Miami move steady roll-on/roll-off traffic to the Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe. For a domestic move your car never touches a ship; it stays on a truck door to door. Where the ports matter is import and export, and the trucking leg between your door and the terminal is the part Ship A Car arranges, timed to the terminal’s schedule and paperwork.
