Car shipping cost
How Much Is It to Ship a Car to Florida?
The cost to ship a car to Florida depends almost entirely on where the vehicle starts, where in Florida it is going, and when you need it moved. Short regional moves from Georgia or Alabama can run a few hundred dollars, while cross-country moves from the West Coast run into the thousands. The tables below give estimated market ranges by distance band. These are planning figures, not quotes. Call (239) 273-4649 for a real price reviewed by a live broker.

What moves your price on this lane
Origin distance and route density
The farther the origin, the higher the cost — but not linearly. A 2,500-mile move from the West Coast often costs less per mile than a 300-mile rural move because long-haul trucks can carry multiple vehicles efficiently.
Florida destination
Major metros like Orlando, Tampa, Miami and Jacksonville have the most carrier traffic. Southwest Florida destinations such as Naples and Fort Myers are well served but slightly farther off the main north-south corridors.
Snowbird season
Shipments into Florida peak from October through December. Rates are highest in November. Summer is usually the most affordable time to ship a car to Florida.
Vehicle type and condition
SUVs, trucks and modified vehicles cost more than sedans. Non-running vehicles need special equipment and add $150 to $300 to the open rate.
Seasonality
How the calendar affects cost
Fall (October – December)
The busiest season for shipping cars to Florida. Demand from the Northeast, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic floods the market. Book early for better rates.
Winter (January – March)
Volume settles after the holidays. Pricing becomes more predictable, and pickup windows are usually shorter.
Spring (April – May)
The reverse snowbird season begins. Trucks leaving Florida fill first; inbound capacity loosens, which can improve pricing for shippers moving to Florida.
Summer (June – September)
The softest pricing of the year for inbound Florida moves. Hurricane season can cause short delays during named storms.
