Plan on $2,100 to $2,300 for a mid-size car on an open trailer as of September 2026. Full-size pickups, three-row SUVs and vans run $150 to $350 above that. These figures come from our own recent shipments on this route and are estimates, since fuel prices move them.

Nine to ten days on the road once your car is loaded, covering about 3,370 miles. Before that comes your pickup window, which is 6 days on standard service and 3 days on expedited, counted from the first date you say you are ready.

Miami sits about 350 miles further down the peninsula, with water on three sides, so the truck drives to the end of the state and returns the same way. South Florida also takes in more cars than it sends back north, so drivers work harder to fill a load going home. Both show up in the price.

Open is right for almost every daily driver and it is what the prices on this page cover. Enclosed runs about 80 percent more, so a $2,200 open move is roughly $3,950 enclosed. Choose it for a classic, an exotic, fresh paint, or a car too low to clear a ramp.

Yes. Your car goes from your address straight onto the carrier and stays covered under Carrier Cargo Insurance for the entire trip. Once a carrier is assigned we can give you their certificate of insurance on request, right away.

Usually yes, within reason. Most drivers will take a few things as a courtesy. Keep it under about 100 pounds, pack it neatly, and keep it out of sight from outside the car. Think a few boxes in the trunk rather than a carload. The one thing to know is that you are paying to move the vehicle, so the carrier's insurance covers the car itself. Keep anything you would hate to lose with you.

Almost always, though usually at the curb on a wider cross street rather than inside the garage. A car hauler is about 75 feet long and a residential garage entrance will not clear it. Tell your building the day before and ask whether they want a certificate of insurance on file, and the delivery goes quickly.

Wash it so existing marks show, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, and remove roof boxes, bike racks and toll tags. Fold the mirrors in, check tire pressure and fluids, and take photos of all four corners and the odometer the morning of pickup. Hand the driver one key and keep your spare.

Two to four weeks ahead gives you good choice of dates on this route. You pay a deposit at booking and the balance at delivery, commonly by cashier's check, money order or cash. You can also put the full amount on a credit card, but only at the time of booking.

Cancel any time before we assign a carrier and your deposit comes back to you. Once we assign one and send you the driver's details, that money is spoken for. It is not gone, though. You can push the move back and use it on a later shipment.

Any month works, but October through February is the busy southbound stretch as people head south for the winter. Book three to four weeks out in those months and you will have your pick of dates. March through May is the same story in reverse for the trip back north.

Look up USDOT 2887232 on the federal SAFER database and check our BBB record, where we hold an A+ rating. We have been in business over ten years and have more than 120 Google reviews across our offices, averaging 4.7. Watch for any quote far below the others, since that is the most common warning sign in car shipping.

We give you GPS tracking when the carrier and truck support it, plus the driver's direct phone number and email updates from us. Many companies advertise full tracking on every load, but no truck can be tracked unless it carries a working system, so we tell you up front what you will have on your shipment.

Yes, as long as it rolls, steers and brakes so it can be winched on. There is no flat fee for it. It typically runs $200 or more above the price of shipping the same car running, and we need a short conversation to price it accurately.
