$450 to $1,975 for an operable mid-size car on an open trailer, and distance does most of the work. Jacksonville to Orlando is $450 to $600. Jacksonville to New York is $800 to $950. Jacksonville to Chicago is $975 to $1,125, and Jacksonville to Seattle, the longest lane we publish here, is $1,825 to $1,975.

From 1 day inside Florida to 10 days for the run to Puget Sound. Jacksonville to Atlanta or Miami is 1 to 2 days, New York or Houston is 3 to 4, Chicago is 3 to 4, and Los Angeles is 6 to 8. Road days start when your pickup window closes.

Yes, on almost every long route, and it is the best thing about shipping from here. Jacksonville sits at the top of the peninsula where Interstate 95 and Interstate 10 meet, so it is 120 to 350 miles closer to the rest of the country than any other big Florida city. Jacksonville to Chicago is $975 to $1,125 against $1,000 to $1,150 from Kissimmee.

$800 to $950 on an open trailer over about 940 miles in 3 to 4 days. That covers all five boroughs, Long Island and Westchester. It is the best value on this page for the distance.

Because leaving New York costs more than arriving there, in every direction. Southbound runs $1,200 to $1,400 while northbound runs $800 to $950, on the same 940 miles. Trucks arrive in New York full and compete hard for the loads going back out, and a driver loading in the city also deals with bridges, tunnels and curb space.

$900 to $1,050 on an open trailer over about 890 miles in 3 to 4 days. That figure comes from our own Texas to Florida page, so the two agree. Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands and Pearland price the same.

$975 to $1,125 on an open trailer over about 1,065 miles in 3 to 4 days. Naperville, Aurora, Schaumburg and the rest of Chicagoland come in at the same figure.

$950 to $1,100 on an open trailer over about 1,000 miles in 3 to 4 days. Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco and Arlington price with Dallas.

$1,425 to $1,600 on an open trailer over about 2,450 miles in 6 to 8 days. It is a straight run on Interstate 10, which begins in Jacksonville and ends at the Pacific.

$1,825 to $1,975 on an open trailer over about 2,990 miles in 8 to 10 days. Tacoma, Bellevue, Everett and Olympia are the same range, and our Lakewood office handles the Puget Sound end.

$525 to $675 on an open trailer over about 350 miles in 1 to 2 days. Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach come in at the same figure. At that distance, driving it is worth a thought unless you have two cars and one driver.

$550 to $700 on an open trailer over about 345 miles in 1 to 2 days. Marietta, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs and Decatur price the same.

On every lane on this page except one. New York to Jacksonville costs materially more than Jacksonville to New York, and the table shows both. Everything else holds within about $100 either way.

The peninsula is roughly a 400 mile dead end, and Jacksonville is the only big Florida city that is not inside it. Interstate 10 ends here and Interstate 95 runs straight through, so a truck leaving Jacksonville is already on the road out. From Miami the same truck has 350 miles of Florida to cover first.

It does. Interstate 10 runs 2,460 miles from Jacksonville to the Pacific and it is the southernmost coast-to-coast interstate in the country. For a car going to Houston, El Paso, Phoenix or Los Angeles, that means essentially one road the whole way.

Hardly at all going west, which is the useful part. Interstate 10 never climbs a mountain pass, so a January estimate to Texas or the Southwest looks the same as a July one. Northbound on Interstate 95 the only thing a driver watches is a few hours of ice in Virginia or Maryland in January or February.

It affects a handful of pickup days between August and October, and it affects the pickup rather than the drive. When a named storm is approaching, carriers wait it out rather than run a loaded trailer into it. Ship a week or two ahead of a firm date in those months and you will not notice it.

October through December, with the seasonal move south, and then March through May as it reverses. June through September is the calm stretch, which makes it the easiest time of year to get the pickup window you want.

10 days from the date you take up residence or start work in Florida, which is one of the shortest windows in the country. Your driver license conversion gets a more relaxed 30 days. Worth having the paperwork ready before the car lands.

Yes, and it is the step that catches most new arrivals. Florida requires at least $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection and at least $10,000 in Property Damage Liability, from an insurance carrier licensed to do business in Florida. Line that up while the car is still on the truck.

Florida needs a VIN and odometer verification on a vehicle coming from another state, recorded on HSMV form 82042. A Florida law enforcement officer, a licensed Florida dealer or a Florida notary can complete it, so it is easy to arrange locally.

No. Florida runs no emissions or smog program at all, so a car arriving in Jacksonville has one less errand than it would in most states.

Not a staffed one, and Jacksonville deliveries run smoothly without it. Our Central Florida office in Kissimmee coordinates the state, and the city is covered by our carrier network of more than 16,000 vetted transport professionals.

2095 E Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, Kissimmee, FL 34744, and the direct line is 407-377-6073. It is a staffed operations base rather than a place to drop a car off. Your vehicle always goes door to door.

The ZIP code, every time. Jacksonville is the largest city by area in the contiguous United States, so two Jacksonville addresses can be 30 miles and 45 minutes apart. The ZIP tells the driver whether he is heading for the Westside, Mandarin, the Northside or the beaches.

Yes. Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach and Ponte Vedra are all served at the Jacksonville price, reached on Beach Boulevard, Atlantic Boulevard or J. Turner Butler. Where a beach street is narrow or a condo garage has a height limit, the driver picks a wide lot nearby.

Handled in advance, which is the whole answer. Nocatee, the Ponte Vedra communities and the newer Northside developments have turns a 75-foot trailer cannot make, so we agree a meeting spot with you and give the gate a heads-up. It costs nothing extra.

Yes, at the Jacksonville price. St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Fernandina Beach, Yulee, Orange Park, Fleming Island, Middleburg and Macclenny all price with the city.

Yes, and this is one of our busiest military markets. Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Naval Station Mayport and Blount Island Command sit inside the city, with Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay just over the Georgia line. We handle gate handovers and orders-based timing regularly.

Yes, and it is the right way to plan it. Give us the report date rather than a pickup date and we work backward from it, allowing for the road days plus the collection window. If the orders move, tell us and we reschedule.

Open is the standard trailer and it carries almost every car we move, including every price on this page. Enclosed puts the car inside a covered trailer and costs about 80 percent more. It is the right call for a collector car, an exotic, a low car or fresh paint.

It depends on the car rather than the route. No road on this page is salted, so the usual winter argument does not apply. What does apply is salt air at the beaches and a long dry run west on Interstate 10. For a daily driver a wash covers it; for a valuable finish, enclosed earns its money.

Yes. A non-running car loads on a winch, which adds $200 or more to the running price. Tell us at quote time and the right truck is assigned from the start.

6 days standard, counted from the first date you give us. Expedited narrows it to 3 days. Both windows open on your earliest available date rather than the day you book.

It is when a date is firm. On Jacksonville to Orlando or Atlanta the drive is one day, so the collection window is most of your timeline and tightening it changes the whole schedule. On the Seattle run it matters much less.

No. That is our Smart Price Promise: the price we quote is the price you pay, as long as the vehicle, the route, the condition and the shipping details stay the same. If something material changes, we reprice openly and explain why.

Door to door pickup and delivery, one carrier for the whole trip, the driver's Carrier Cargo Insurance, a written condition report at both ends, and the driver's direct number. No fuel surcharge and no fees added later.

Usually yes, within reason. Keep it to personal effects in the trunk or back seat, under about 100 pounds, below the window line and clear of the driver's way. Tell us what is in there so the weight is accounted for, and leave out anything valuable or irreplaceable.

Wash it so the condition report is accurate, photograph it from every angle, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, turn off the alarm, fold the mirrors and remove any toll transponder. Check the tire pressures too, since the car rolls on and off under its own weight.

Someone does, and it can be anyone you name. That person walks the car with the driver, signs the condition report and keeps a copy. At the far end the same report is used to check the car before signing for it.

Yes, and it is usually the better value. Two cars to the same address share the trip and we quote the pair together rather than doubling one price. For a household moving with two vehicles and one driver it is normally the cheapest way.

Yes to all three. A full-size pickup or large SUV takes more deck space and adds roughly $100 to $250 depending on distance. Electric vehicles ride on the same open trailers, and we ask for the charge level and whether the car has a transport mode.

Motorcycles, yes, secured on their own cradles. For a boat or a trailered load, send the dimensions and weight and we will tell you honestly whether it suits our network or whether you want a specialist.

Yes. Give us the dealer or auction contact, the lot details and the release information and we deal with them directly. You do not need to be there, and we confirm the condition report with you either way.

One vetted carrier from our network of more than 16,000, for the whole distance. Active FMCSA authority and a live insurance filing come first, and nothing moves without both. After that we look at the trailer and how recent deliveries went.

The carrier's Carrier Cargo Insurance covers the vehicle from pickup to delivery. Ask and we will send you the certificate before the truck arrives.

Smart Auto Move Inc holds USDOT 2887232 and MC 969368, and the record is public on the FMCSA SAFER system. We are also BBB accredited with an A plus rating going back to 2016.

They are honest estimates, reviewed against the market. Fuel is the largest single cost in hauling a car and it moves, so these rows get reviewed against it. The live number for your car and your dates comes from the quote form or a phone call.

No. Information you share with Smart Auto Move for the purpose of receiving a quote is used for that purpose only. We do not sell your information and we do not chase you with outbound sales calls. You are welcome to call us whenever you like.

Send the Jacksonville address with its ZIP, the other end of the trip, the year, make and model, whether the car runs, and your earliest available date. That is everything we need to give you a number you can book on.
