Los Angeles to Miami car shipping is $1,700 for a mid-size car on an open trailer, covering 2,750 miles in about 7 days. The same rate applies coming back from Miami to Los Angeles. Bigger vehicles, a single fixed pickup day, or an address in the Hollywood hills or on Miami Beach will push it higher. Enclosed trailers, non-running cars and oversized trucks are priced per vehicle.

About 7 days on the road once your car is collected, covering 2,750 miles almost entirely on I-10. Pickup happens inside the date range you give us, so plan on a few extra days from booking to delivery. Federal hours-of-service rules limit how long a driver can be behind the wheel each day, which sets a practical floor on transit for a coast-to-coast trip.

Almost all of it is I-10 — east through Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, San Antonio, Houston, Baton Rouge, Mobile and Tallahassee, then south to Miami. I-10 starts at the Santa Monica pier and ends in Jacksonville, so this lane rides nearly the entire interstate. It is the southernmost coast-to-coast route in the country and the lowest overall — it does climb through West Texas and over the Continental Divide in New Mexico, but it stays open year-round where the northern routes do not, which makes it one of the more weather-reliable long lanes.

It can affect the delivery date rather than the shipment. Hurricane season runs June through November and is busiest in August and September. If a named storm is heading for South Florida, drivers hold your car safely on the trailer and wait it out rather than driving into an evacuation. That usually costs a day or two. Moving in late summer? Give yourself a couple of spare days on any rental car.

In most of South Florida, yes — it is flat, modern and built wide. Miami Beach is the exception. The Art Deco district south of Lincoln Road was laid out in the 1920s and 30s with narrow one-way blocks and almost no turning room, so we normally meet on the mainland side instead. Brickell towers with underground parking and gated communities out west work the same way. There is no extra charge for a meeting point.

Yes, though only one is local to the city. Our Los Angeles office is at 5111 Harold Way, Suite 301, on 213-766-0064. Our Florida office is in Kissimmee, up near Orlando — about three hours north of Miami — on 407-377-6073. It is the same team in your delivery time zone, and it is who you reach if a Florida delivery needs rearranging. Miami itself is covered as a service area.

No. Your car never sits anywhere. It goes from your address straight onto the carrier and stays covered under Carrier Cargo Insurance for the entire trip. Our offices are where dispatchers book your transport and call you with updates, not storage yards. Fewer people handle your vehicle and there is no gap in coverage between pickup and delivery.

Open is what most cars travel on and what the price on this page is based on. It is the same kind of trailer that delivers new cars to dealerships. Enclosed puts your car inside, away from road spray and debris, and is usually chosen for luxury, classic, exotic or freshly painted cars. On a seven-day coast-to-coast run, more people choose enclosed than on shorter lanes. We price it per vehicle rather than publishing a figure.

Yes, as long as the carrier has a winch or the right equipment. Non-running cars are priced separately from the rate on this page. Tell us the true condition when you ask for a quote and the right truck turns up first time, with your price unchanged.

No. Asking for a Los Angeles to Miami car shipping quote does not put you on a call list. We only use what you give us to answer you directly, and we never sell it to anyone. You are welcome to call us, though, on 213-766-0064 in Los Angeles or 407-377-6073 in Florida.
