Plan on $625 to $775 for a mid-size car that runs, on an open trailer. That covers pickup anywhere in the Triangle and delivery anywhere around Orlando, including Kissimmee, Winter Park and Lake Nona.

It comes from our rate card for Raleigh to Kissimmee, a 617-mile trip we price from real dispatched loads. Orlando is a few miles closer, so it sits in the same range. Your exact quote depends on the car, the dates and the addresses.

Two to four days on the road for about 600 miles. Before that comes the collection window, six days standard or three expedited. Add both for your full timeline.

A car hauler makes several stops along the way to load and unload other cars. Federal rules also cap a driver's hours each day. Two to four days is what the trip really takes.

Usually Interstate 40 east to Interstate 95 near Benson, then south on I-95 through South Carolina and Georgia to Daytona Beach. From there, Interstate 4 runs west into Orlando.

October through December. That is when snowbirds head south, and trucks bound for Florida fill up fast. Book two or three weeks ahead in the fall.

Spring. From March to May the snowbird traffic runs north, so many trucks head back to Florida to pick up those cars. A southbound car in spring often finds room quickly.

Yes. Our staffed office is at 2095 E Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy in Kissimmee, about 18 miles from downtown Orlando. The number there is 407-377-6073.

Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Apex, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Garner and Morrisville. The driver comes to your address.

All of Central Florida. Orlando, Kissimmee, Winter Park, Lake Nona, Celebration, Altamonte Springs, Sanford, Clermont and Davenport are all regular stops.

Very common around Orlando. Many neighborhoods and vacation communities have gates and narrow roads. The driver picks a nearby wide street or store lot, at no extra cost.

Within 10 days of becoming a Florida resident. That can start the day you begin a job, enroll a child in school or register to vote. You also need Florida auto insurance first.

Florida checks the VIN on cars titled in another state. A notary, a licensed Florida dealer or a law enforcement officer can do it on form 82042. The car has to be there, so shipping it early makes this easy.

Yes. It is how most cars travel, including new cars headed to Florida dealers. Your car rides on a two-level trailer with eight or nine others.

For a classic, a sports car, a low car or a fresh paint job. Enclosed runs about 80 percent more than open. Get both prices and decide.

It cuts the collection window from six days to three. On a short trip like this, the window is most of your wait, so expedited makes a big difference.

Yes. We send a truck with a winch. Budget $200 or more on top of the price here, and tell us if it rolls, steers and brakes.

Yes. Snowbird couples often do. Two cars going to one address can usually ride on the same truck. Send both and we price them together.

Usually yes, within reason. About a hundred pounds in the trunk is fine. Keep the cabin clear. Insurance covers the car rather than its contents, so carry valuables yourself.

Wash it, clear out your things and take off the toll tag. Leave about a quarter tank and turn off the alarm. Snap photos of all four sides in daylight.

Take it off the windshield before pickup. Central Florida has several toll roads, and a tag left in the car can be read along the way.

Carrier Cargo Insurance, held by the carrier moving your car. It covers the car from loading in the Triangle to unloading in Central Florida. We send you the certificate when the carrier is set.

From our vetted network of over 16,000 carriers. Each one has active FMCSA authority and insurance on file. We also check equipment, route history and service record.

Yes, on SAFER, the FMCSA's free site. Enter any USDOT number. Ours is USDOT 2887232, MC 969368.

No. It stays on one truck with one driver from pickup to delivery.

Yes, it is already in the price. When a street is too tight, the driver meets you close by instead.

Yes. Any adult you trust can release or receive the car. Add their name and cell number to the order.

It is about nine hours, so a long day or an easy two. Many people drive it. Shipping makes sense when you have two cars, a tight schedule, or a car you would rather not add miles to.

Yes. Spring is the busy season for that direction. Send us your dates and we will price it.

It stays the same. Under the Smart Price Promise, the price we quote is the price you pay, as long as the car, route, condition and details stay the same.

Both zip codes, the year, make and model, whether it runs, and your pickup date. Use the calculator at the top or call 888-709-9078.
