Texas to Florida car shipping runs about $850 to $1,250 for a mid-size car on an open trailer. The price depends on the two cities. Houston to Jacksonville is $850 for 890 miles. Houston to Tampa is $950. Dallas-Fort Worth to Orlando is $1,000. Austin to Orlando is $1,050. Houston to Miami is $1,100. Dallas-Fort Worth to Miami is $1,250 for 1,360 miles. Bigger vehicles, a single fixed pickup date or a country address sit at the higher end of that range.

Most trips take 2 to 4 days on the road. Houston to Jacksonville is 2 to 3 days. Houston to Tampa and both Orlando routes take about 3 days. The Miami routes take 4 days. Pickup happens inside the date range you give us, so plan on a few extra days from booking to delivery.

No. They are estimates. Diesel is the biggest cost in moving a car, and fuel prices go up and down. When fuel goes up, carrier prices follow within a few weeks. When it drops, they come back down. So use the table as a solid benchmark, then get your real price from the quote calculator or by calling 888-709-9078. Once you book, the Smart Price Promise locks your price in, as long as nothing changes about the vehicle, route, condition or dates.

Almost the whole trip is on I-10. Trucks head east out of Texas through Beaumont, Baton Rouge, Mobile and Pensacola. In north Florida the route splits three ways. I-75 goes south to Tampa and Naples. I-95 goes south to Jacksonville and Miami. I-4 cuts across the middle to Orlando. There are no mountain passes anywhere on this route, so it stays open all year.

It can change your delivery date, not the shipment itself. Hurricane season runs June through November and is busiest in August and September. If a named storm is heading in, 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 and you will barely notice.

Yes. We have a staffed office at 2095 E Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy in Kissimmee, about 20 minutes from downtown Orlando and an hour from Tampa. The number is 407-377-6073. Texas is covered as a service area, handled by our national line, so you always reach someone who knows the route.

Usually, yes. Florida is flat and most streets are wide, so we can often deliver right to your address. In the older beach areas of Miami Beach and Key West, parts of downtown Tampa and St. Petersburg, and gated or 55+ communities, we meet you a short distance away instead. It takes a few minutes and costs nothing extra.

Only if you are moving there for good. There is one easy step worth doing early. Florida asks for insurance from a Florida-licensed company, in your name, before you can register the car. Line that up while your car is on the road and registering takes minutes. New residents also title and register within a set window, and a car from out of state usually needs a quick VIN check. Better still, Florida has no emissions testing at all. Check the current rules with the Florida DHSMV.

No. Your car is collected from the address you give us and delivered to the address in Florida. It never sits at a terminal or a lot along the way. That matters for two reasons: fewer people handle your vehicle, and it stays covered under Carrier Cargo Insurance from pickup right through to delivery. Our offices are where dispatchers book your transport and call you with updates, not storage yards.

Yes, as long as the carrier has a winch or the right equipment. Non-running cars are priced separately from the rates on this page. Tell us the true condition when you ask for a quote. That way the right equipment turns up and your price stays exactly as quoted.

Open transport is what most people choose for Texas to Florida vehicle shipping, and it is what every price on this page is based on. Your car rides on the same kind of trailer that delivers new cars to dealerships. Enclosed transport puts your car inside a covered trailer, away from road spray and debris. People usually pick it for luxury, classic, exotic or restored cars. We price it per vehicle.

You choose how we reach you. Asking for a quote online keeps things online, and what you share is only ever used to answer you. Our phone line is always open if you would rather talk it through.
