Florida is one of the busiest states for vehicle transportation. Seasonal residents, military families, college students, dealerships and people relocating for work all create steady demand on routes connecting Florida with the Northeast, Midwest and Texas.
How much does it cost to ship a car in Florida?
The final price depends on the distance, vehicle size, pickup flexibility, season and trailer type. Open transport is the most common and economical option. Enclosed transport offers additional protection for luxury, exotic and classic vehicles.
Longer routes generally cost more overall but less per mile. A flexible pickup window can also help your transport coordinator find the best carrier and rate for your route.

Snowbird demand is strongest in fall for southbound transportation and in spring for northbound transportation. Booking early during those periods gives you more scheduling options.
Preparing your vehicle for pickup
Wash the exterior so the driver can complete an accurate inspection. Remove personal belongings and toll transponders, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, check tire pressure and make sure the battery is secure. Keep a set of keys available for the carrier.
At pickup, you and the driver will inspect the vehicle and record its condition on the Bill of Lading. Review that document again at delivery before signing.

Cayad coordinates door-to-door auto transport throughout Florida, including Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, Naples, Sarasota and surrounding communities.
