Car Shipping from Virginia to Florida

Shipping a car from Virginia to Florida covers roughly 850 miles, and most vehicles we move on this route deliver in 3 to 5 days. Current market pricing runs from $550 to $850 for standard open transport, with the exact rate depending on vehicle size, running condition, and how flexible your pickup dates are.

Popular pickup and delivery areas

On the Virginia side, most shipments start in the Richmond and Virginia Beach metro areas, though our carrier network covers every county in the state. Deliveries in Florida concentrate around Miami, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville. Door-to-door service means the driver gets as close to your address as the truck can safely and legally operate; on narrow residential streets, you'll typically meet at a nearby parking lot or wide cross-street.

How the route runs

Carriers on this lane primarily follow the I-95 East Coast corridor. This is a mid-length lane: long enough that federal hours-of-service rules require overnight stops, short enough that a single carrier usually handles it end to end in 3 to 5 days.

Pricing and timing tips

Rates on this lane are steadiest outside summer; June through August brings the most competing freight, so a little date flexibility saves real money then. Open transport is the right choice for most vehicles. For exotics, classics, or anything with custom paint, enclosed transport typically adds 30-40% but shields the car from weather and road debris for all 850 miles. Either way, your shipment is covered by $100,000 cargo insurance, tracked by GPS, and you pay nothing up front.
