About This Route

What makes the Keys leg different.

Orlando to the Keys is two very different drives stitched together. The first 250 miles are Turnpike — fast, predictable, uneventful. The last 113 are the Overseas Highway, two lanes across 42 bridges with no way around a backup.

Most quotes for this lane are priced as though the whole trip is highway. It isn’t, and that’s where schedules slip. A carrier that treats the Keys portion as an afterthought arrives at Florida City having budgeted an hour for what can take three.

We price and schedule the two halves separately, because they behave differently. It’s also why we can commit to a date on this route instead of handing you a window and hoping.

The last 113 miles are the whole job.

Any carrier can run the Turnpike. The Keys leg is where this route is won or lost, and it’s the part we built the company around.

No Homestead handoff

We don’t ask you to drive to the mainland to collect your vehicle. Delivery is your Keys address.

Mile-marker planning

We know which addresses take a full-size transporter and which need a different approach — before the truck leaves Orlando.

One team, one contact

The same people who quoted the job are the ones running it. No dispatch center in between.

Timing

When to book this route.

Two different things affect when your vehicle arrives, and they’re worth separating.

1

Getting on a truck

Usually a day or two, depending on how the week’s loads fall — and sometimes a great deal less. If a truck is already routed your way, first call to delivered can happen inside a single day. This is the part that varies most, and we’ll tell you exactly where you sit when we quote.

2

Time on the road

Once your vehicle is loaded, six to eight hours of actual driving. Door to door, 24 to 48 hours is typical for this lane — though traffic, bridge conditions and the specific address all move it.

The fast end is real — and it’s why carriers beat brokers

A broker takes your booking and then starts looking for someone to haul it. That search is the wait. We already own the trucks, so when one is heading your way we can go from quote to loaded to delivered in a matter of hours. It won’t line up every week — but when it does, nobody working through a middleman can match it. Ask what this week looks like and we’ll tell you straight.

Dec – Apr

Season

Peak demand both directions. Book further ahead — this is when the lane is busiest and the highway is slowest.

Jun – Nov

Hurricane season

Bridge closures and evacuation orders can stop transport entirely. We reschedule rather than risk a load.

Late July

Lobster mini-season

Traffic on US-1 becomes genuinely difficult for two days. Worth planning around.

Common Questions

Orlando to the Keys, answered.

How long does Orlando to Key West take?
Getting onto a truck typically takes a day or two. Once loaded, the drive is about 370 miles and six to eight hours — the Turnpike portion moves fast, the 113 miles of Overseas Highway does not. Door to door, 24 to 48 hours is typical, and we’ll tell you where you sit in the schedule when we quote.
Can you pick up anywhere in the Orlando metro?
Yes — Orlando proper plus Kissimmee, Winter Park, Sanford, Lake Nona, Clermont and the surrounding areas. Door-to-door wherever access and local rules allow.
What if my Keys address is hard to reach?
Tell us the address when you book. Some Lower Keys and Old Town addresses won’t take a full-size transporter, and we plan the final approach in advance rather than improvising on arrival.
Is the Keys leg subcontracted?
No. Florida routes run start to finish on our own trucks. Only out-of-state routes involve a partner carrier.
Do you ship classic and luxury vehicles?
Yes, enclosed transport is available on this lane. Worth considering given the salt exposure on the Overseas Highway.
