What Affects the Cost of Shipping a Car to the Florida Keys
Seven things that move your quote up or down, and how to keep it reasonable.
1. Distance and route
Longer routes cost more overall, but popular corridors often price better per mile than remote ones.
2. Season
Snowbird season (roughly fall into spring) fills trucks heading south, then north. Booking early helps.
3. Vehicle size and weight
Trucks, large SUVs and vans take more space and weight on the trailer.
4. Open vs. enclosed
Enclosed transport costs more because there are fewer trucks and fewer cars per load.
5. Running condition
Non-running vehicles need a winch or extra handling.
6. Flexibility
A wider pickup window makes it easier to fit your car onto the right truck.
7. How you pay
Every carrier accepts COD, but not every carrier takes billed payments, so paying on delivery lets us line up the best carrier for your route.
