What it costs to ship a car from Florida to Michigan
The price table is organized by vehicle. For a sedan, an SUV and a pickup truck, it shows a Standard pickup rate and a lower Flexible pickup rate, both for open transport. Flexible fits a pickup date that can move. The enclosed sedan row shows the market rate on an enclosed trailer.
Several factors push a rate up or down:
- Pickup and delivery locations. Sanford to Rochester Hills and Bradenton to Warren are separate trips, and each is priced on its own locations.
- Vehicle type. Sedan, SUV and pickup truck rates differ.
- Open or enclosed. Enclosed transport costs more.
- Whether it runs. Loading an inoperable vehicle takes more work, so it costs more.
- Pickup flexibility. Flexible is the lower-cost option.
- Number of vehicles. Multiple vehicles are priced as one load, which can cost less than the single-vehicle rate times the number of vehicles.
The table updates weekly. Its Updated date marks the most recent refresh.

How shipping on AHX works
Start by posting your shipment at your rate. Vetted carriers instant-book at your rate or send a counteroffer, which you can accept or turn down. AHX verifies every carrier's DOT number, insurance and operating authority.
You can watch the shipment with real-time tracking from pickup to delivery. AHX adds a transparent platform fee on top of the carrier rate. The fee is a percentage of that rate and is applied after the shipment successfully delivers, with no undisclosed broker markup.
Request a shipper account to post your shipment.
