What it costs to ship a car from Michigan to Florida
Each row of the price table is a vehicle type: sedan, SUV or pickup truck. Each has a Standard pickup rate and a Flexible pickup rate for open transport, and Flexible is lower for a pickup date that can move. The enclosed sedan row shows the market rate for an enclosed trailer.
Expect your own rate to shift with:
- Where you pick up and deliver. Flat Rock to Tampa is a different trip from Grosse Pointe to Naples, and each is priced by its own locations.
- Vehicle type. A sedan, SUV and pickup truck are priced separately.
- Open or enclosed trailer. Enclosed costs more.
- Whether the vehicle runs. An inoperable vehicle costs more because it is harder to load.
- Pickup flexibility. Flexible pickup costs less.
- Number of vehicles. A multi-vehicle load is priced as a single load and can cost less than the single-vehicle rate times the count.
The rates are refreshed weekly. See the Updated date on the table for the most recent refresh.
