Car Shipping in Orlando, Florida


How long does it take to ship a car to or from Orlando, Florida?
The time it takes to ship your car to and from Orlando depends on four key things: the distance of your route, your chosen mode of transport, how often car carriers travel that specific route, and the ease of pick-up or drop-off.
β
Primarily, the distance of your route sets a basic timeline. Most car carriers are accustomed to driving around 500-600 miles on major highways each day. Your mode of transport may alter this, though: open car carriers, for instance, usually handle higher volume and can move faster, whereas enclosed car carriers may add a few extra days to the delivery time. They tend to have tighter schedules and can be a little more challenging to match up with a driver.
β
Other factors that can influence the overall timeframe include the distance of your route, how popular that route is, availability of highways, and the types of roads your carrier will be traveling on. Non-running vehicles and special delivery needs can also affect delivery times.
β
Here are a couple of examples:
We shipped a customer's Toyota from Orlando to Boston, MA (the driver traveled 1,314 miles) via open transport. The car was delivered in 4 days.
We handled a special delivery from a car dealership for a brand-new Lamborghini that we shipped in an enclosed trailer from Orlando to Las Vegas, NV. This custom delivery took 8 days in total.
β
If you're shipping an expensive car, it's usually best to book these types of deliveries well in advance. If you'd like an accurate estimate of how long it will take to ship your car, give us a call or fill out our online quote form!

What factors affect the cost of shipping a car in Orlando?
So what goes into figuring out how much it's going to cost to ship a car to or from Orlando? Distance is where we start. We also look at the distance, but there's a slight decrease in price per mile the farther your shipment is. It doesn't scale directly as mileage goes up. Transport type has the biggest impact - open transport, where 6β10 cars go on a trailer and that's the going rate in the market, will run you less than enclosed transport, which costs about 40β60 percent more. Then there's the condition of your car. Inoperable cars have to be winched, and there's usually an extra charge of around $100β$150 for that.
β
Orlando also has one of the busiest auto shipping markets in the Southeast. That means carriers are always moving on major routes, and pricing is competitive. Finally, when you can have it picked up can influence the cost. Shipping it first available will always be cheaper than scheduling a specific pickup date. To give you an idea of what some of these costs look like, here are average open transport quotes out of Orlando:
β
* To Atlanta, GA (450 miles): $400β$600
* To Boston, MA (1,314 miles): $900β$1,200
* To Las Vegas, NV (2,431 miles): $1,200β$1,600
β
Notice how across all of these quotes, as the miles increase, the price goes up, but the price per mile decreases?
Open vs. Enclosed Car Transport in Orlando, Florida
Orlando actually moves more car shipments than most places in the Southeast, and the split between open and enclosed carriers is about where you'd find nationally - around 90% of all vehicle shipments are on an open carrier. It's not that enclosed is inherently "bad," just that most vehicles don't need it. With open carriers, you can load between six and ten vehicles onto a single trailer and take advantage of shared routes, which leads to less expensive shipments and frequent carrier pickups.
β
Enclosed carriers use a completely covered trailer to protect the vehicle, loading only between two and six cars per trip, but at about 40β60% more expensive per vehicle. For example, transporting a car from Orlando to Atlanta - a 450-mile distance - can cost $400 to $600 via open transport, while an enclosed trip can run $560 to $900. On a longer, 1,314-mile trek to Boston, expect $900 to $1,200 with open carriers versus $1,260 to $1,800 with enclosed.Ultimately, the decision boils down to utility: use an open carrier for your typical, used, everyday car.
β
Enclose it if you have a high-value vehicle, a collector car, or something exotic. A new owner taking delivery of their Jeep Grand Cherokee will have it shipped open. A Bentley, a classic Mustang, or a car heading to a concours event? Enclosed.
