Car Shipping in St. Cloud, Florida


How long does it take to ship a car to or from St. Cloud, Florida?
The basic determinant for transit times (to/from St. Cloud) is the mileage. Shipping companies are capable of about 500 miles of transit on a given day, considering their regulated hours of drive and breaks. Open shipping is generally more rapid than enclosed, as there are more shipping companies servicing these routes and competing for business along the main highways.
Enclosed shipping generally involves smaller networks and thus requires more time; the addition to a delivery time usually comes to 1-2 days. For example, a Kia shipping from St. Cloud to Houston was transported 1028 miles in 4 days open, while a Ford was shipped 2934 miles from St. Cloud to San Francisco in 7 days enclosed, which is about average for that distance. Shipping cars to Alabama or Mississippi takes about 700 miles on average, and delivery typically occurs within 3 days, to the customer's door.

What determines the cost of shipping a car in St. Cloud, Florida?
Most individuals expect that distance will be the determining factor. This is the most obvious one and very frequently is the biggest factor, though not always. Distance provides the base rate and also tightens the rate per mile as the mileage increases. Type of transport moves it a little more: open carriers carry 6-10 vehicles per transport and this is what most people hear when they are quoted the rate while enclosed carries less and is 40-60% more.
Vehicle condition contributes even more: inoperable vehicles receive a $100-150 winch fee. St. Cloud has a central location to US-192 and Florida Turnpike to establish a position on carrier routes headed north and west. The pickup window is the final item: a pick up within the first available timeframe will always be cheaper than picking up within a locked in window. By way of context the following are commonly quoted rates for open transport leaving from St. Cloud. A shipment going to Jacksonville FL is 180 miles and is $250-380, to Houston TX is 1028 miles and costs $800-1050, to San Francisco CA is 2934 miles and costs $1200-1600. As expected in each case as mileage increases so does total and decrease does the price per mile.

An open trailer is capable of transporting between six and ten vehicles, it is the most standard method for the industry and falls into industry standard rates.
