shipping a car from florida to arizona made simple and stress-free

What to expect on this long, sun-belt route

Moving a vehicle across the peninsula-to-desert corridor spans roughly 2,000 miles, typically taking 4–7 days door to door with standard open carriers. Expect pickups near major corridors like I‑10 and I‑75, with drivers planning around weather, weigh stations, and urban traffic. Seasonal demand-snowbird moves in fall and spring-can nudge timelines and pricing.

How pricing is calculated

Quotes reflect distance, vehicle size, trailer type, and fuel trends. Compact sedans usually cost less; oversized SUVs or inoperable cars add fees. Choosing open transport offers the best value, while enclosed protects collectibles from sun and road grit. Flexible pickup windows often secure better rates and smoother coordination.

Steps to ship with confidence

Streamline the process by comparing carriers, verifying licensing and insurance, and confirming what’s included-taxes, surcharges, and delivery estimates. Document your car’s condition, keep a quarter tank of fuel, and remove loose accessories.

• Request three written quotes and check carrier MC/DOT numbers.
• Confirm pickup window, transit ETA, and tracking options.
• Complete a thorough bill of lading at pickup and delivery.
• Plan for sunny loading zones; Arizona heat favors early appointments.
