Who ships TX to FL

Relocations between two of the fastest-growing states, military moves between Texas bases and Florida installations, and seasonal traffic to the Gulf beaches.

When to book, and what it costs you if you don't

Steady demand with a mild winter increase. The genuine variable here is hurricane season, June through November — an active storm can pause pickups and deliveries across Florida for several days with no notice.

The route your carrier actually drives

I-10 east through Houston, Beaumont, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Mobile and Tallahassee. Flat, fast and well-served by carriers.

Not on the list? It makes no difference to whether I can help — these are simply the points where carriers on this lane already stop. Anywhere else is still door to door.

Common questions

Shipping Texas to Florida

How long does it take to ship a car from Texas to Florida?
Plan on 3–5 days once your vehicle is loaded — it is roughly 1,150 miles, and carriers average about 500 miles a day with mandated rest stops. Add one to three business days for a carrier to be dispatched to your first available date.
What determines the price on the Texas to Florida route?
Distance sets the floor, then vehicle size and weight, open versus enclosed, whether it runs, and how flexible your dates are. Steady demand with a mild winter increase. The genuine variable here is hurricane season, June through November — an active storm can pause pickups and deliveries across Florida for several days with no notice. I quote what the lane is actually paying carriers, so the number does not move after you book.
Which cities do you cover on this route?
Pickup anywhere in Texas including Houston and Dallas, and delivery anywhere in Florida including Miami and Tampa. Rural addresses are fine — if an 80-foot rig cannot legally reach the street, we agree on a nearby lot, usually a few minutes away, at no change to your price.
Do I have to pay before my car is picked up?
No. Nothing is charged when you book. A deposit is only taken once a licensed carrier is assigned to your Texas pickup with a confirmed date, and the balance goes to the driver at delivery in Florida.
