How Does Car Shipping from Florida to Pennsylvania Work?
Most professional auto transporters use large open car carriers that can haul 8-10 vehicles at once. Cars are loaded via rear ramps and tightly secured with chains and straps. Open trucks are the most common, affordable option for long trips like Florida to Pennsylvania. For maximum protection, enclosed trailers shield cars from weather and road debris for added cost.
Rather than driving directly state-to-state, carriers follow efficient hub routes to maximize loads and avoid empty return miles. For example, your car may be picked up in Florida and then shipped through Southeast and Midwest hubs on the way to Pennsylvania. Vehicles transfer between trucks along this network until they reach your destination. Coast-to-coast transit averages 5-7 days.
Door-to-door service is also available, where one driver handles your entire shipment from Florida pickup to Pennsylvania delivery. This adds convenience, knowing your car stays with one hauler but costs more than hub routing

What Does It Cost to Ship a Car from Florida to Pennsylvania?
The average cost to ship a car from Florida to Pennsylvania normally ranges between $1,000-$1,400 using standard open auto transport. Enclosed trailers generally cost a bit more, averaging around $1,300-$1,800 for this particular long route, but provide maximum protection against road debris and weather.
What Factors Affect the Cost to Ship a Car?
Several different factors impact the overall price, including:
- Vehicle size: Larger vehicles like trucks, SUVs, and vans cost more to ship compared to smaller passenger cars since they take up more room on the carrier.
- Open vs. enclosed trailer: Enclosed trailers that fully shield cars cost extra over open transport but ensure ideal vehicle protection.
- Transport time: Avoiding peak seasons like summer and holidays leads to lower rates from less demand. Shipping in the fall, winter, or spring saves money.
- Mileage: The longer the overall transit distance, the higher the cost. Direct interstate routes are best to keep total mileage reasonable and fuel costs for the hauler lower.
- Additional Services: Optional add-ons like expedited shipping, inside pickup/delivery, or extra insurance add to the base transport cost. Basic door-to-door service is the most affordable.
Considering these factors will help estimate prices for your specific Florida to Pennsylvania auto transport shipment.
