Ship a Car from California to Florida

California to Florida Car Transport

You maybe thinking about shipping a car from California to Florida and how to go about doing that.  This is one of Easy Auto Ship’s busiest routes and we have a preferred network of carriers that give us great rates for this route.  Many people that live in California also have homes in Florida and ship their cars back and forth throughout the year.  One thing you will want to consider is whether to ship open-air or enclosed car transport.  Of course, going enclosed is always the safest and cleanest way to ship a vehicle however it does usually cost about 40% more than shipping on an open trailer.  It is generally a little less expensive shipping to Florida from California than Florida to California.  The main reason for this is more people are going to California from Florida than California to Florida.  Many carriers will make stops in Texas for pick up and drop off as they can make a little more on that entire route if the take something from say Los Angeles to Houston then Houston to Florida vs just a straight trip from California to Florida.  A lot of time people want to put personal items in the car during transport.  Most drivers are generally ok with about 100 lbs of stuff if it’s in the truck of the car.  Keep in mind, no personal items are covered under the cargo insurance policy just the vehicle itself is covered.
