Florida to Maryland Auto Transport

Most carriers complete this route in 2 to 4 days, depending on pickup city, distance, and traffic along major corridors like I-95. Timing can shift slightly during peak seasons, coastal weather patterns, or when shipping from less accessible inland locations. Enclosed carriers may also move slower due to limited availability. Planning early helps secure preferred pickup windows. For customers needing predictable timing, our car shipping cost guide explains how timing and miles influence rates: car shipping cost guide.

Most shipments on this corridor fall between $650 and $1,050, depending on distance, vehicle size, open vs. enclosed carrier, and demand surges during snowbird season. Sedans on open carriers typically land in the lower range, while SUVs, oversized vehicles, or enclosed transport trend higher. Rural pickups require more routing time and can raise the total.

Yes. Inoperable vehicles can be transported using winch-equipped carriers, but expect an additional fee due to extra loading time and equipment requirements. The driver must be able to access the vehicle, steer it, and roll it during loading. Heavier or severely damaged vehicles may require specialized equipment.

Door-to-door service is the most common option on this route, and carriers can usually access residential areas along Florida’s metro corridors and Maryland’s suburban regions. Apartment complexes, gated communities, or tight streets may require meeting at a nearby open lot. Weather can also influence access during Maryland’s winter season.

Address changes are usually possible if requested early. Minor adjustments within the same city often stay within schedule, while shifting to a new city or rural area may add miles, time, or $50–$150 depending on rerouting needs. Carriers coordinate changes around existing loads, so notifying dispatch promptly is essential. New addresses must allow for truck access and legal parking under FMCSA commercial-vehicle standards.

Booking 7 to 10 days in advance provides the best carrier availability, especially during winter moves, snowbird season, and holiday weeks. Early booking gives dispatch time to align your route with other vehicles heading up the East Coast corridor. Same-day or next-day pickup may be available but usually carries a premium.

Enclosed transport offers the highest protection from rain, salt spray, and roadway debris—useful for owners moving luxury, exotic, or newly restored vehicles. Enclosed carriers cost 40–60 percent more than open trailers because they hold fewer vehicles and offer white-glove handling. This route’s coastal humidity and seasonal storms make enclosed a smart option for high-value vehicles.
