Did you know that Florida is the shallowest state in the country, having the lowest high point of any state in the US, at 345 feet? Yet when you think about Florida, images of magnificent parks, good restaurants, gorgeous locations to visit, beaches, and the famous Disney Land come to mind. Florida is a fantastic city to live in.

Virginia, often known as the Old Dominion State, is named after Queen Elizabeth I, sometimes known as the Virgin Queen. It is the country's tenth state statehood. Experts believe the first humans to settle in what is now Virginia came 18,000 years ago. Virginia has a rich history and a welcoming attitude.

The specific distance to be traveled, including extra services based on your request, determines the shipping cost from Florida and Virginia.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documents do I need to ship my car from Florida to Virginia?

Carriers typically require a valid government ID, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. The Bill of Lading is issued at pickup to record the car’s condition and acts as your shipment receipt. If the vehicle is financed or leased, shippers may request written authorization or a Power of Attorney. FMCSA rules require carriers to verify vehicle ownership before loading. A documentation overview is available in our car transportation services guide.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Florida to Virginia?

Most shipments fall between $700–$1,050 using open transport. Pricing reflects distance, vehicle size, carrier availability, and seasonal demand. Rates rise during snowbird season when south-to-north traffic tightens carrier capacity. Enclosed carriers add 40–60 percent due to limited space. A full pricing breakdown is available in our car shipping rates guide.

How long does Florida to Virginia auto transport take?

Transit usually runs 2–4 days once the vehicle is picked up. Drivers commonly follow I-95 northbound, and timing depends on weather, traffic through Jacksonville–Savannah–Carolinas corridors, and whether your pickup location is rural or metro. Delays occur during summer storm periods or peak moving months when carrier schedules tighten.

Is open or enclosed transport better for a Florida to Virginia shipment?

Open carriers are the most common and cost-efficient option for standard vehicles. Enclosed transport offers added protection from rain and road debris along the hurricane-prone Atlantic corridor and is recommended for luxury, classic, or low-clearance cars. Expect 40–60 percent higher costs for enclosed service. Learn more in our enclosed auto transport overview.

Can I ship an inoperable car from Florida to Virginia?

Yes. Most carriers can transport non-running vehicles using winches or liftgates. Because loading requires extra labor and equipment, expect an added $100–$200 on top of standard route pricing. Provide details on brakes, steering, and rolling condition so carriers can assign the right trailer type.

Are door-to-door pickups available on this route?

Yes, most Florida and Virginia metro areas support door-to-door service. Rural pickups may require meeting at a wider-access location due to carrier clearance and roadway limits. Door access reduces handling, speeds loading, and is ideal for residential moves. An overview is available in our door to door auto transport guide.
