FAQ
Illinois to Florida questions
How much does it cost to ship a car from Illinois to Florida?
Open transport for a standard sedan on this lane typically runs $700–$1,200. Larger vehicles (SUVs, trucks), inoperable vehicles, and enclosed transport cost more; flexible dates cost less. Request a quote and we confirm your exact price before anything is booked.
How long does Illinois to Florida car shipping take?
Plan on 3–5 days in transit once the carrier picks up, plus a 1–3 day pickup window depending on your dates and location. We give you a real ETA when your carrier is assigned — not a guess.
When should I book?
Book 3–4 weeks ahead if you can. Southbound snowbird demand surges from October through November, carrier space tightens, and prices on this corridor rise 10–25%. Flexible pickup dates get you better rates.
Is it door-to-door?
Yes — the carrier picks up at your Illinois address and delivers as close to your Florida address as the truck can legally and safely get. In dense neighborhoods the driver may arrange a nearby parking lot or wide street.

“Hand down the best. I had been getting quotes from a plethora of companies that fell short. Either the carrier cancelled or other companies couldn’t find anyone. I called and spoke to Maik and explained what had taken place. As soon as I got off the phone I was matched with a carrier and the dispatcher name and information. The process was smooth and hassle free. I would definitely recommend them 100 times over. I found my forever carrier.”
“The man running the operation Maik was very communicative throughout the whole process and even when problems outside his control arose did his best to fix the situation and the delivery was made on time with the product exactly as how it left the warehouse. Maik has excellent communication and troubleshooting skills. Will work again with him for future deliveries.”
“Wonderful service from start to finish. Will be using Maik again!”
