Pricing refreshed monthly based on current carrier rates.

Why another company can quote you 40% less.

Quotes well below the typical range are almost always bait. The broker holds your booking, then pumps up the price last minute when no carrier accepts the rate.

Four things that set us apart.

Insured Transport

Insured under federal cargo liability requirements. Coverage is part of the quote, not an add-on.

The Price is the Price

Your quote is locked for 28 days. Cancel free up to 7 days before pickup.

Door-to-Door

Most shipments run door to door. If access is tight (narrow streets, low clearance), we will arrange a nearby meeting point.

What to know about shipping a car from California to Florida.

Shipping a car from California to Florida typically takes 4 to 8 days and costs $1,300 to $2,000 for open transport. The distance between major cities ranges from about 2,400 miles (Los Angeles to Jacksonville) to 3,000 miles (San Francisco to Miami). The dominant corridor is I-10 across the southern US, which stays operable year-round.

Pricing shifts within that range based on the specific cities, vehicle size, and current carrier availability. Enclosed transport runs 30 to 45% above open and is more common for collector and high-value vehicles moving between the two coasts.

Carrier supply on California to Florida tends to be steadier than routes through snow-affected regions. The southern corridor stays clear of winter weather, so dispatch times don’t spike in winter the way they do on northern routes. Pricing on this corridor is less seasonal than snowbird routes between the Northeast and Florida.

Car hauling burns diesel. We fund the work to clean it up.

One percent of every booking goes to Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit working on policy and technology to clean up transport and energy emissions.

How the contribution works →

Common questions, plainly answered.

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

Shipping a car from California to Florida costs between $1,300 and $2,000 for open transport. Enclosed transport costs about 30 to 45% more. Pricing depends on the specific cities, vehicle size, and current demand.

How long does it take to ship a car from California to Florida?

Shipping a car from California to Florida takes 4 to 8 days, depending on pickup and delivery cities. The route is roughly 2,400 to 3,000 miles.

Is my car insured during transport?

Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.

Can I put stuff in my car when shipping?

You can leave up to 100 pounds of personal items in one piece of luggage, placed in the trunk or cargo area. Some carriers will accept additional weight for an added fee; we can arrange this for you after booking.

Should I choose open or enclosed transport?

Open transport is the standard choice for most vehicles. Enclosed transport costs 30 to 45% more and is appropriate for high-value vehicles, classics, low-clearance sports cars, and any car where weather exposure or road debris is a real concern.

What if my car is damaged?

If you find damage at delivery, note it on the bill of lading before signing. We will manage the claim with the carrier from there.

How do I ship a car?

To ship a car, request a quote with your origin, destination, and vehicle details. Sequoia matches you with a driver according to your pickup window, the driver picks up your vehicle, and delivers it at your destination.

When am I charged?

Nothing is charged at booking. The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens, and the remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
