Knowing the factors influencing car shipping costs can help you budget your transportation needs effectively. Here are some important factors to consider when choosing a vehicle transport service:
Distance traveled: The longer the distance between the pick-up and delivery locations, the higher the cost. The cost of shipping a car to or from Florida will vary depending on whether you're shipping from a nearby state or across the country.
Vehicle size and type: Larger or heavier vehicles, such as trucks and SUVs, may cost more to ship due to their size and weight. Luxury or high-value cars may also incur higher fees for extra care and protection during transit.
Seasonal demand: Demand for car shipping services tends to be higher in the summer and spring, which can lead to increased prices. Planning your car shipping during off-peak seasons can help you save on costs.
Fuel prices: Fluctuations in fuel prices can impact transportation costs. When fuel prices rise, it can lead to higher shipping fees, especially for long-distance or interstate shipments.

When shipping a car to or from Florida, it's important to understand the state's vehicle registration and insurance requirements. For Florida residents, vehicles must be registered with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV), which includes proof of ownership, Florida insurance, and payment of registration fees.
While Florida doesn’t require emissions testing in many areas, some counties may have vehicle inspections. If the car is temporarily shipped to Florida, it may not need to be permanently registered, but it must meet Florida's insurance requirements, including Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and Property Damage Liability (PDL). Out-of-state vehicles may retain their existing insurance as long as it meets Florida’s minimum standards. Non-registered vehicles may require temporary permits or special registrations for legal use.
