Cheapest Company to Ship

If you’re hunting for the cheapest company to ship a car, price matters, but safety does too. A rock-bottom bid often comes from a new or barely checked carrier. SimpleCarShip aims for balance: low quotes plus carriers that are licensed and insured. Sometimes you pay a few bucks more and get a driver who shows up, and a carrier who answers if things go sideways.

How we keep costs down: we match several carriers to each route, plan backhauls so trucks don’t run empty, and offer both open and enclosed options. For routine sedan moves inside Florida or to nearby states, open transport is usually the cheapest real-world pick.

Tip: if a price looks shockingly low, ask what’s actually included. Does it cover door-to-door service? Is there a pickup window or a set date? Cheap quotes often hide fees or huge pickup windows.

We only work with licensed, insured carriers. We check MC numbers and require proof of insurance before they join our network. So you get lower rates without the guesswork.

Cost to Ship in Florida

How much to ship a car in Florida? Short answer: it depends. Same-state trips, like Tampa to Orlando, usually cost less than interstate moves. Local Florida runs often come in at a few hundred dollars. Cross-state moves rise with distance, vehicle size, and how quickly you need it moved.

Factors that affect price:

– Distance: longer runs cost more, though per-mile rates drop on really long trips. – Vehicle size and weight: trucks, big SUVs, and oversized rides cost extra. – Transport type: enclosed carriers add a premium. – Pickup complexity: tight streets, apartment lots, or required lift-gates can add time and fees.

Most Florida routes move in about 3–10 days, depending on pickup and delivery spots and truck availability. A Miami to Orlando hop is usually much faster than Fort Lauderdale to Seattle, for obvious reasons.

Shipping Cost FL to OR

How much to ship a car from Florida to Oregon? You’re moving across the continent, so expect a higher bill than a regional run. Cross-country open transport often lands in the mid to high thousands, depending on season and demand.

Price swings because long hauls burn fuel, driver hours, and tight schedules. Peak times like spring moving season or after the holidays push prices higher. Enclosed carriers cost a lot more since they carry fewer cars per truck.

Plan on about 7–14 days to move FL to OR. On a lucky routing and truck timing you might see 5–7 days. Many common routes sit in the 3–10 day band, but cross-country runs tend toward the longer side.

To save money: be flexible with pickup or delivery windows, pick open transport if the car is a daily driver, and request quotes a couple weeks ahead so carriers can plan backhauls.

Booking and Delivery

How booking works

Booking with SimpleCarShip is simple:

1. Get an online quote. Enter pickup and delivery zip codes, your vehicle info, and the dates. 2. Book and put down a small deposit to hold the carrier. 3. We assign a licensed, insured carrier from our checked network. 4. The carrier calls to set the pickup window and sort any access questions. 5. At pickup you and the driver fill out a condition report. 6. At delivery you inspect the car, sign the paperwork, and you’re done.

Pickup and insurance details

Door-to-door means the truck comes as close as local rules and truck size allow. It’s easiest for most folks and often costs a bit more. Terminal-to-terminal is cheaper but you’ll need to drop off and pick up at a carrier yard.

Carriers carry cargo insurance that covers damage while the car is on the truck. That insurance usually covers physical damage, but check limits and any deductibles. Most transport insurance does not cover personal items left inside the vehicle, so remove valuables.

At pickup you’ll do a condition report noting scratches, dents, and any mechanical quirks. Keep a copy. If something happens, that report starts the claim process.

Pickup tip: give the carrier two numbers and stay reachable during the pickup window. Most drivers will text or call the night before to confirm timing. If you need a specific date, ask about guaranteed dates. They cost more but lock in the day.

SimpleCarShip only assigns carriers who meet our terms: proof of authority, insurance, and a decent performance history. Fewer surprises, and cheap shipping that actually shows up.
