Ship Car to Miami — Get Your Miami Car Shipping Estimate

How it works

Three steps between you and the Magic City

No driving 1,300 miles down I-95. No borrowing a trailer. No rental-car shuffle at MIA. Here's the whole process:

1

See your range

Share your route, vehicle and date above. Your estimated range appears instantly, priced for the open or enclosed transport you selected.

2

Confirm with a specialist

A Miami shipping specialist contacts you within 15 minutes in business hours to lock in your exact quote, carrier and pickup window — including the local delivery details for your building or community. Want it held? A $250 reservation fee locks your spot. No pressure, no obligation.

3

We drive, you relax

Your carrier picks up at your door, keeps you updated on the road, and delivers in Miami. You inspect the car together at drop-off — done.

Neighborhood by neighborhood

We deliver where Miami actually lives

"Miami" on a map is seven different delivery puzzles. Here's how each neighborhood works when a carrier pulls up with your car:

Brickell & Downtown

Miami's high-rise canyon. Most towers have a designated loading zone or service entrance — some reserve it through the concierge, some are first-come. We confirm your building's routine before dispatch, and time arrivals outside Brickell Avenue rush hour.

Local note: loading zones on Brickell Ave & Brickell Bay Dr fill by mid-morning
ZIPs: 33130, 33131, 33132

Miami Beach & South Beach

Art deco streets, tight curb space and seasonal street closures around Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue. Carriers stage on wider avenues and meet you a short walk from the door when your street is too tight for a full rig.

Local note: spring-break and event weekends change the plan — we route around them
ZIPs: 33139, 33140, 33141

Coral Gables & Coconut Grove

Tree-canopied streets, gated estates and strict neighborhood character. Some Gables communities require the carrier's details at the gate in advance, and low canopy on older streets decides exactly where the truck can stop.

Local note: gate passes are arranged before your pickup window, not at the gate
ZIPs: 33134, 33146, 33133

Wynwood & Midtown

The arts district's mural walls come with warehouse streets that are easy for carriers on weekdays and festival-tight on weekends — especially around Art Basel season in December. Street-side delivery is the norm here.

Local note: weekday deliveries beat the weekend gallery crowds
ZIPs: 33127, 33137

Aventura & North Miami Beach

Condo towers along Aventura Boulevard and the Intracoastal, plus sprawling gated communities. Buildings on the water often route deliveries through a service road — your specialist maps it with the carrier ahead of time.

Local note: a favorite snowbird landing zone — heavy seasonal volume, book early
ZIPs: 33160, 33180, 33162

Doral & the Airport West side

Miami's logistics heartland — wide streets, warehouse districts and master-planned communities near MIA. The easiest carrier access in the county, and the natural choice for airport-area pickups and drop-offs.

Local note: minutes from Miami International — ideal for fly-in moves
ZIPs: 33122, 33166, 33178

Hialeah & Miami Lakes

The working heart of Miami-Dade — wide industrial avenues, family neighborhoods and easy truck access almost everywhere. Hialeah Gardens and Miami Lakes deliveries are as straightforward as Miami gets.

Local note: bilingual coordination available for pickup and delivery contacts
ZIPs: 33010, 33012, 33014, 33016

Somewhere else in Miami-Dade?

Kendall, Pinecrest, Cutler Bay, Homestead, Key Biscayne, Bal Harbour, Sunny Isles — if it has a Miami-Dade ZIP, a carrier runs it. Enter your ZIP in the form above and we'll recognize the city instantly.

Local note: 100+ Miami-Dade & Broward ZIPs recognized in the form above

Local pickup & delivery know-how

The Miami details that make or break a delivery

A car carrier is 75 feet long. Miami was not designed for 75-foot trucks — so the local details get sorted out before your pickup window, not during it.

Condo loading zones — Brickell, Aventura, the Beach

Many towers require a reserved loading-dock slot or a certificate on file before a carrier can enter. Your specialist confirms your building's rules and books the slot, so the truck isn't circling the block on delivery day.

Gated communities — Coral Gables, Doral, Weston corridor

Guard gates often need the carrier's name and truck details in advance, and some communities keep carriers at the gate while you meet them there. We find out which way your community works and plan the handoff accordingly.

Airport & port moves — MIA and PortMiami

Flying in? Cars are commonly delivered near Miami International or met at a nearby lot in Doral. PortMiami cruise and cargo staff moves run on their own schedules — tell your specialist and the delivery is timed to your arrival, not the other way around.

Snowbird season — October through April

Southbound trucks fill from October, peak December–January, and the whole flow reverses in spring. Seasonal customers who book both directions early get the widest choice of dates — and the same driver often runs the return.

Moving to Miami

Relocating? Let the car be the easy part.

A Miami move already comes with a new lease, a new commute and a new everything. Shipping the car instead of driving it down I-95 buys you a flight, two hotel-free days, and a car that arrives without 1,300 extra miles on it.

Time it to your keys — most people land the car 1–2 days after they get the apartment, so there's a driveway (or a reserved loading slot) waiting for it.
Second cars & student cars — snowbird second cars and UM / FIU student moves are Miami staples; both directions can be planned in one conversation.
Bought a car out of state? — dealers and private sellers hand off to carriers every day; pickup works the same from their lot as from your driveway.
Florida paperwork heads-up — new residents register and title their cars in Florida after arrival; your specialist can point you at the Miami-Dade tax collector offices most newcomers use.

Open vs. enclosed

Choose how your car travels

Both are door-to-door and fully insured. The right choice depends on your car — and whichever you select in the form is exactly what your estimate is priced for.

Open transport

Your car rides on an open multi-car carrier — the same method dealerships use to move new cars across the country.

Best value on every Miami route
Fastest scheduling — most carriers run open
Right for everyday cars, SUVs and trucks

Maximum protection

Enclosed transport

Your car travels inside a fully covered trailer, shielded from weather and road debris from pickup to delivery.

Built for classic, luxury & collector cars
Soft straps and lift-gate loading on most trailers
Priced higher — reflected in your estimate when selected

Questions, answered

Miami car shipping FAQ

The things everyone asks before they ship to the 305.

How is my estimated range calculated?

From your route distance, vehicle size and type, your pickup timing, and whether you chose open or enclosed transport. Your range appears on screen as soon as you submit your details, and your specialist confirms the exact quote when a carrier is matched to your dates.

When do I actually pay?

Your estimate is free and nothing is due to request it. When you accept your confirmed quote, you can reserve your spot for $250 — that reservation fee locks in your spot and pickup window, and your specialist walks you through the fee and the remaining balance before anything is charged. No payment is collected on this page.

How long does shipping to Miami take?

Most East Coast routes take 3–5 days on the road; Southeast hops like Atlanta can be 1–2 days, and coast-to-coast runs 6–8 days. Your pickup window is confirmed when you book — see the route table above for typical times.

I live in a Brickell high-rise — where does the truck actually go?

Most Brickell and downtown towers have a loading zone or service entrance, and some reserve it through the concierge. Your specialist confirms your building's routine before dispatch and schedules the delivery around it — if a full-size rig can't reach your tower, the carrier meets you at the nearest workable spot, usually within a few blocks.

My community is gated. How does delivery work?

Very commonly in Coral Gables, Doral and Aventura. Some gates want the carrier's details in advance; others have the driver wait at the gate while you come out. Either way it's arranged when you book, so delivery day has no surprises at the guard house.

Can my car meet me at Miami International or PortMiami?

Yes — airport-area deliveries around MIA and Doral are routine, and PortMiami moves can be timed to a ship or work schedule. Mention it to your specialist and the handoff point is planned into your booking.

I'm a snowbird — can you bring my car back north in spring?

Absolutely. The spring return is the same process in reverse, and March–April northbound routes out of Miami are a specialty. Mention the return trip to your specialist and both directions can be planned together.

Can I put things in the car?

Most carriers allow a modest amount of personal items in the trunk (commonly up to about 100 lbs). Keep valuables, documents and fragile items with you, and confirm the exact allowance with your specialist when you book.

Is my car insured during transport?

Yes — carriers in the network carry cargo insurance, and the carrier's coverage applies while your vehicle is in transit. Your specialist confirms the carrier's details with you before pickup, and you inspect the car together at both ends.

What if my plans change after I submit?

Nothing is locked in by requesting an estimate. If your dates or destination change, just tell your specialist when they contact you — your quote is simply recalculated for the new plan.
