Florida to Minnesota Car Shipping

Our team has been in the car shipping industry for a long time. We worked for some of the largest brokers and knew there was a better way to do things.

So we set out to create a company that would be different. We want to walk you through how the process works and we guarantee to match any price you hear from a competitor.

We're a scrappy team that looks forward to earning your business.

Preparing your vehicle for the Florida to Minnesota route takes just a few simple steps. Start by removing any toll passes, personal items, and fragile accessories that could shift or break during transit. Clean out the interior and secure loose parts like mirrors or antennas.

Make sure your vehicle is in working condition—check that the battery has a charge, the tires are properly inflated, and the brakes work well. The carrier will need a valid key or access device to load and unload your car, so have one ready. If your car won't start, let the carrier know ahead of time.

Document your vehicle's condition with photos before pickup. Note any existing damage so there's no confusion when the car arrives in Minnesota. Keep your fuel tank around a quarter full—not empty, not full—to reduce weight and safety risks during transport.

Yes, your vehicle is insured during transport from Florida to Minnesota. All carriers in our network carry minimum liability insurance of $1,000,000 and cargo insurance of $100,000. Before we book your shipment, we verify that each carrier's insurance is valid and active for the entire duration of your transport.

This insurance covers damage or loss that may occur during transit. However, we recommend reviewing your own auto insurance policy to understand your coverage options. Some policies extend to shipped vehicles, while others have gaps. Learn more about valid insurance requirements for car shipping.

Our commitment since 2012 has been to make car shipping transparent and fair. That means ensuring your vehicle is protected every step of the way, from pickup in Florida to delivery in Minnesota.

We recommend scheduling your pickup at least two to three weeks in advance when shipping from Florida to Minnesota. This gives carriers enough time to find compatible shipments and bundle your vehicle with others heading the same direction, which helps you get better rates.

That said, the sooner you schedule, the better. Posting your shipment as soon as you know your timeline opens up more carrier options and increases the chances of finding a direct or efficient route. If you need your car moved faster, we offer Expedited Car Shipping Services for time-sensitive situations.

Keep in mind that seasonal factors can affect availability. Winter months may require longer lead times due to weather considerations, so plan accordingly if you're shipping during that period. For more details on how seasons impact your shipment, check out our Winter Summer Car Shipping Snowbirds Guide.

Bottom line: give yourself at least two to three weeks, but don't wait—book as soon as you can.

We accept all forms of payment. We can arrange credit cards or arrange for you to pay the carrier directly through cash/certified check. We even accept payment via Cash/Zelle/Venmo.

Open transport is the most affordable option for shipping your car from Florida to Minnesota. Your vehicle travels on an open trailer with other cars, exposed to the elements and road debris. It's a reliable choice for most vehicles and everyday cars.

Enclosed transport costs significantly more—typically 50% to 100% higher than open trailers. Your car is fully protected inside a covered carrier, shielded from weather, dust, and debris. This option makes sense if you're shipping a classic car, luxury vehicle, or a car with a custom paint job that needs extra protection.

The choice depends on your vehicle's value and your budget. If you're moving a standard sedan or truck, open transport gets the job done at a lower cost. If you own something special worth protecting, enclosed transport is worth the investment. Learn more about your shipping options with our How To Ship A Car guide.

Yes, we offer door-to-door service for car shipping from Florida to Minnesota. When you book with us, we'll pick up your vehicle from your preferred location in Florida and deliver it directly to your specified address in Minnesota.

Here's how it works: At booking, provide us with your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will then arrange to collect your car from that location and transport it to your destination. We work hard to make this happen exactly as you request.

That said, we're transparent about the reality of auto transport. In some cases, pickup or delivery at a specific address may not be possible due to transportation restrictions, road conditions, or safety concerns. If this happens, our carrier will work with you to find an alternative nearby location—like a gas station, parking lot, or truck stop—that works for everyone.

Door-to-door service is the most convenient option for shipping your vehicle, and it's what we strive to provide on every Florida to Minnesota shipment. Learn more about the entire process in our How To Ship A Car guide.
