Car shipping to and from Florida
Florida is a regular run for us from the Carolinas. Trucks leave the Charlotte area on I-77, pick up I-95 and follow the coast south. We move snowbird cars, relocations and dealer inventory up and down the state.
- I-95, I-75, I-4 and I-10
- Snowbird and relocation moves
- One contact from quote to drop-off
Florida from the Charlotte area
The usual run goes south on I-77 to Columbia, then onto I-95 for the coastal drive into Jacksonville. From there, I-95 continues down the Atlantic side to Daytona Beach, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami. I-4 cuts across the middle of the state from Daytona through Orlando to Tampa, and I-75 runs down the Gulf side through Tampa, Sarasota, Fort Myers and Naples. I-10 covers the Panhandle from Jacksonville through Tallahassee to Pensacola.
Two of our regular lanes have their own pages: Charlotte to Jacksonville and Charlotte to Orlando.

Snowbirds and people relocating
A lot of our Florida work is snowbird traffic: a car heading down for the season and coming back north later. Relocations to Tampa Bay, Central Florida and South Florida ship the same way, as do students at the University of Florida in Gainesville or Florida State in Tallahassee and service members with orders to bases like MacDill in Tampa or the naval air stations in Jacksonville and Pensacola.
Book both legs of a seasonal move at once if you know the dates. Everyday cars ride on open trailers. A classic or high-value car can go enclosed. Our seasonal shipping guide has tips for snowbird timing.
Florida dealers
Dealers ship into and out of Florida for trades with Southeast stores, auction pickups, rentals and fleet units. We handle several units at once and keep the same contact on every order. When your regular carrier falls through, we work as the backup.
On loads booked under the Guaranteed Delivery Rate, the delivery window is in writing. Terms apply.
Booking a Florida shipment
Send the two addresses, the vehicle and the ready date. A real person quotes it; there is no instant quote. Once booked, the carrier is vetted and the shipment is fully insured. We confirm the driver, the truck and both windows before pickup, and if something changes on the road you hear it from us first.
Log in at fctorders.com with your email and a 6-digit code to see all your orders in one place, the driver's location while active, and the delivery BOL.

Florida car shipping questions
Can you ship my car to Florida for the winter?
Yes. Snowbird moves are a big part of our Florida work. Send both legs and your dates and we quote each one.
Do you deliver to the Gulf Coast and the Panhandle, not only the Atlantic side?
Yes. Tampa, Sarasota, Fort Myers, Naples, Tallahassee and Pensacola are all fine for pickup or delivery.
Does FCT have a Florida office?
No. We are based near Charlotte, NC, and arrange Florida shipments with vetted, fully insured carriers.
Can a dealer ship several cars from Florida at once?
Yes. Send the VINs and addresses together and one contact handles the whole order.
