Ship a Car from Atlanta to Miami
The Southeast’s two biggest metros, linked by one straight shot down the Florida peninsula — this lane carries snowbirds heading south for the winter, families relocating between Georgia and South Florida, students, and buyers who found the right car at the other end of I-75.
Typical transit is 1–2 days door to door once your vehicle is loaded. Most cars move on open transport — the standard way the majority of vehicles travel, with insurance coverage included. Classic, luxury, and exotic owners often step up to enclosed transport for full protection from weather and road debris along the way.
Below you’ll find the typical price ranges for this route, how the process works, and the details that actually move the price. The ranges below are a guide — your exact price depends on your specific pickup and delivery cities, since a pickup well outside the Atlanta metro or a delivery deep into the Keys prices differently than metro to metro. The quote form gives you a price for your specific cities.

What affects the price on this route
The typical ranges above are for a standard sedan shipping metro to metro. Here’s what moves your quote within — or outside — those ranges.
Distance — about 660 miles
Mileage is the backbone of every quote. Your specific pickup and delivery cities set the exact distance — and metro-to-metro moves price better than remote or hard-to-reach endpoints, where a carrier has to travel out of its way to reach you.
Vehicle size & weight
A compact sedan takes one standard slot. Large SUVs, trucks, and heavy vehicles take more trailer space and weight capacity, so they price higher.
Running condition
A vehicle that runs, steers, and brakes loads in minutes. A non-running vehicle needs a winch and extra handling, which adds to the price.
Open vs. enclosed
Open transport (typically $700–$1,100) is the standard for everyday vehicles. Enclosed (typically $1,100–$1,700) puts your car inside a covered trailer.
Season & timing
Demand on this lane climbs in summer and during snowbird season, when carriers fill up fast and prices follow. If your dates are flexible — even by a day or two — you’ll usually price better than a fixed, must-move date.
Ways to save on this route
- Stay flexible on pickup dates. Carriers fill trucks around their own schedules and reward flexibility — even a day or two of give usually prices better than a fixed, must-move date.
- Book 1–2 weeks ahead in peak season. Summer and snowbird months fill trucks on this lane fast — booking early gives you a better price and a wider choice of pickup days.
- Ship metro to metro when you can. Pickup and delivery in metro areas price better than remote or hard-to-reach locations, where a carrier has to deadhead to reach you.
- Choose open unless the car calls for enclosed. Open transport (typically $700–$1,100) is the best value for everyday vehicles — save enclosed for a classic, exotic, or high-value car.
Good to know for this route
- This is a high-volume snowbird corridor. Carriers run Atlanta to Miami constantly in fall and winter, so pickup windows are usually short — and the spring return north books up just as fast.
- Florida afternoon storms are routine. Summer pickups and deliveries in South Florida often shift by a few hours around daily thunderstorms; your driver will keep you posted if weather moves the schedule.
- Miami delivery streets can be tight. In dense neighborhoods, condo districts, and gated communities, the driver may arrange a nearby wide street or lot for delivery if a full-size hauler cannot safely reach your door.
- Book 2–3 weeks ahead at peak season. October through January and the spring return are the busiest windows on this lane — early booking gives you a wider choice of pickup days.
Preparing your car for pickup
A few quick steps before the driver arrives make pickup smooth — and protect you if anything comes up in transit.
- Keep the fuel tank about a quarter full. That’s plenty for loading and unloading, without the extra weight of a full tank.
- Remove personal items and loose accessories. Carriers aren’t insured for belongings left inside the vehicle, so clear out anything you can’t replace.
- Wash the car before pickup. A clean car makes the pre-shipment inspection photos accurate, so any existing marks are documented clearly.
- Note any existing damage with the driver. Walk the car together at pickup and make sure it’s recorded on the bill of lading before you sign.
- Disable alarms and remove toll tags. It prevents surprise alarms in transit and toll charges piling up along the way.
- Have a spare key ready if possible. The driver needs a working key for loading and unloading at both ends.

How long does it take to ship a car from Atlanta to Miami?
Typical transit is 1–2 days door to door once your vehicle is picked up. Carriers average roughly 500 miles a day. At about 660 miles, many vehicles are picked up and delivered within the same week of booking, and one-day transit is common once the truck is loaded.
Is this a good route for snowbirds shipping south for the winter?
Yes — Atlanta to Miami is a core snowbird lane. Every fall, carriers run full loads down I-75 and Florida’s Turnpike, and the trucks come back north loaded in spring. Because volume is so strong both ways, pricing on this lane is competitive for a route of its length. If you are heading south for the season, booking 2–3 weeks ahead in October through January gives you the widest choice of pickup days.
Can you deliver to a condo or gated community in Miami?
In most cases, yes — service is door to door to your address. Some Miami condo towers, gated communities, and narrow residential streets cannot accommodate a full-size car hauler. When that happens, the driver will arrange the nearest accessible meeting spot with you — usually a wide street or parking lot a short distance away — so handoff stays quick and convenient.
Can you pick up or deliver outside the main metro areas?
Yes. We pick up across the Atlanta area — Atlanta, Marietta, Sandy Springs, Decatur, Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek, Brookhaven — and the surrounding metro. — and deliver throughout the Miami area. Service is door to door to your exact address wherever a full-size carrier can safely and legally reach it — and if a street is too tight, the driver will arrange the nearest accessible meeting spot with you. Keep in mind the figures on this page are based on the Atlanta and Miami metro areas — pickups or deliveries well outside those metros can price differently, which is why the quote form asks for your specific cities.
