Shipping Cars To and From Florida: Haulify Makes it Easy!
From the sun-drenched beaches and vibrant cities to its status as a premier snowbird destination, Florida is a dynamic hub with unique auto transport needs. Whether it's catering to the influx of seasonal residents, supporting its growing EV adoption, or serving its popular tourist routes, Haulify Auto Transport offers reliable and efficient car shipping services tailored to Florida's distinct character.
Florida is a top destination for vehicle transport, driven by its appealing climate and diverse lifestyle opportunities. Common reasons for shipping a car to Florida include seasonal relocation for "snowbirds" from colder climates, individuals and families moving to the state for its job market or retirement, and students heading to Florida's numerous universities. The state's extensive coastline and major metropolitan areas like Miami, Orlando, and Tampa make it a frequent destination for vehicles of all types. Florida also has a strong presence in the electric vehicle (EV) market, ranking second in EV registrations nationwide, leading to a demand for specialized transport for new EV purchases. Additionally, popular car events and tourist destinations often prompt people to ship unique or recreational vehicles to the Sunshine State.
Shipping a car from Florida is often driven by seasonal migration, with "snowbirds" returning to northern states after the winter, or by individuals relocating for work or other life changes. Florida's popular outbound routes frequently lead to states in the Northeast and Midwest, such as New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois, and Ohio. Military personnel also frequently ship vehicles from Florida due to Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves from the state's many military bases.

The most common and economical option, open carriers are ideal for standard vehicles. Your car is securely loaded onto an open trailer, allowing for efficient transport in Florida and across the country. This method is highly available and often offers quicker transit times, making it the most cost-effective way to ship a car to Florida for many.
For luxury, classic, antique, or high-value vehicles, enclosed transport offers maximum protection from road debris, weather elements, and other external factors. Your vehicle is transported in a fully enclosed trailer, providing an added layer of security and peace of mind. While slightly more expensive, it's the preferred choice for those seeking superior protection.
