How much does it cost to ship a car from Chicago to Florida?


The final cost depends on a few variables. Vehicle make and model, together with the distance set the base price for shipping. Then the choice of carrier type enters the equation.

Shipping a non-running car drives the price up due to additional equipment. Shipping to and from the remote areas of the country present a logistical challenge, hence, also cost more. However, current supply and demand decide the final price.

CORSIA - Five Star Rated Company

Corsia rep (Elena) was very proactive. Helped ship a car from CA to GA. She checked in with me via email quote and several phone calls to find me the best possible quote for the fastest available service. After several communications, Corsia was able to schedule a vehicle pickup the next day. The driver communicated well, and the vehicle arrived in final destination faster than we expected in perfect condition. I highly recommend using Corsia's reliable, efficient service.

Thanks, Corsia! Pickup was so clean, efficient, and wonderful -- my only recommendation is to make sure you schedule it during the day so you can fully review the car in the daylight. Drop off was equally wonderful, and the whole trip went down without a hitch (pun intended!). Seriously, Corsia delivered my Jeep from CT to California with no issues or bumps in the road!

High five's all around! Corsia was highly recommended by a friend in the automobile industry. We needed to transport a cargo van from Seattle to Florida. We contacted Corsia who quickly arranged transport within just a few days. Communication was outstanding! Just a few email confirmations and we were all set. Mike was great and arrived right on time and delivered to Florida on schedule. Tip-avoid the hornets nest of auto brokers on line and just contact Corsia for a truly great experience!

Corsia Memphis to LA, mid-size SUV. I looked at 4 different companies amd Corsia was the most responsive of them. While being responsive, they were not unduly aggressive: when I indicated that I need to wait a month before making a decision they stopped contacting me and only came back with a reminder when I really needed it. Once I decided to engage Corsia they found me a transport within two days and the car was delivered (from Memphis to LA) in another two days. I had a truly positive experience.

Working with Corsia Logistics was a great experience. Working with Corsia Logistics was wonderful. They were able to find a driver right away to transport our car. They were in constant communication as to when the car was getting picked up and dropped off. The driver also communicated with me as to when he would arrive. I would highly recommend Corsia Logistics.

Excellent Organization Corsia was an excellent company to work with while I transferred my car across the US. A friend of mine suggested I use them as they had been very organized and trustworthy with her own car. I researched a few different place but decided to go with Corsia and I'm so glad I did! Any questions I had throughout the process they answered quickly and clearly. I would definitely use them again in the future and recommend them for others to use.

Looking for a logistics company, to ship my car, from California to Illinois,my first search, then Corsia showed up, skeptical. Call and a very friendly secretary: Elena. She guided me through, I scheduled and as she explained, all when smooth as scheduled Very happy I did the right choice. I'll recommend this great Company to anyone that is thinking to relocate a vehicle. Thanks Corsia logistics for your honesty and professionalism!

Corsia has been amazing. Their prices are really competitive but more importantly their customer service has been 5-Star. Elena followed up with me every step of the way, making sure there was no miscommunication between me & the driver. We are using them to ship a 2nd vehicle & would not hesitate to use them again!

I have recently used Corsia for long time family car with sentimental value that was moved I have recently used Corsia for shipment of my vehicle from Oregon to Arizona by recommendation from other family member who also used Corsia in the past. I am very pleased on the service and the communication throughout shipment. Ken was my direct contact and kept me informed along the move The car was picked up and delivered as communicated. I did use a enclosed mover and the driver was also clean cut professional and treated car as his own. I would definitely recommend Corsia again with the experience I have had. Thank you. T

How long does it take to ship a car from Chicago to Florida?

Shipping a car from Chicago to Florida takes 3 to 5 days. However, various factors affect the transit times. This means that the shipping time is always an estimate. Open auto transport is usually faster due to higher availability of open car carriers.

What services does CORSIA offer?

Corsia Logistics provides the following car shipping services:

by carrier type: open and enclosed trailer

by time frame: standard and expedited delivery

Choosing a carrier type depends on the type of vehicle you need to ship. Standard everyday sedans, such as your Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, usually go on an open-air trailer. If you need to ship a high-end sports or luxury automobile, or any classic vehicle you should choose enclosed trailer.

Expedited delivery could guarantee that your car is picked up or delivered on or by a specified date and time.

car shipping dealers

Open auto transport is the standard solution. It is faster and cheaper. Open carriers are readily available and this makes them efficient and preferred by private customers and businesses alike.

Enclosed auto transport is a preferred solution for sports and high-end automobiles. It offers complete protection from weather and road elements. However, it could take a bit longer to book and schedule. It is more expensive as well.

Enclosed carrier transport

What documents do I need when shipping a car?

Domestic transport is easy. When shipping a car from Chicago to Florida, you or someone on your behalf must release the vehicle to the carrier at pick-up.

The person at pick-up will also need to sign a Bill of Lading (BOL). The BOL is a receipt and an inspection report. When the carrier inspects the car you need to check that all existing damages are marked before you sign. Never sign a blank or incomplete document.

From the Windy City to the Sunshine State

 

For a long time now, Florida has been a safe haven for retirees. But they are not the only ones chasing after the southern sun. Young adults in their 20s and 30s have been moving there as well. Freezing temperatures and bone-chilling winds force Chicagoans to leave the city for the warmer climate of the Sunshine State.

Florida Weather

In Florida, unlike Chicago, you will experience summer temperatures all year round. Still, be prepared for extreme heat and high humidity in thew summer.

Ironically, Florida is not all sunshine either. The state has 17 out of the top 30 cities for lightning, making it the lightning capital of the U.S. Hurricanes have become a regular occurrence across the peninsula. All that still does not stop Chicagoans from making their way to the Sunshine State.

Meet the Floridians

Once in Florida, you’ll be surprised at the number of people who are not permanent residents. The state has become a real melting pot of folks from all over the country, and the world, mainly thanks to the snowbirds. You can search for snowbirds communities online and start making connections before you head down to the Sunshine State. And even if you are moving to Florida on a permanent basis, you may still find valuable information within the snowbird communities.

The two Floridas

People who have visited Florida confirm that there are differences in the atmosphere in the two regions, too. Usually, the panhandle is considered socially conservative and more economically disadvantaged. The northwest Florida’s economy depends primarily on military bases, beach tourism, agriculture and fishing. By contrast, central and southern Florida has theme parks, NASA and a very strong defense contracting industry. Naturally, this defines the diversity in people, too. Their mentality and attitude towards life is rather different, so make sure you do your research in advance. Visit the two Floridas, meet locals and get a feel of the environment before you decide to settle.

Cost of Living

In moving to Florida from Chicago, you may be able to afford a bigger house as real estate prices are lower than in the Windy City. Unless, of course, you chose Miami to be your new home. Another perk of being a Florida resident is the absence of personal income tax, and lower sales and property taxes.

Economy and Employment

The state’s economy is mainly fueled by trade, financial services, manufacturing, construction, and transportation services.  Tourism keeps thriving and contributing to the economy as well.

Job opportunities in the Sunshine State are also abundant with open job positions in various industries. The state is also one of the best states for starting a business. So if you plan to open your own company and be your own boss, Florida is one of the ideal states to do so.

Moving to Florida with a car

If you are planning on one of the following:

  1. spending more than six consecutive months in Florida
  2. accepting employment in the state
  3. registering to vote
  4. enrolling your kids to one of Florida’s public schools
  5. filing for a homestead exemption

Thus, you will be considered a resident of the state. Hence you’ll need to get a Florida drivers license. You will have 30 days from establishing your Sunshine State residency to apply for the new document. Registering your out-of-state vehicle in Florida is also a must, and you only get 10 days to complete it once you have officially moved. Visit Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Administration for exact vehicle registration and Florida drivers license requirements.
