How much does it cost to ship a car from Indiana to Florida?
Several variables decide the final cost. Vehicle make and model, together with the distance set the base price for shipping. Then the choice of carrier type enters the equation.

How long does it take to ship a car from Indiana to Florida?
Shipping a car from Indiana to Florida takes about 5 to 7 days. Various factors could affect the shipping times and this means that shipping time is always an estimate. Open auto transport is usually faster and cheaper due to high availability.
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 really 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.
Standard car shipping means that a carrier will pick up your vehicle within few days. Delivery, in this case would be 5-7 days. However, please keep in mind that all dates and times are only estimates.
Expedited delivery could guarantee that your car is picked up or delivered on or by a specified date and time.
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.
What documents do I need when shipping a car?
Domestic transport is easy. When shipping a car from Indiana 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.
New life in the Sunshine State
Located in the Midwestern and Great Lakes regions in the Northern part of the States, Indiana is the 17th most populous state in the US. Florida, on the other hand, is the fourth most populous and the 8th most densely populated state in the US.
Florida’s population has been growing fast due to the flux of people, and especially snowbirds, moving to the Sunshine State from different parts of the country every day. And it’s no wonder why! Florida has great weather, robust economy, and beautiful nature.
Unlike Indiana’s humid continental climate with cold winters and hot summers, in most parts of Florida, subtropical climate with mild winters and hot and humid summers prevails. The state also experiences a great number of hurricanes and tropical storms.
Housing and Living Costs
Living costs in most popular cities in Florida are more expensive than in Indiana. If you move from Orlando to Indianapolis your living costs will increase by 7%, while the median home cost in Orlando is 79% more expensive. Tallahassee is relatively more affordable than Orlando. Living costs in Tallahassee are 5% more expensive than in Indianapolis, while the median home cost is 35% more expensive.
Besides Tallahassee and Orlando, cities like Pensacola, Jacksonville, Miami, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Fort Myers, Sarasota, and Fort Lauderdale are also some of the best places to live in Florida.
Economy and Employment
In mid-July 2018, the Florida Chamber Foundation announced that Florida’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) surpassed the $1 trillion mark. The state of Florida has one of the best economies in the US. Also, it would rank the 17th as the largest economy in the world if Florida was an independent country.
“This is a historic moment for Florida reaching a record $1 trillion in GDP. By working every day to create private-sector jobs, we’ve been able to increase Florida’s GDP by more than $270 billion – 37 percent – since 2010. When I came into office I made it very clear that we would get our economy back on track. Within seven and a half years, private-sector businesses have created more than 1.5 million jobs and Florida’s unemployment is at a low 3.8 percent. Florida’s growing economy is producing real results for families across our state and we now have the 17th largest economy in the world,” according to Governor Rick Scott.
Florida’s economy is mainly based on trade, financial services, manufacturing, construction, transportation services, and tourism.
