How much does it cost to ship a car from Boston to Miami?
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.
Shipping a non-running car drives the price up due to additional equipment. Remote areas of the country also cost more. However, current supply and demand decides the final price.

How long does it take to ship a car from Boston to Miami?
Shipping a car from Boston to Miami 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 Boston to Miami, 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 with that all existing damages are marked before you sign. Never sign a blank or incomplete document.
Moving from Boston to the Little Cuba
If you ask retirees, they move because of the year around warm weather and relatively less expensive properties. In fact, retirees, also called snowbirds, flock to Florida in the thousands every winter. And many choose to stay and make it their permanent home. We speak from experience since shipping cars from Massachusetts to Florida is what we do year around.
Thousands of young people also choose Florida, in particular Miami, to make their new home. Florida is a good place to start a business as well as kick start a carrier. The state economy has been slowly improving and attracting people from across the country. If Florida sounds like a nice place to call home, we encourage you to research career or business opportunities and really consider Florida.
Where better to move to if not to vibrant and colorful Miami?
Like Boston, Miami also is a melting cultural hub where besides Spanish and English, you will hear over 80 different languages from all over the world. This major port city is also the seventh-most populous in the US with a population of over 2.7 million people.
Miami offers a laid-back lifestyle that is way more relaxed compared to the fast-paced Boston lifestyle. Its cuisine is delicious, its beaches are breathtaking, and its weather is something you will get used to sooner than you expect. Compared to Boston’s humid continental climate with freezing and snowy winters, Miami offers a year-round tropical weather.
Economy and Employment
The Port of Miami these past two decades has been called the “Cruise Capital of the World” since it is the busiest US port for both passenger and cruise lines. The economy of Miami is one of the richest in the US, especially because the city is an important center of culture, arts, media, and the entertainment industry.
Miami’s economy is mainly fueled by commerce, finance, international trade, and tourism. The Metropolitan Miami ranks second in the US for its developed tourism.
