Colorado to Florida Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Colorado to Florida
Denver to Orlando is about 1,850 miles, east across the Plains and down through Nashville and Atlanta. Pensacola is around 1,450, and Miami is closer to 2,080. It's three to five days of driving depending on where you're headed.
This route runs on two big flows. Every fall, snowbirds head from the Front Range to Florida's beaches and golf courses, and every spring they come back. The other is space: Guardians, engineers, and launch contractors move between Colorado Springs and Patrick SFB and Cape Canaveral. We also ship for airmen going to Eglin, Tyndall, and MacDill, and families retiring to the Gulf Coast.
Door-to-door, a final-price quote, and $0 due at booking.

The Route
How Cars Get From Colorado to Florida
Most carriers take I-70 to St. Louis, I-24 to Nashville, and I-75 south through Atlanta into Florida. From there, trucks fan out to Jacksonville on I-10 or I-95, Tampa on I-75, and Orlando and the Space Coast on the Turnpike and I-4.
The Panhandle is often served the southern way, down US-287 to Dallas and east on I-20 and I-10. South Florida is the last stop on many trucks, so Miami and the Keys take a little longer.
Along the Way
- Denver → Kansas City~600 mi
- Kansas City → St. Louis~250 mi
- St. Louis → Nashville~310 mi
- Nashville → Atlanta~250 mi
- Atlanta → Orlando~440 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Colorado to Florida
Snowbird season and hurricane season shape this route.
Fall Snowbird Rush
October through December, trucks fill up heading south. Book two or three weeks ahead.
Spring Return
March through May, the flow reverses. Southbound trucks are easier to find then.
Hurricane Season
June through November can affect any Florida coast. Keep a little slack in your dates.
Winter on the Plains
Blizzards on eastern Colorado's I-70 can close the road for a day. Leave room in your schedule.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Colorado to Florida?
Here's what moves the price between Colorado and Florida.
Distance
The Panhandle is about 1,450 miles from Denver. South Florida is closer to 2,100.
Snowbird Demand
Fall southbound and spring northbound trips cost more. Ship against the flow if you can.
Delivery Area
Major metros are easy. Gated communities and the Keys take more planning.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps hail, sun, and salt air off a nicer car.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window helps a lot during snowbird season.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
Snowbird season or not, the price we quote is the price you pay. Good for 7 days, with $0 due at booking.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Florida-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Florida
New residents have 10 days after starting a job or enrolling kids in school to title and register. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN verification. Florida doesn't require a safety or emissions inspection. Check flhsmv.gov for current requirements.
Snowbird Round Trips
Heading south for the winter? Book both legs with us and we'll plan the spring return around your dates.
Moving With the Military
We ship for Guardians, airmen, and families moving from Peterson, Schriever, Buckley, and the Air Force Academy to Patrick SFB, Eglin, Hurlburt, Tyndall, and MacDill.
Gated Communities
Many Florida neighborhoods have gate or HOA rules for trucks. Share them when you book, or pick a nearby lot.
