Florida to Kansas Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Florida to Kansas
Orlando to Kansas City's Kansas suburbs is about 1,260 miles, up through Atlanta, Nashville, and St. Louis. Wichita is closer to 1,400 from the peninsula, but only about 1,015 from Pensacola. It's about three days of driving.
There's a direct Air Force link here. MacDill AFB in Tampa and McConnell AFB in Wichita are both big air refueling bases, so tanker crews move between them regularly. We also ship for officers heading from CENTCOM and SOCOM to Fort Leavenworth, soldiers going to Fort Riley, and people taking jobs in Overland Park and Wichita's aviation plants.

The Route
How Cars Get From Florida to Kansas
Peninsula loads head up I-75 to Atlanta, take I-24 through Nashville to St. Louis, and follow I-70 west into Kansas City. Lawrence, Topeka, Manhattan, and Fort Riley are farther west on I-70, and Fort Leavenworth is just north of Kansas City.
Wichita is often faster from the Panhandle, west on I-10 and up through Dallas and Oklahoma City on I-35.

Timing
When to Ship Florida to Kansas
Military moves and Plains weather set the timing.
Summer PCS Season
May through August is the peak for McConnell, Fort Leavenworth, and Fort Riley moves. Book as soon as you have orders.
Spring Storms
April through June is tornado and hail season across Missouri and Kansas. Drivers wait out warnings.
Hurricane Season
June through November can delay pickups along the Florida coasts. Keep a little slack in your dates.
Fall
Usually smooth, with good rates on trucks leaving Florida. KU and K-State football weekends make Lawrence and Manhattan busy.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Florida to Kansas?
Here's what affects the price on this route.
Distance
Wichita is about 1,015 miles from Pensacola. Central Florida to Kansas City is about 1,260.
Season
Summer PCS moves raise demand. Fall is often the best value leaving Florida.
Delivery Area
Kansas City, Wichita, and the bases are easy. Western Kansas towns take more planning.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps hail and road debris 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 lets us catch a truck already heading west.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Kansas-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Kansas
New residents have 90 days to title and register at the county treasurer's office. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN inspection by the Kansas Highway Patrol. Check ksrevenue.gov for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for airmen, officers, soldiers, and families moving from MacDill, Eglin, Hurlburt, and other Florida bases to McConnell, Fort Leavenworth, and Fort Riley.
Base Housing Pickups
MacDill and other Florida bases have rules for commercial trucks. We'll work with you on a gate or a nearby meeting spot.
Florida Pickups
Gated communities, HOA truck rules, condo garages, and tight streets in places like Miami Beach and Key West can keep a carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-95, I-75, I-4, or the Turnpike.

FAQ
Florida to Kansas Car Shipping FAQs
How long does it take to ship a car from Florida to Kansas?
Usually 3 to 5 days after pickup.

It depends on your exact pickup and delivery locations, vehicle size, open or enclosed transport, and the season. Request a free quote and you'll get a final price, good for 7 days.
Do you ship cars for tanker crew moves from MacDill to McConnell?
Yes. It's a common Air Force move between the two refueling bases. Give us your report date when you request a quote.
Does Kansas require a vehicle inspection?
Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN inspection by the Kansas Highway Patrol before titling. There's no safety or emissions inspection.
Is it cheaper to ship or drive from Florida to Kansas?
Driving 1,000 to 1,400 miles means two or three days, hotel nights, gas, and food. Shipping costs about the same and saves the trip.
Can you ship a car from Kansas back to Florida?
Yes. Request a quote with your Kansas pickup address and your Florida delivery address. Every shipment is door-to-door.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with must carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is recorded on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the car aren't covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the balance to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
