Florida to Maryland Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Florida to Maryland
Jacksonville to Baltimore is about 765 miles up I-95. Orlando is closer to 900, and Miami to the D.C. suburbs is around 1,045. It's two days of driving.
There's a strong naval aviation link here. Pilots, engineers, and sailors move between NAS Jacksonville and Pensacola and Patuxent River, where the Navy tests its aircraft. We also ship for officers moving from MacDill to Fort Meade and the D.C. area, staff and families heading to the Naval Academy, and Maryland snowbirds going home in the spring.
Door-to-door, a final-price quote, and $0 due at booking.

The Route
How Cars Get From Florida to Maryland
Most loads ride I-95 straight up through Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia into the D.C. area, then around the Beltway to Baltimore, Annapolis, and Fort Meade.
Patuxent River and Southern Maryland are reached on US-301 or MD-4. Ocean City and the Eastern Shore are often faster by crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel from Virginia Beach and coming up the Delmarva on US-13.

Timing
When to Ship Florida to Maryland
Military orders and snowbird season shape this route.
Summer PCS Season
May through August is the peak for Pax River, Fort Meade, Andrews, and Naval Academy moves. Book as soon as you have orders.
Spring Return Rush
March through May, northbound I-95 trucks fill up with snowbirds. Book a couple of weeks ahead.
Beltway Traffic
Rush hour around Washington and Baltimore can add hours. Drivers plan around it.
Hurricane Season
June through November can delay pickups along the Florida coasts. Keep a little slack in your dates.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Florida to Maryland?
Here's what affects the price between Florida and Maryland.
Distance
North Florida is about 750 miles from Baltimore. South Florida is closer to 1,100.
Snowbird Demand
Spring northbound trips cost more. Fall is often the best value.
A Busy Lane
I-95 carries heavy truck traffic, which keeps prices competitive outside peak weeks.
Delivery Area
Suburban addresses are easy. Baltimore rowhouse blocks and historic Annapolis streets usually need a meeting spot.
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 north.

Get My Florida to Maryland QuoteGood to Know
Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Maryland-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Maryland
New residents have 60 days to title and register with the MVA. Most out-of-state vehicles need a Maryland safety inspection first, and many counties require VEIP emissions testing. Check mva.maryland.gov for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for sailors, aviators, airmen, officers, and families moving from NAS Jacksonville, Pensacola, Mayport, and MacDill to Pax River, Fort Meade, Andrews, and the Naval Academy.
Base Housing Pickups
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.

Does Maryland require a vehicle inspection?
Yes. Most out-of-state vehicles need a Maryland safety inspection before registering, and many counties also require emissions testing.
Is it cheaper to ship or drive from Florida to Maryland?
Driving 800 to 1,100 miles means two days of I-95 traffic, a hotel night, gas, and tolls. Shipping costs about the same and saves the trip.

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.
