Florida to Washington Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Florida to Washington
Orlando to Seattle is about 3,180 miles, the longest diagonal in the lower 48. Spokane is closer to 2,900, and Miami to Seattle is around 3,400. That's six or seven long days behind the wheel.
For a trip this long, there's a surprising amount of military traffic. Submariners move between Kings Bay, just over the Georgia line, and Bangor on the Kitsap Peninsula, the Navy's two Ohio-class submarine bases. P-8 crews move between NAS Jacksonville and Whidbey Island, and Green Berets move between Eglin's 7th Special Forces Group and Joint Base Lewis-McChord. We also ship for families moving to Seattle for tech jobs.

The Route
How Cars Get From Florida to Washington
Most carriers head up through Atlanta, Nashville, and St. Louis, cross Kansas on I-70 or Nebraska on I-80, and take I-84 through Boise and Eastern Oregon before crossing into Washington on I-82 and I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass into Seattle.
Spokane is reached on I-90 from Montana. Bremerton, Bangor, and the Kitsap Peninsula are across Puget Sound by way of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and Whidbey Island is north of Seattle.
Along the Way
- Orlando → Nashville~690 mi
- Nashville → Kansas City~555 mi
- Kansas City → Cheyenne~640 mi
- Cheyenne → Boise~725 mi
- Boise → Seattle~500 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Florida to Washington
Mountain passes are the big factor on a trip this long.
Mountain Winter
Snow on I-80 in Wyoming, the Blue Mountains, and Snoqualmie Pass can close roads from November through March. Leave extra slack.
Summer PCS Season
May through August is the peak for Bangor, Whidbey, and JBLM moves. Book as soon as you have orders.
Hurricane Season
June through November can delay pickups along the Florida coasts.
Puget Sound Rain
Rain doesn't stop trucks, but it can slow city traffic around Seattle and Tacoma. Plan a little extra time for delivery day.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Florida to Washington?
Here's what moves the price on a coast-to-coast trip.
Corner to Corner
Southeast to Pacific Northwest is the longest haul in the lower 48, roughly 2,600 to 3,400 miles depending on where you start and end.
Delivery Area
Seattle, Tacoma, and Spokane are easy. Kitsap, Whidbey, and the San Juans take more planning.
Pass Conditions
When Snoqualmie or the Blue Mountains need chains, fewer drivers want the run, and winter quotes can climb.
Trailer Type
Most cars go on an open carrier. If yours is a classic or a high-end EV, an enclosed trailer keeps it out of the weather for all 3,000 miles.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Orders Timing
If you get orders early, book early. Summer slots out of Jacksonville and the Panhandle fill quickly.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
On a trip this long, a quote priced too low just leaves your car sitting. Ours is priced to move, it's your final price, and $0 is due at booking.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Washington-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Washington
New residents have 30 days to title and register at a vehicle licensing office. Washington doesn't require a safety inspection. Check dol.wa.gov for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for sailors, soldiers, airmen, and families moving from Kings Bay, NAS Jacksonville, Mayport, Eglin, and Hurlburt to Bangor, Bremerton, Whidbey Island, Everett, and JBLM.
Island Deliveries
Whidbey Island, Bainbridge, and the San Juans can involve a ferry. We'll plan the delivery point with you.
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.
