Most cars arrive 4 to 6 days after pickup.
New Mexico to Florida moves are usually retirees heading for the Gulf Coast and Central Florida, families moving closer to relatives, and job relocations to Orlando and Tampa. I-10 and I-20 carry trucks every day. Hurricane season takes the most planning.

How Cars Get From New Mexico to Florida
Florida loads take I-40 east to Amarillo and down to Dallas, thenI-20 through Shreveport to Jackson, Mississippi, and south to Mobile. From there, I-10 runs across the Panhandle to Tallahassee, and I-75 and the Turnpike lead to Orlando and Tampa.
Las Cruces loads take I-10 the whole way across Texas. Jacksonville is at the eastern end of I-10, and Miami and Fort Myers are at the bottom of the peninsula.

Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship New Mexico to Florida
Gulf weather sets the timing on this route.
Monsoon Season
July through September brings afternoon storms and flash flooding around Albuquerque and Las Cruces. Morning pickups are easier.
High-Country Winter
From December through March, snow on I-40 east of Albuquerque and around Santa Fe can push a pickup back a day.
Hurricane Season
From June through November, a storm can delay Florida deliveries a few days.
Snowbird Rush
October through December is busy heading into Florida. Book two to three weeks ahead.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From New Mexico to Florida?
Here's what decides the price on a trip to Florida.
Panhandle vs. Peninsula
Pensacola and Tallahassee come first. Orlando, Tampa, and Miami add 425 to 665 miles.
Pickup Location
Albuquerque runs through Dallas. Las Cruces runs straight across on I-10.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Florida.
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.
Gated Communities
The Villages, Naples, and many coastal communities keep car haulers out. The driver will meet you at the gate or a nearby lot.
Florida Registration
New residents need a VIN verification and Florida insurance before registering.
Las Cruces and Southern New Mexico Pickups
Las Cruces sits where I-10 meets I-25, which makes trips east and west easy. Deming is on I-10, and Silver City is a longer reach off US-180, so rural pickups there often mean meeting in town.
