Shipping a car in Miami

Miami is one of the larger markets in Miami-Dade County, Florida, with roughly 487,014 residents, the 2nd largest of the Florida cities we cover. In a city this size the harder part of a booking is usually access rather than finding a truck: a full-size car hauler runs about 75 feet and needs somewhere it can legally stop and turn. Confirm the loading point when you book rather than leaving it to the driver on the day.

Pickup coverage around Miami is dense. Hialeah (9 mi), Doral (10 mi) and Miami Gardens (10 mi) all sit inside a short drive, and a route built across that cluster can usually take in several stops before joining I-75, I-95, and Florida's Turnpike. The limits here tend to be physical rather than logistical: narrow residential streets, low branches and gated entries are the common reasons a driver asks to meet at a nearby lot instead.

Miami is itself an endpoint on a published corridor. Miami to Chicago runs 1,345 miles on a 4 to 6 day transit, typically $850 to $1,150 for a standard vehicle on an open trailer. Those figures are a firm reference for anything moving that direction.

Elsewhere in Miami-Dade County we also collect in Aventura, Doral, Hialeah and Homestead and 1 more. A booking that shares a truck with a neighbouring pickup is usually the cheaper option, so it is worth mentioning if you are moving more than one vehicle.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Miami pickup as for any other, so they are covered once rather than on every city page. Before pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to look up on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate. How to prepare your car for shipping covers the wash, fuel level and personal items, and the Bill of Lading guide explains the condition report you sign at both ends.
