Seasonal tip
Snowbird traffic runs south in late fall and back north in spring, so this southbound route is busiest from October through December. One to two weeks of notice is usually enough at other times of year; in peak snowbird weeks, three weeks leaves more room to find a truck for your dates.
Route overview
Detroit to Orlando is about 1,160 miles, heading south on I-75 South. The published transit of 3 to 5 days after pickup works out to roughly 230 to 390 miles a day, slower than driving it yourself because the truck stops for other vehicles and federal rules cap the driver at 11 hours behind the wheel per shift.
The published range for a standard sedan on an open carrier is $800 to $1,100, about 69 cents to 95 cents a mile.
If your street in Detroit or Orlando is too narrow, too steep or too tree-lined for a full-size carrier, the driver will arrange to meet at a nearby open lot instead.
Open transport suits most vehicles on a route this long. Enclosed trailers cost more and earn it for classic, luxury and low-clearance cars, which would otherwise ride 3 to 5 days exposed to weather and road grit.

Every partner is licensed and insured. Before the Detroit pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to check on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate; the Bill of Lading guide explains the inspection you sign at both ends, and the disclaimer sets out who is responsible for what.
