Before pickup: why the carrier gives a pickup window, not an hour; how to prepare the car; and what the pickup inspection protects.

Driving cost: 233 mi × 76¢/mi (IRS rate) = $177, a 1-day drive. See the full math.

The route between Miami and Orlando

Florida's Turnpike for almost the entire route, about 214 of the 233 miles, with I-95 and I-4 only at the two ends.

Tolled almost the whole way: Florida's Turnpike is a cash/SunPass toll road for that 214-mile stretch.

How is this trip priced?

We have no written quote for this lane yet, so a person prices your request from a current carrier quote before anything is charged. For scale, the nearest trips we do have quotes for are Miami to Tampa (280 miles, $745 from a broker) and Orlando to Jacksonville (140 miles, $450 from a carrier). Almost all of this lane is Florida's Turnpike, a toll road, so check that any quote you get says all-in.

Check any quote, ours included, with the quote checker; quotes on other routes are on car shipping cost, and days on the truck by distance in the transit time estimator.

What can delay a shipment on this lane?

The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. A named storm near the coast can close roads, stall pickups and fill the highways with evacuation traffic for days, so a pickup booked in that stretch should have a flexible window. (National Hurricane Center, read 2026-09-26)
In a major hurricane evacuation, Florida can open the paved shoulders as an extra lane on set stretches of I-75 (including Alligator Alley), I-95 north of Jupiter, Florida's Turnpike north of West Palm Beach, I-4 and I-10. Large trucks and trailers are not allowed on the shoulder, so a car carrier stays in the slower general lanes while other traffic gets the extra lane.
