Cheapest Way to Ship a Car From Florida to Philadelphia

With so many customers asking questions about saving money without compromising on safety or reliability, it is worth addressing this question. There are several factors to consider when shipping, but if you make the right choice in shipping, you can save a lot of money on your total shipping cost.

Open Auto Transport

The cheapest and most popular method of interstate vehicle shipping is now open carrier car transport. Your car is driven on the same kind of multipurpose vehicle builder used by vehicle dealerships throughout the United States.

Benefits include:

Lowest transportation cost
Faster carrier availability
Ideal for standard vehicles
Safe and fully insured
Most popular shipping method

Open transport is generally the most cost effective when it comes to Florida to Philadelphia car transport.

Enclosed Auto Transport

Higher value, collectible, classic, exotic and luxury vehicles are often shipped in an enclosed space. This is because the inside of an enclosed shipment offers extra protection from weather, dust, road debris, and other external factors when in transit.

Enclosed transport is recommended for:

Exotic sports cars
Luxury sedans
Classic automobiles
Antique vehicles
Custom-built cars
Show vehicles

Enclosed shipping is more expensive than open shipping, but some people prefer the added security.

Door-to-Door Car Shipping

The most convenient shipping options available are door-to-door transport.

We have a truck that can come pick up your car as near as lawfully and safely as possible to your business or home, rather than meet at a shipping terminal. The car is then sent close to the destination in Philadelphia.

Advantages include:

No terminal visits
Less time and effort
Greater convenience
Reduced handling
Faster overall process

The majority of customers select door to door shipping due to the ease of shipping.

Terminal-to-Terminal Shipping

Terminal shipping is an alternative option for customers that want to save on shipping costs when a shipping facility is available.

With this service:

You drop your vehicle at a designated terminal.
The carrier transports it to another terminal near Philadelphia.
You collect your vehicle from the destination terminal.

This might be a cost-saving alternative in some cases, but with fewer terminals available than door-to-door transport.

Expedited Auto Transport

Looking for a fast car transport?

Customers who need to relocate ASAP can also benefit from the expedited scheduling that Ship A1 Auto Transport provides.

Expedited shipping is ideal for:

Last-minute moves
Military relocation
Emergency travel
Job transfers
College deadlines
Vehicle purchases

To ensure the earliest possible pickup and delivery, our logistics team strives to allocate the carrier that can deliver the earliest.

Customer Reasons

Why People Ship Cars From Florida to Philadelphia

Florida and Pennsylvania continue to be one of the most active cross-border vehicle transport routes in the U.S. Thousands of cars cross each of these states annually for different reasons, personal or business related.

Common reasons include:

01

Relocating for Work

Professionals move to Philadelphia for job offers in the healthcare, education, financial, technology, manufacturing and government industries. By shipping the car, they can make the process of moving into their new home a lot easier, thus avoiding a lengthy long-distance trip.

02

College & University Students

Shippers are often students who attend college and university in the Philadelphia area that chose to ship their vehicles rather than driving long distances. Professional auto transport is an easy solution particularly during the semester changes and vacations.

03

Military PCS Relocation

Military families often relocate from Florida to Pennsylvania and vice versa. Professional vehicle transport makes permanent change of station (PCS) moves much easier by safely and timely transporting vehicles.

04

Snowbirds Returning North

A large number of people live in Florida for the winter months, and then move back to Pennsylvania in the spring and summer. They prefer to not make the lengthy drive back, so professional car shipping is the better alternative as it helps them save time, which also helps them avoid driving fatigue.

05

Online Vehicle Purchases

The purchase of an online vehicle has been growing in popularity. Regardless of whether you are buying from an auto dealer, private party or auto auction, shipping enables you to receive your vehicle safely without having to travel several hundred miles.

Pricing

How Much Does Car Transport From Florida to Philadelphia Cost?

One of the first questions customers ask is:

"How much does it cost to transport a car from Florida to Philadelphia?"

Cost Breakdown

Factors That Affect Florida to Philadelphia Car Shipping Prices

Each shipment is unique, with a number of factors affecting the final quote.

01

Distance

The longer the shipping or transportation distance, the higher the overall shipping or transportation cost. On interstate runs, however, the cost per mile may be lower, making them more cost effective than shorter runs.

02

Vehicle Type

Compact sedans are smaller and lighter than larger vehicles like pickup trucks, SUVs, cargo vans and lifted vehicles, and thus may cost less to ship.

03

Transport Method

Open carriers are the most affordable, enclosed transport is more costly, as it is able to fit fewer cars and provide extra security.

04

Seasonal Demand

Shipping rates for vehicles may vary throughout the year. Routes between Florida and northern states may be busy during winter snowbird traveling or during the summer traveling seasons.

05

Pickup & Delivery Locations

Routes between the major metropolitan areas tend to be quicker and cheaper to transport vehicles than to other outlying or rural areas, where carrier access is more limited and frequencies lower.
