Seasonal Tips for This Route

Carriers usually run north on I-75 or the Florida Turnpike, then west on I-10 along the Gulf Coast and across Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.

Hurricane season runs June through November in South Florida. A storm can hold pickups for a few days, so leave room in your plans during those months.

Gated communities and condo garages in South Florida often cannot fit a car carrier. Arrange a meeting point outside the gate and let building security know the driver is coming.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship a car from Miami to Los Angeles?
Baier's rate card prices open transport on this 2,730-mile lane at about $1,900 to $2,325 for a standard sedan and $2,125 to $2,650 for a pickup truck, for a running vehicle with a flexible pickup date. Enclosed transport adds 40 to 60 percent, and short-notice or exact-date pickups add a surcharge. Dispatch confirms the final price before booking.
How long does car shipping from Miami to Los Angeles take?
Plan on 7 to 8 days once the car is loaded. Baier calculates transit at 400 to 500 miles of driving per day plus half a day each to load and unload, which puts this 2,730-mile lane at 7 to 8 days. When pickup happens depends on matching your car with a carrier heading west, and flexible dates make that faster.
Will a Baier truck carry my car from Miami to Los Angeles?
Baier runs about half of its loads on its own trucks and half with vetted partner carriers. Baier's own trucks are based in New England, so on a Miami to Los Angeles move it books a vetted partner carrier with active FMCSA authority on the lane and stays your point of contact.
Can I ship from Orlando or Tampa instead of Miami?
Yes. Baier prices every Florida pickup on its actual road miles to the delivery address. Pickups farther north in Florida are a little closer to California, so the estimate can come in slightly lower.
