From the Gold Coast to the Gulf Coast
There comes a point every Connecticut fall when the leaves have done their thing, the mornings require a coat, and Florida starts making a very persuasive argument.
Autos On The Go provides professional Connecticut to Florida auto transport for seasonal residents, families, executives, collectors and anyone else who would rather have their vehicle transported south than spend two days staring at I-95.
We’ve been arranging long-distance auto transport since 2008, and the Northeast-to-Florida corridor is one of the routes we know best. We move vehicles up and down it every week, pricing the lane, vetting carriers and coordinating each shipment from pickup in Connecticut through delivery in Florida.
If you’re comparing costs before booking, you’ll also find Connecticut-to-Florida shipping rates, city-to-city estimates and a simple per-mile pricing guide below.

Car Shipping From Connecticut to Florida
Connecticut may be a small state, but anyone who has spent a Friday afternoon on I-95 knows it can take its sweet time getting across it.
We arrange vehicle pickups throughout the state, with frequent service in and around:
- Greenwich
- Stamford
- Westport
- Fairfield County
- New Haven
- Hartford County
From the Gold Coast and lower Fairfield County to central Connecticut, we coordinate pickup based on where your vehicle actually is, not just the nearest major city.
That matters when you’re dispatching a full-size car carrier.
A quiet residential street in Greenwich, a tight driveway in Westport and a commercial pickup in Stamford are three very different situations. When necessary, we’ll coordinate a nearby location where the carrier can safely load without turning your neighborhood into an impromptu traffic study.
Connecticut to Anywhere in Florida
Palm Beach County gets plenty of Connecticut plates once the weather turns, but our service extends throughout Florida, including South Florida, the Gulf Coast and popular seasonal destinations like Naples.
We arrange Connecticut to Florida car shipping to destinations including Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville and The Villages, along with smaller communities throughout the state.
Your Florida destination doesn’t need to be a major metropolitan area.
If your winter place is tucked away on the Gulf Coast, down in the Keys, or somewhere between Orlando and absolutely nowhere, talk to us. We arrange transport throughout the state.
We Know I-95. Very Well.
For Connecticut-to-Florida transport, I-95 is the main artery.
It starts locally through Greenwich, Stamford, Bridgeport and New Haven before carrying southbound traffic through New York and the Mid-Atlantic, past the Carolinas and Georgia, and eventually into Florida.
It’s also one of the most heavily traveled auto transport corridors in America.
That sounds simple. The pricing isn’t always.
Carrier availability changes with the season. Demand shifts direction. Pickup location matters. The exact Florida destination matters. A vehicle leaving Greenwich for Boca Raton can be considerably more attractive to a carrier than one requiring significant mileage off the main corridor.
After nearly two decades arranging auto transport, we understand those differences.
More importantly, we know the difference between a competitive quote and a number that was made artificially low just to get you on the phone.
We prefer the former.
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Connecticut to Florida?
Most Connecticut-to-Florida vehicle shipments travel roughly 1,200 to 1,400 miles, depending on the exact pickup and delivery cities.
During southbound snowbird season, a useful rule of thumb is approximately $1 to $2 per mile, with open transport generally falling toward the lower end and enclosed transport toward the higher end.
That puts many Connecticut-to-Florida shipments in the $1,200 to $2,800 range, depending on the vehicle, transport method, exact route and time of year.
These aren’t fixed rates. Auto transport pricing changes with carrier availability and seasonal demand, but these ranges give you a realistic starting point.

| Route | Approx. Mileage | Open Transport | Enclosed Transport |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greenwich → Boca Raton | 1,250 miles | $1,250–$1,650 | $1,800–$2,400 |
| Stamford → West Palm Beach | 1,250 miles | $1,250–$1,650 | $1,800–$2,400 |

| Hartford → Naples | 1,400 miles | $1,400–$1,850 | $2,000–$2,700 |
These are planning estimates for standard-size, operable vehicles. Exact rates depend on vehicle size, transport type, pickup and delivery locations, carrier availability and seasonal demand.

Quick Per-Mile Car Shipping Calculator
Want to estimate your Connecticut-to-Florida shipping cost yourself? Start with the mileage between your pickup and delivery cities.
Open transport: approximately $1.00–$1.35 per mile
Enclosed transport: approximately $1.40–$2.00 per mile
For a 1,300-mile trip, that works out to approximately:
Open: $1,300–$1,755
Enclosed: $1,820–$2,600
This is a rule of thumb rather than an instant quote. A standard sedan traveling from Greenwich to Boca Raton can price differently from an oversized SUV traveling from rural Connecticut to Naples during peak snowbird season.
Snowbird Auto Transport From Connecticut
Every year, plenty of Connecticut residents make the same migration.
The summer is spent in New England. The temperature drops. The golf clubs migrate south. So does the car.
Our snowbird auto transport service is designed for customers who make Connecticut-to-Florida shipping part of their annual routine.
Rather than adding roughly 1,200 to 1,400 miles to your vehicle, paying for fuel and hotels, and discovering exactly how long Virginia can feel from behind a windshield, you can fly south and have your vehicle transported separately.
For repeat seasonal customers, the process becomes even easier. We already know the route, the vehicle and what you expect from us.
Open or Enclosed Transport to Florida?
For most everyday cars, SUVs and pickup trucks, open auto transport is the practical choice. It’s the most widely available form of vehicle shipping and generally the most economical.
For higher-value vehicles, we also arrange enclosed auto transport from Connecticut to Florida.
Enclosed service is especially popular with customers transporting Ferraris, Porsches, Bentleys, Rolls-Royces, classic cars, collector vehicles and other automobiles where additional protection is worth the added cost.
Connecticut has no shortage of cars we wouldn’t casually toss onto the first truck with an empty spot.
We’ll recommend the transport method that makes sense for the actual vehicle.
Popular Connecticut to Florida Routes
While we arrange vehicle transport from anywhere in Connecticut to anywhere in Florida, some routes see particularly strong seasonal demand. Lower Fairfield County and South Florida are natural counterparts, with plenty of vehicles making the trip in both directions each year.
Greenwich to Florida Auto Transport
Lower Fairfield County deserves particular attention because it generates a significant amount of seasonal and high-value vehicle traffic.
For customers shipping from Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, New Canaan and Westport, access to the I-95 corridor makes South Florida a natural transport lane.
Boca Raton, Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami are particularly common destinations.
If you maintain residences in both Connecticut and Florida, we can arrange the southbound move in the fall and the return trip north when New England becomes civilized again.
Connecticut to Palm Beach and Boca Raton
South Florida is one of the most natural destinations for vehicles leaving Connecticut.
We regularly coordinate transport into Palm Beach County and the surrounding area, including Boca Raton, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach and Palm Beach.
For customers traveling between the Northeast and South Florida seasonally, this is not some obscure lane we need to figure out from scratch. It’s part of the broader East Coast corridor our carriers travel constantly.
When Should You Book Connecticut to Florida Car Shipping?
Fall is the obvious busy season for southbound snowbird traffic.
As temperatures fall in Connecticut, demand for Florida-bound carriers rises. In spring, the pattern reverses.
If you know your travel dates, booking ahead gives us more flexibility around your preferred pickup window. It can also help avoid the scramble that occurs when half of New England apparently decides to leave during the same week.
That said, auto transport rarely operates on an airline-style schedule.
Pickup and delivery dates are windows because carriers contend with traffic, weather, other customers, equipment and federal driving-hour restrictions along the way.
We’ll give you realistic expectations from the beginning.
Working with a tighter timeline? Expedited auto transport may be available when your pickup date requires priority scheduling.
