Pickup in Colorado: What to Expect
Carriers picking up vehicles in Colorado are familiar with the area and can load at most residential and commercial addresses without issues.
Colorado to Florida is a statewide corridor with pickups from every Colorado city. Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Pueblo are the highest-volume origins. Carriers frequently combine multiple Front Range pickups before heading southeast.
The I-25 south to I-40 east route is the most common path. Some carriers take I-70 east to I-44 through Missouri, depending on their other stops. Our 14 Colorado offices coordinate pickups daily for Florida-bound shipments. This is one of our highest-volume corridors, so carrier availability is consistently strong.
Delivery in Florida: What to Expect
Your vehicle arrives in Florida on a professional car hauler, inspected at both pickup and delivery with a signed Bill of Lading.
Florida's a big state, and your delivery experience depends on where you're heading. Jacksonville is closest and easiest to reach. Orlando, Tampa, and the I-4 corridor are heavily trafficked by carriers. Southwest Florida (Fort Myers, Naples) and Southeast Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach) add distance but are well-served.
Florida's flat terrain and wide streets make door-to-door delivery straightforward in most areas. Beachfront condos and gated communities may require meeting the carrier at the entrance or a nearby lot. Florida's warm, humid climate means no winter weather concerns at delivery. Hurricane season (June through November) can occasionally affect scheduling.

Best Time to Ship from Colorado to Florida
Timing your shipment right can save you $100 to $300 and get your vehicle on a carrier faster with shorter wait times.
Summer (June through September) is the cheapest time to ship from Colorado to Florida. Snowbird demand evaporates, Florida's heat keeps relocation traffic lower, and carriers are looking for loads. You can save 15-25% compared to peak snowbird rates.
October through December is the most expensive period for southbound shipments. April and May are expensive for northbound returns. If you must ship during snowbird season, booking 4-6 weeks early is critical for both pricing and availability.
Route Conditions: Colorado to Florida
Every route has its quirks, from mountain passes and desert heat to winter storms and urban delivery challenges. Here's what carriers face on this one.
Colorado to Florida covers a lot of ground (1,700-2,000 miles) but doesn't involve extreme terrain. The route crosses the High Plains, the Gulf states, and the Florida peninsula. No mountain passes to worry about once the carrier leaves Colorado's I-25 corridor.
Weather is the main variable. Winter storms in Colorado and the southern Plains can affect the first leg. Summer thunderstorms in the Gulf states are brief. Hurricane season in Florida (especially August through October) is the biggest concern at the delivery end. Our dispatchers monitor tropical weather and adjust schedules when necessary.

Transit time is 4 to 7 days. Jacksonville can arrive in 4-5 days, while Miami typically takes 5-7 days due to the extra distance down the Florida peninsula.
Is this a snowbird route?
It's our busiest snowbird corridor. Thousands of Colorado residents ship their cars to Florida each fall and return each spring. Our snowbird shipping service is designed specifically for these seasonal moves.
When is the cheapest time to ship to Florida?
June through September offers the lowest rates. Snowbird season (October through April) is the most expensive, with October and November being peak pricing months for southbound shipments.
Can you ship to the Florida Keys?
We can deliver to Key Largo and the upper Keys, but the Seven Mile Bridge and narrow streets in the lower Keys may require meeting the carrier in Homestead or Florida City. We'll work out the best delivery plan.

Occasionally. If a hurricane threatens your delivery area, we'll delay until conditions are safe. This happens rarely (1-2 times per year at most) and we communicate proactively throughout any weather event.
