Several factors influence the final price for shipping your car approximately 1,500–1,600 miles along the East Coast. Key factors affecting the car shipping cost Florida to Maine include:
Distance: The 1,500–1,600-mile stretch from Florida to Maine is a primary cost driver.
Vehicle Size & Type: Larger vehicles (SUVs, trucks) require more space on the carrier and cost more than standard sedans.
Vehicle Condition: Non-running vehicles require special equipment (like a winch) for loading and unloading, which increases the cost.
Transport Method: Open auto transport Florida to Maine is the standard, most economical choice. For maximum protection from weather and road debris, enclosed auto transport Florida to Maine is available at a premium cost.
