There has always been a lot of car shipping to and from North Carolina given its large college population, but there is even more car shipping to and from the state because of the growing desire for families, professionals, and retirees wanting to move to the state. North Carolina isn't alone as all the states in the southeast such as South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida are seeing an increase in car shipping demand.
There are several "friendly" car shipping locations in North Carolina given the number of interstates in the state. For the most part, if you are shipping a car to and from a location that is on or near the interstates, you'll be good to go, especially if those locations are larger cities.
The most friendly car shipping locations in North Carolina are Charlotte in the west/southwest along I-77 and I-85, and the cities of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill near the center of the state along I-40 and I-85. These are the largest population centers in the state with large college populations so there is no shortage of car carriers going to and from these cities.
Other friendly car shipping locations in North Carolina include those cities along I-40, from Asheville in the west, to Winston-Salem and Greensboro in the north central part of the state. Winston-Salem and Greensboro are particularly popular hot spots for car carriers given the population in these areas and the additional trucking corridors in the area, the I-74 and I-73 interstates.
Another friendly car shipping location in the state is Fort Bragg and Fayetteville in the south-central part of the state along I-295 and I-95.
The most challenging car shipping locations in the state are along the East Coast, from Elizabeth City on the northeast coast to Wilmington on the southeast coast. Car carriers don't travel along the coast on a regular basis so shipping cars to and from these locations can take additional time and money to complete.
Other challenging car shipping locations include those locations along the northern border of North Carolina. It's a huge "dead zone" for car carriers as it's located directly south of rural Virginia with no interstates for miles!

We do a lot of transports to and from Florida, particularly snowbird transports between Florida and New York (and New York to Florida). There are five areas of Florida that we primarily ship to and from. Those areas include northeast Florida, central Florida, southeast Florida, southwest Florida, and the panhandle. The sixth area that we do transports for, but not nearly as often, is the Florida Keys.
The most popular shipping hub for auto transports in and out of Florida is Miami in southeast Florida. Other popular cities in the area include West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Fort Lauderdale. Any transports to or from southeast Florida, particularly Miami, we can get done pretty quickly, but of course these cities are further south in Florida so these transports will be more expensive than cities located in the northern parts of the state.
Speaking of the northern part of the state, Jacksonville in the northeast section of the state is a great car shipping location! In fact, it's one of the better car shipping locations in Florida.
The major cities in central Florida such as Orlando, Daytona Beach, Ocala, Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and Lakeland are all great car shipping locations.
In the southwest Florida, the cities of Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Naples are all solid car shipping locations as well. Again, keep in mind that the further south you go down into Florida, the more your transport will be so Naples will be more expensive than Tampa, for example.
Heading back up north to the panhandle, Tallahassee is the best car shipping location in the panhandle, but the rest of the cities along the panhandle are hit or miss depending on the shipping location on the other side of the transport. Car carriers shy away from the panhandle unless they are shipping to or from the cities in the panhandle, such as Panama City and Pensacola, to or from cities along I-10 in the southern part of the country. I-10 is a busy cross-country trucking corridor that runs through the panhandle and through Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Otherwise if you are shipping to or from the panhandle cities to or from the northwest, north, or northeast, these transports can be challenging at times (can take more time and more money to complete).
The most challenging area to ship to or from Florida is the Florida Keys. While we can certainly do these transports, we rarely do them as so few people are going to or from the Keys with their vehicles. Shipping to or from any of the cities along the Keys (Key Largo, Marathon, Key West) will be your most expensive transport options in Florida. You can save a lot of money shipping to or from the Keys by meeting a carrier in Miami instead!
One other interesting note about carriers that do Florida auto transports, they rarely serve both coasts of Florida with the same truck load. A carrier will either do all his transports along either the west or east coast on one trip, and then the other coast on another trip. He will rarely pick up and deliver vehicles on both coasts on the same trip. That means if your vehicle is being picked up or delivered in Miami, for example, that carrier will be traveling along the east coast of Florida with his current load of vehicles.
As a door-to-door auto transporter, we can ship to and from any location in Florida. It doesn’t matter if you’re shipping to or from Key Largo or Jacksonville or anywhere in between, we can handle it!
