Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Calgary to Tampa, Florida

On long-haul routes like California to Florida, car shipping typically ranges from $1,417 to $2,190 and delivery times can run 7-15 days.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping often becomes more cost-effective when factoring in gas, food, lodging, wear-and-tear, and time, making it worth paying a carrier to avoid the hassle and expense of a long solo trip, though driving saves on carrier fees but adds travel time and costs.
