Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Dallas, Texas to Panama City

Shipping a car from Texas to Florida generally costs $900 to $1,600, with most people paying around $1,100 - $1,400 for standard open transport, but prices vary significantly based on specific cities, vehicle size, transport type (open vs. enclosed), and current demand. Expect to pay roughly $0.60 - $1.00 per mile, with longer routes becoming cheaper per mile but costing more overall, and enclosed transport costing 20-30% more.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

Selecting an open transport carrier is the cheapest way to ship your car. It costs an average of $0.93 less per mile compared to a closed carrier. Booking at least two weeks in advance can help you get the best price because it allows more drivers to bid on your job.
