Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Panama City

Shipping a car from Pennsylvania to Florida generally costs between $900 and $1,300 for open transport, potentially a bit more for enclosed, with rates depending heavily on the season (snowbird rush increases price), carrier, and vehicle size, typically taking 2-8 days. Expect prices around $882-$1,326 for the ~1,100-mile trip, with open carriers being cheaper than enclosed options.

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.
