Shipping the other way? This page covers Indiana to Florida. For the return leg, see Florida to Indiana car shipping, which is priced and scheduled separately.

How long does Indiana to Florida shipping take?
Plan on 2 to 4 days in transit once your vehicle is picked up. Pickup is normally scheduled within one to five days of booking, and you receive real-time updates at every milestone, door to door.
Carriers generally run I-65 south to Louisville and Nashville, pick up I-24 and I-75 through Chattanooga and Atlanta, and continue down I-75 into Florida, about two to four days. Southwest Florida deliveries around Naples and Fort Myers stay on I-75 the whole way, which is why that stretch fills up first each fall. Book two to three weeks ahead for October through December southbound and March through April northbound, when this corridor is at its tightest. Gated and 55-plus communities are routine here; just let us know the gate procedure and we will brief the driver.
