How long does Michigan to Florida shipping take?

Most Michigan to Florida moves run I-75 practically the whole way, down through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia into Florida, and take about three to five days. Northbound demand peaks in spring and southbound in fall, so booking a couple of weeks ahead during snowbird season locks a better rate. Many Michigan owners choose enclosed transport to keep winter road salt off the car, and a flexible pickup window speeds up carrier assignment.
