Everything you need to know about this lane in 30 seconds.
The Chicago-to-Miami corridor runs roughly 1,375 miles down through Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville, Atlanta, and the length of the Florida peninsula via I-65 and I-75. It is the highest-volume snowbird lane on our manifest and one of the most active long-haul auto-transport routes in the country.
Most shipments take 5 to 7 days in transit once loaded, with a typical pickup window of 1 to 3 business days from booking. Carrier capacity is excellent year-round on this lane — the volume of regular traffic means consistent availability even during peak weeks.

South Florida delivery covers Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, with most deliveries running to Miami Beach, Aventura, Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Palm Beach Gardens.
