Everything you need to know about this lane in 30 seconds.
The Chicago-to-Orlando corridor runs roughly 1,165 miles down through Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville, Atlanta, and into Central Florida via I-65 and I-75. It is one of the highest-volume long-haul lanes in the country — driven by snowbirds, vacation-home owners, theme-park travelers, and full-time relocations to the booming Central Florida metro.
Most shipments take 4 to 6 days in transit once loaded, with a typical pickup window of 1 to 3 business days from booking. Carrier capacity is strong year-round, with the heaviest demand during snowbird peak (Oct–Dec), spring break (March), and the Christmas/New Year holiday window.
We pick up across the entire Chicago metro — the city, North Shore, West and South suburbs, DuPage and Lake counties, and northwest Indiana. Central Florida delivery covers Orange, Osceola, Lake, and Seminole counties, with most deliveries running to Lake Nona, Winter Park, Dr. Phillips, Windermere, Celebration, Kissimmee, Davenport, Clermont, Altamonte Springs, and the surrounding theme-park and vacation-home corridors.

How much to ship a car from Chicago to Orlando?
Most Chicago-to-Orlando shipments run $900 to $1,300 for open carrier, depending on vehicle size and time of year. Snowbird peak (Oct–Dec) runs 15–20% higher. Enclosed transport adds 40–60%.
How long does the route take?
Standard transit is 4 to 6 days from pickup to delivery. The 1,165-mile route has strong carrier capacity year-round, with the heaviest demand during snowbird and spring-break peaks. Pickup windows are typically 1 to 3 business days from booking.
When is the best time to ship?
Off-peak (Jan, May through Sep) offers the lowest pricing and most flexible pickup windows. October through early December is the highest-demand window. Spring break adds a March mini-peak. Booking 3 weeks ahead during peak season locks in better rates.
Do you offer enclosed transport?
Yes. Enclosed is recommended for classic, exotic, luxury, or low-clearance vehicles — common for Lake Nona, Winter Park, and Dr. Phillips deliveries. The cost is 40–60% higher than open carrier but offers full weather protection.
