How much does it cost to ship a car from Michigan to Florida?
How much should it cost me to ship a car from Michigan to Florida? My dad had major back surgery, and I’m trying to move back home to take care of him.
That said, you can use these tips to lower the cost of shipping:
Opt for a slower shipping speed: The faster the delivery, the faster the shipping company needs to move. Sometimes, you can actually find a lower price by selecting a later delivery time.
Meet them in the middle: If you have the time, it may be cheaper to have the shipping company bring it halfway and drive it home from there!
Pick a slow time of year: Shipping costs tend to spike around the holidays, so having your car shipped at slower times of the year can help you secure a lower rate.
Shop around: As is the case with most services, the first one you find will rarely be your cheapest. Gather estimates from a few different companies before you pick one.
Hopefully, those tips help you secure as low a price as possible. Good luck with your move, we hope your father has a speedy recovery!
