So You Wanna Ditch the Drive and Ship Your Car from Ohio to Florida, Eh?
Let's face it, a road trip from Ohio to Florida can be a drag. You've got eight hours of staring at cornfields (or, depending on your route, ten hours of arguing with your backseat drivers about the radio). Wouldn't it be sweeter to just sip on a margarita poolside while your trusty steed gets chauffeured down south? Enter car shipping!
But before you picture yourself lounging in beach bliss, the big question looms: how much will it actually cost to ship your car from the Buckeye State to the Sunshine State?

Buckle Up for the Price Breakdown (Because Buckle Up is All You'll Do!)
The honest truth? It depends. But don't let that send you running for the nearest gas station (although, a road trip snack stock-up never hurts). Here's the lowdown on what can affect the price:
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
- Distance: Cleveland to Miami is a longer haul than Cincinnati to Orlando, so naturally, the shipping cost will hitch a ride (pun intended) with the mileage.
- Carriage Class: Think of it like plane tickets. You can go coach (open trailer, which is most common and budget-friendly) or first class (enclosed trailer, pricier but shields your baby from the elements).
- Time Machine Not Included: Need your car there yesterday? Expedited shipping will cost more than letting it hit the road on the carrier's schedule.
- The Glam Factor: A beat-up pickup will likely be cheaper to ship than a tricked-out limousine (although, that would be one heck of an entrance to Florida).
Here's the Cliff Notes Version (because who wants a whole book on car shipping?):
- Expect a range of $750 to $1600 for most Ohio-to-Florida car shipments.
- Open trailers are cheaper than enclosed trailers.
- Patience is a virtue (and can save you some bucks) when it comes to shipping times.

How Long Does it Take? Generally, 2-8 days, depending on the distance and the shipping method you choose.
Is Open or Enclosed Transport Better? Open air is cheaper, but enclosed offers protection from the elements. The choice depends on your budget and car's preciousness.
Can I Ship a Non-Running Car? Yes, but some companies may charge extra. Be upfront about the car's condition when getting quotes.
What about Insurance? Most companies include basic insurance in their quotes, but double-check the coverage and see if additional insurance is necessary for your peace of mind.
