About This Route
Shipping a Car from Florida to Minnesota
The Florida to Minnesota corridor covers roughly 1,400–1,600 miles depending on your exact pickup and delivery cities. This is one of the longest active snowbird corridors we run — Minnesota has one of the highest concentrations of seasonal Florida residents in the country, and carriers move vehicles on this lane year-round in both directions. Whether you're a snowbird heading home in spring, relocating, or shipping a purchased vehicle, we handle the entire move door-to-door.
Carriers on this lane run I-75 north through Georgia and Tennessee, connecting to I-65 north through Kentucky and Indiana, then I-90 west into Minneapolis and the Twin Cities metro. Most standard vehicles are picked up within 1–3 days of booking.
⚠ Peak Season Notice
April–May (northbound snowbirds returning to Minnesota) is the busiest period. October–November sees heavy southbound traffic. Book 2–3 weeks ahead during peak windows. Winter shipping to Minnesota may add 1 extra day for weather delays.

April through May is the northbound snowbird peak — Minnesota residents returning home after winter in Florida. This is the busiest period so book 2–3 weeks ahead. June through September offers the best rates and fastest pickup windows. Avoid shipping to Minnesota in January and February if possible due to winter weather delays.
Do you offer door-to-door service from Florida to Minnesota?

Is it cheaper to ship or drive from Florida to Minnesota?
Shipping is almost always the better value on this route. Driving from Miami to Minneapolis is over 1,500 miles — that's 22+ hours of driving, 2 nights in hotels, and $200–$350 in fuel. Shipping starts at $650 and gets your car there without you adding miles or wear during a long highway trip.
Can you ship a non-running vehicle from Florida to Minnesota?
Yes. We handle inoperable vehicle shipping on this route using winch-equipped carriers. Non-running vehicles cost slightly more — get a quote with vehicle condition set to "non-running" for an accurate price.
