Chicago to Miami Enclosed Car Shipping

We run the Chicago to Miami lane in our own enclosed trailers, covering roughly 1,380 miles down the I-65 and I-75 corridor. This route works well for collector cars, dealer transfers and anyone who wants the vehicle protected from road debris and weather the whole way. Pickup covers the city, the North Shore, the western suburbs and northwest Indiana, with delivery across South Florida.

Why Enclosed Makes Sense on This Lane

Chicago winters bring salt and road spray that are hard on paint and trim. An enclosed trailer keeps the vehicle out of that mix for the entire drive south. For a Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren or any car with real value, that protection matters more than a few dollars saved on open transport.

We own and operate our own enclosed trucks, so the vehicle isn't handed off between carriers along the way. Insurance on enclosed transport runs up to $4,000,000, well above what many other companies carry, which tops out around $250,000. Inside the trailer we use soft straps instead of hard straps, because hard straps can scratch or bend rims.

Pickup Around Chicago, Delivery in South Florida

We pick up in the city, the North Shore, the western suburbs like Naperville, Oak Brook and Hinsdale, and across the line into northwest Indiana. Wherever the car is sitting, our driver comes to it. Home delivery is free unless the address sits in a restricted area or is hard for a truck to get into.

On the Florida end we deliver to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and other South Florida points. The driver calls or texts when en route so someone can be there to meet the truck. At both pickup and delivery, the driver walks around the vehicle with the customer and someone signs off at each end.

How Booking and Pickup Day Work

We start with a free custom quote sent by email, usually within 24 hours, and that number is the final price with no hidden fees added later. A deposit is due at booking and the balance is due on delivery, and we accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover and ACH. You'll need the vehicle registration, license and insurance ready for the driver.

The car can travel with a full tank, and depending on the transport and the vehicle's weight, we may be able to carry luggage or cargo too, as long as the driver can still operate the vehicle safely. Our trailers fit vehicles up to 90.5 inches wide, which covers most exotics, and we've hauled cars like the Lamborghini Aventador and Pagani Huayra. Office support is available 24/7 if anything comes up before or during the move.

A Seasonal Lane for Collectors and Dealers

A lot of what moves on this lane is seasonal. Collectors send cars south ahead of winter to keep them out of the cold and road salt. We work with dealers like Chicago Motor Cars along with private collectors, so the trucks are used to handling everything from exotics to race cars and antiques.

GPS monitoring lets us track the truck's progress, and the driver stays in touch with updates during the trip. The trailers are modern, with a wireless wide liftgate that makes loading low cars easier on both ends. Climate controlled storage is available too, which comes in handy if a car needs to sit before or after the drive. Whether the car is headed to a showroom floor or a private garage, the pickup and delivery process stays the same.

Do You Have Questions?

How wide a vehicle can you ship enclosed on this route?

Our enclosed trailers handle vehicles up to 90.5 inches wide. We've shipped cars like the Lamborghini Aventador, Pagani Huayra and Mercedes G550 4x4 in that same trailer size.

Can I leave gas in the tank for the trip to Miami?

Yes, the vehicle can travel with a full tank. Depending on the transport and the car's weight, we may also be able to carry luggage or cargo as long as the driver can still operate the vehicle.

What paperwork do I need before pickup in the Chicago area?

Have the vehicle registration, license and insurance ready for the driver. The driver will also walk around the car with you before loading, so it helps to be there at pickup.

Will the truck deliver directly to a gated community or condo in Miami?

Home delivery is free unless the address is in a restricted area or hard for a large truck to enter. In those cases we may need to meet at a nearby spot large enough for the trailer.

Does the same truck handle the whole Chicago to Miami run?

Yes, we operate our own enclosed trucks, so your vehicle stays on our truck for the full drive instead of being transferred between carriers.
