Miami Beach auto transport
Shipping a car to or from Miami Beach
Miami Beach is an island, so every car carrier reaches it over a causeway: the MacArthur Causeway into South Beach, the Venetian and Julia Tuttle causeways into Mid-Beach, and the 79th Street and Broad causeways into North Beach, Surfside and Bal Harbour. Once across, most pickups happen on or near Collins Avenue, Alton Road or Indian Creek Drive.
Miami Auto Shipping is part of the Auto Shipping Near Me network. We work with local carriers who run your exact route, from Miami to anywhere in the 48 contiguous states, and connect you directly. No load boards, no broker markup. Call us locally at (786) 539-3334.
Most Miami Beach moves are seasonal residents coming down for the winter, owners sending a car back north in spring, and new residents moving into a condo. We handle both directions and pick up as close to your building as a full-size carrier can safely reach.

Good to know
Shipping from Miami Beach: what to expect
Condo and valet buildings
Most Miami Beach deliveries go to a tower, not a driveway. A carrier can’t pull into a garage, so ask your building about loading-dock hours and whether valet can bring the car down at a set time. Share those rules when you book.
Tight streets and parking rules
South Beach streets are narrow and curb space is scarce, especially on weekends and during big events. Your driver may call ahead and meet you on a wider street or a nearby lot, used with the owner’s OK.
Salt air, rain and storms
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and heavy rain can flood low streets. Carriers reschedule around storms for safety. For a car you want kept out of salt spray and debris, ask about enclosed transport.

Open or enclosed
Open transport
The most popular and economical choice. Your vehicle rides on an open carrier, the way dealers move most of their inventory. Ideal for everyday cars, trucks and SUVs.
Enclosed transport
Your vehicle rides inside a covered trailer, shielded from weather, salt air and road debris. The right call for classic, luxury, exotic and high-value vehicles.
Questions
Miami Beach car shipping FAQ
How much does it cost to ship a car from Miami Beach?
Miami Beach shipments are priced on Miami lanes. On Auto Shipping Near Me’s live route pages, Miami to Naples starts at $300 for open transport, Miami to New York at $965 and Miami to Boston at $1,060 (checked Oct 28, 2026). These are ballpark starting estimates. Prices change with fuel, the season and events, and your exact quote depends on the vehicle, your Miami Beach address and the dates.
Can the carrier pick up at my condo building?
Yes, door-to-door means as close to your door as the truck can safely reach. At high-rises that is usually the loading dock or a nearby street. If your association needs a certificate of insurance or a set delivery window, tell us when you book so the carrier can handle it before pickup day.
When is the busiest time to ship to or from Miami Beach?
Snowbird season. Cars come south from about October through December and head back north from about March through May. Book a few weeks ahead in those windows and give a pickup range instead of a single day. Our snowbird season guide covers the timing.
Should I choose open or enclosed transport?
Open transport is the most economical and works for most daily drivers. Enclosed transport keeps the car covered from weather, salt air and road debris, so it’s the usual choice for classic, exotic or high-value vehicles. Enclosed costs more and there is less of it on each lane, so book it earlier.
Who actually moves my car?
A licensed carrier. We find and vet the carrier who runs your route, then connect you directly. You get one quote and one point of contact.
