What to know about shipping a car from Florida to Washington.

A car leaving Florida for Washington usually comes in from the east, through Montana and Spokane, rather than up the coast. That puts the Cascades between it and Seattle or Tacoma at the very end of the trip. In summer, though, they make no difference at all.

When does a car carrier from Florida need chains to reach Seattle?

Every truck over 10,000 pounds crossing Snoqualmie Pass has to carry chains from November 1 to April 1, and a loaded car carrier always qualifies.

The rule covers I-90 from North Bend to Ellensburg. Washington can post chains for heavy vehicles alone, on a day when lighter traffic still goes over without them. When those signs go up, the driver pulls over to fit chains and takes the climb slowly. It’s routine for the driver, and it’s where the winter hours go on this run.

Tacoma deliveries cross the same pass. Avalanche control can also hold all traffic on Snoqualmie for up to two hours at a time through the winter, longer after a big storm, and a delivery caught behind it arrives that much later.

What does a car need after it arrives in Washington?

If the move makes you a Washington resident, these are the state's rules for the car.

Deadline
Get a Washington driver's license, then register the car, within 30 days of moving.
Where
A vehicle licensing office, separate from the driver licensing office, with the current title. Plates are issued at the counter; by mail they can take up to 3 weeks.
Inspection
None for an ordinary car. Emissions checks ended on January 1, 2020, and a car from another state is screened against theft records instead of inspected. Rebuilt and total loss cars are still inspected by the State Patrol.
Insurance
Liability insurance from an insurer authorized in Washington, at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for injuries and $10,000 for property damage.
Tax
No use tax on a car owned and used in another state for more than 90 days before the move, if it's registered within 30 days. A car bought within 90 days of moving owes use tax, less sales tax paid elsewhere.

Checked October 2026 against Washington Department of Licensing, Department of Revenue, Department of Ecology, State Patrol. Rules change; the state's own site has the final word.

Car hauling burns diesel. We fund the work to clean it up.

How the contribution works →

Common questions, plainly answered.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Florida to Washington?

Open transport from Florida to Washington runs $1,800 to $2,450. Miami to Seattle, about 3,300 miles, is priced at $1,900 to $2,300, and Orlando to Seattle or Tacoma at $1,850 to $2,250.

How long does it take to ship a car from Florida to Washington?

Most cars are delivered in Washington 5 to 9 days after pickup in Florida. Orlando is about 3,075 road miles from Seattle, and Miami just over 3,300.

What if my car is damaged?

If you find damage at delivery, note it on the bill of lading before signing. We will manage the claim with the carrier from there.

Should I choose open or enclosed transport?

Open transport is the standard choice for most vehicles. Enclosed transport costs 40 to 70% more and is appropriate for high-value vehicles, classics, low-clearance sports cars, and any car where weather exposure or road debris is a real concern.

Can I put stuff in my car when shipping?

You can leave up to 100 pounds of personal items in one piece of luggage, placed in the trunk or cargo area. Some carriers will accept additional weight for an added fee; we can arrange this for you after booking.

Is my car insured during transport?

Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.

What happens if weather delays my shipment?

The truck waits until the road is safe to drive, and your pickup or delivery date moves with it. We'll confirm the driver's new window with you as soon as the road reopens. Snow on the mountain passes and in the northern states, and hurricanes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, are the usual causes.

When am I charged?

The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
