A lot of the cars leaving Nashville are following a move to Florida, which with Kentucky takes the most people leaving Tennessee, and since I-40, I-24 and I-65 all cross in the city, a carrier has an easy start whichever way it’s headed. The part that takes planning is a car bought here by someone who lives in another state, because the tax break on that sale comes with a three-day clock.
Within three days of the sale, if you’re buying from a dealer and want it free of Tennessee sales tax. As a buyer from another state you sign an affidavit that the car will leave for your home state within three days, the dealer charges no Tennessee tax, and any tax is then a matter for the state where you register it. Pickup comes as a window of days rather than a set hour, which is why it pays to have the quote and the pickup window first and then agree the sale date with the dealer to fit them, rather than signing and booking the truck afterwards. If your state tests emissions, the test happens there, since Tennessee hasn’t tested a car since early 2022.
Metro Nashville bars semitrailers from parking on any street in the county at any hour, but the same rule lets a truck stop while it’s actually loading or unloading. So a carrier can pull up and collect your car wherever the street has room for it, though it can’t park there and wait, so have the car ready to go before the truck arrives.
One percent of every booking goes to Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit working on policy and technology to clean up transport and energy emissions.

Shipping a car from Nashville costs about $0.85 to $1.65 a mile on an open carrier, with the higher rates on the shorter runs. That comes to $800 to $1,000 for Raleigh, $850 to $1,050 for Miami.
A car shipped out of Nashville usually spends 2 to 7 days on the truck. Raleigh, Dallas, Orlando and Houston take 2 to 4 days, Miami 3 to 4 and Los Angeles 4 to 7. These are estimates, because the driver is collecting and delivering other cars along the way.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
Wash the car so its condition is easy to record, photograph it from each corner, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Take out anything above the 100 pound personal item allowance, and take your toll transponder such as FasTrak, E-ZPass or SunPass off the windshield, because toll gantries can read it while the car rides the truck. Have a working key ready for the driver.
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.
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.
Yes. Every toll, bridge and congestion charge the truck pays on the way is already in your quote, and nothing is added for them after you book.
