A car bought in Ohio shortly before a move to Florida raises one question worth settling before it ships, which is whether Florida will tax it again. Getting it there is simple, because from Toledo, Dayton or Cincinnati the car can ride I-75 nearly the whole way, and it’s a well used road, since Florida is where more people leaving Ohio go than anywhere else.
Usually not, because Ohio has already charged more than Florida would. Ohio collects its tax when the car is titled, at the rate of the county you live in, which comes to between 6.5% and 8%, and Florida only asks for the difference between what you paid in another state and its own 6%. So on a car bought shortly before the move there is no Florida state tax left to pay, and what may remain is the county surtax, which Florida charges on only the first $5,000 of the price. A car you’ve owned and driven in Ohio for six months or more is treated as not bought for Florida at all, so one you’ve had a while doesn’t raise the question.
If the move makes you a Florida resident, these are the state's rules for the car.

Shipping a car from Ohio to Florida costs between $950 and $1,550 for open transport.
Shipping a car from Ohio to Florida takes an estimated 3 to 5 days. Cleveland to Orlando is about 1,030 miles and Toledo to Miami about 1,310, and where a car lands in that range has more to do with the other stops the driver makes than with the miles.
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.
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.
One to two weeks ahead is enough on most routes. Busy corridors handle shorter notice, and quieter lanes benefit from the full two weeks. Booking earlier does not lower the price; it settles your dates sooner, and the price holds for 28 days either way.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
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.
To ship a car, request a quote with your origin, destination, and vehicle details. Sequoia matches you with a driver according to your pickup window, the driver picks up your vehicle, and delivers it at your destination.
