For Arkansas to Florida, the estimated range is $680 to $1,130. The 22 routes we price span 672 to 1,182 miles, and the answer to what you will pay mostly depends on where in Florida the car lands. Vehicle type and open or enclosed shipping also matter.

How Long Does It Take to Ship a Car from Arkansas to Florida?

Most Arkansas to Florida shipments take 2–4 days after pickup. Little Rock to Orlando and Tampa show 2–3 days, while Little Rock to Miami and Miami Gardens show 2–4. Pickup is scheduled 1–3 business days after you book.

What makes the difference:

  • Delivery city. South Florida is at the long end of the range.
  • Season. Winter brings heavier travel to Florida, and from June to November the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are in hurricane season, which can disrupt schedules.
  • Flexibility. The more days you give the dispatcher for pickup, the easier it is to match you with a truck.

If you are heading to Florida for the winter and want the car waiting when you arrive, set the pickup date early enough that the 1–3 business day window and the transit days both fit before your arrival.

Pickup is usually scheduled within a 1–3 business day window after booking; transit then takes about 2 to 4 days.

Shipping a Car from Arkansas to Florida: Route Notes

The shipments we list leave from Little Rock, where I-30 and I-40 meet. Carriers head east across Mississippi and Alabama, then turn south into Florida, either onto the Panhandle or toward the peninsula. Cars bound for Orlando and Tampa use the interstates that feed the central Florida corridor, while those going to Miami, Fort Lauderdale or Port St. Lucie travel further down the peninsula on the Florida side.

Little Rock to Port St. Lucie sits between Orlando and Miami in distance, at 1,069 miles, and its estimate falls between them as well.

Seasonal demand follows snowbird travel: autumn is busy as northerners head south, and spring sees the reverse. Hurricane season, June through November, is the other thing to watch when you plan delivery to coastal Florida cities.

Open vs Enclosed Car Shipping from Arkansas to Florida

Most Arkansas to Florida vehicles ride on an open carrier. If you are shipping a convertible, classic or other car you want protected from summer storms and humidity, ask for enclosed transportation. It costs more, so compare quotes.

Customer Testimonials

“I contacted Freedom Auto Transport under short notice and they delivered. Got my vehicle picked up in Dallas, TX the same day, it took about 3 days to get delivered. Driver contacted me prior to arrival on both ends and was very friendly. Very easy to do business with. Thanks again.”
Theresa Webb
“I wanted to share my experience dealing with Freedom Auto Transport. Could not have gone any smoother. Called up Tuesday morning, had my vehicle picked up and on a trailer the very next day! Wow! Everyone I spoke to at Freedom was extremely helpful and friendly. Very pleased with my experience and would 10000% recommend Freedom to anyone that needs auto transport service. Thanks again..”
Darlene Robertson
“Freedom was great, Dan S. with Freedom was the only carrier who could deliver on the dates I needed. I contacted several transporters, the prices and dates changed every 5 minutes. Dan was very helpful every step of the way, and extremely reasonable! I will use these guys from this point forward, make one call and it’s a done deal! Thanks Dan!”
Guy Hawkins
Freedom Auto Transport runs a solid operation. Dorian is the reason I chose this carrier even though I had all but agreed to work with a different hauler. He was fast to return my calls, texted frequently, and used all his contacts to arrange a quick turnaround on the 4Runner I shipped. He almost managed to get a same day pick-up but the dealership I was working with couldn’t complete the paperwork in time for an evening pick up. Easy paperwork/signatures. No heavy sales pitch. Just familiarity with how the industry works, good relationships to leverage, and the urgency to help. I think he really feels good knowing he’s helping to deliver something meaningful to others. Ive used different companies each time I’ve shipped a vehicle but the next time I need a car or truck shipped, I want to work with Dorian. Cheers!
