Palm Beach Car Shipping – Costs, Delivery Time & Local Tips for 2025


Whether you’re relocating, shipping a seasonal vehicle, or buying a car online, Secure Auto Shipping makes car transport from Palm Beach easy and stress-free. With major carrier routes passing through South Florida and strong demand during snowbird season, knowing what to expect upfront helps you save time and money.

💰 2025 Palm Beach Car Shipping Rates

Pricing depends on your destination, transport type, and vehicle size. Here’s what Palm Beach residents can expect to pay on average in 2025:

Destination Distance (mi) Avg Open Carrier Enclosed Carrier
Palm Beach to Orlando ~170 $400 – $600 $700 – $850
Palm Beach to New York City ~1,230 $950 – $1,250 $1,400+

⏱️ Delivery Timeframes

Transit times vary based on location and season:

Distance Delivery Window
0–500 miles 1–2 days
500–1,500 miles 2–5 days
1,500+ miles 5–8 days

🚨 Traffic, weather, and carrier availability may affect these ranges.

🚛 Open vs. Enclosed Transport – What’s Right for You?

Open Transport is budget-friendly, fast, and ideal for everyday vehicles.

Enclosed Transport offers more protection for:

  • Luxury & exotic vehicles
  • Vintage cars
  • Snowbird-season shipments during stormy months

If you’re shipping from Palm Beach Island, Worth Avenue, or a high-value residence, enclosed is worth considering.

🧼 Prepping Your Car for Pickup

  1. Wash the vehicle and take photos of current condition
  2. Remove all personal items and toll passes
  3. Fuel: Leave 1/4 tank max
  4. Disable alarms and include spare keys if needed
  5. Double-check pickup date and location

Full Protection

We treat every vehicle as if it were our own. Whether you are shipping a daily driver in an open trailer or a high-value classic in a climate-controlled enclosed unit, your vehicle is fully insured from the moment it is loaded until it is back in your hands.

We do not hide our coverage details in fine print; we provide verified carrier insurance documents upfront so you have total peace of mind. No matter the make, model, or value, your asset is protected by the highest standards in the industry.

Proven Integrity

Integrity isn’t just a word we use; it’s a standard we’ve met for over 12 years. Since 2014, we have maintained an industry-leading 99.7% service score on MoveCars.com based on over 1,500 verified customer ratings.

This history of transparency means you aren’t gambling with a new or unproven company. You are partnering with a veteran team that has built its reputation on honest communication and reliable delivery, one car at a time.

Zero Financial Risk

We believe you shouldn’t have to pay for a promise, only for results. That is why we never charge upfront deposits or hidden broker fees. Your financial security is our priority, which is why we also offer a 100% money-back guarantee if we cannot satisfy your specific transport needs.

By removing the financial barrier, we ensure that our interests are perfectly aligned with yours: we only succeed when your vehicle is safely secured and on its way.

Asset-Based Authority

Most companies in this industry are either just a broker with no hands-on experience or a carrier with limited reach. Secure Auto Shipping is a rare Asset-Based Authority with premier Carrier Affiliate status.

This unique hybrid model provides us with superior route oversight and the specialized insight needed to manage every detail of your transport.

While standard brokers simply hand off your vehicle to unknown third parties, our asset-based history and affiliate network allow us to oversee the entire logistics chain from our own 24/7 dispatch desk.

You get the vast reach of a national network combined with the accountability, professional vetting, and ‘boots on the ground’ expertise that only a team with a carrier background can provide.
