I-95 the entire way, 1,000 miles of it, through Richmond, the Carolinas, Savannah and Jacksonville. The opening leg matters most: getting out of the Baltimore–Washington corridor southbound is the slowest part of the trip, and the tunnel restrictions in Baltimore mean a car carrier has to route around rather than through. After Richmond it is uninterrupted interstate.
Collections come from the Baltimore metro, Anne Arundel, Howard and the Washington suburbs in Montgomery and Prince George's counties. On the Florida end, deliveries lean toward the Atlantic side — Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and the Space Coast — with a solid secondary flow into Orlando, Tampa and the Gulf retirement communities.
A snowbird lane with a slightly gentler curve than the New York version, but the same shape: southbound builds through October and November, northbound peaks in April. Hurricane season is the other consideration, since a storm anywhere on the Florida peninsula halts deliveries there for several days regardless of where the truck started.
A thousand miles is close to the sweet spot for auto transport pricing — long enough that the per-mile rate has dropped, short enough that the total stays moderate. Season moves it more than anything else. At the Maryland end, a pickup near I-95 costs less than one on the Eastern Shore or out past Frederick, since both take the truck off its line.
Carriers running the Maryland–Florida lane do it often enough to keep scheduling tight and pricing steady. That route familiarity is what keeps your car moving instead of sitting at a terminal.
Two shipments on the same lane can price differently. The main variables are:
