Orlando Auto Shipping – Direct Carrier Service

Car Shipping in Orlando

Welcome to In-N-Out Keys, your trusted partner for auto shipping in the Orlando area. Unlike online brokers who simply pass your information to multiple carriers, we are a licensed direct carrier with our own fleet and experienced drivers. This means you work with us from start to finish—one point of contact, clear communication, and transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

Whether you’re shipping a vehicle from Orlando to the Florida Keys, relocating to Central Florida from out of state, or need transport for university moves at UCF, our team coordinates every detail of your shipment. Based in South Florida with locations in Fort Lauderdale and Key West, we understand Florida logistics inside and out. From Orlando International Airport pickups to door-to-door residential delivery in Winter Park, Lake Nona, or any Orlando-area neighborhood, we make auto shipping simple, safe, and stress-free.

Orlando Shipping Routes We Service

We provide direct carrier auto transport to and from Orlando to destinations throughout Florida and nationwide. Our most popular routes include Orlando to the Florida Keys—Key West, Marathon, Big Pine Key, Islamorada, Tavernier, and Key Largo. We also handle frequent shipments between Orlando and South Florida destinations like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Boca Raton, as well as other major Florida cities including Jacksonville, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Gainesville.

For customers shipping vehicles to or from Orlando and out-of-state destinations, we service the entire East Coast corridor from Atlanta and Charlotte to Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. Midwest routes to Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, and Indianapolis are common for college relocations and family moves. We also transport vehicles between Orlando and southern destinations like Nashville, Memphis, Dallas, and Houston, as well as West Coast cities including Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Diego.

Many of our Orlando customers are snowbirds flying into Orlando International Airport (MCO) who need their vehicles shipped from Northeast states like Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. We coordinate convenient airport-area pickups and deliveries to make the process seamless.

Why Orlando Customers Choose Our Auto Shipping Services

Orlando presents unique auto shipping needs, and we’ve built our services to meet them. Many Orlando-area residents own vacation properties in the Florida Keys and need reliable seasonal vehicle transport. Flying into Orlando International Airport and having your vehicle shipped to your final destination saves time, reduces wear on your car, and eliminates the stress of a long drive—this is especially popular with snowbirds arriving from northern states.

College relocations are another major reason Orlando customers use our services. Students attending University of Central Florida, Rollins College, Full Sail University, or Valencia College often need dependable transport from out of state. We coordinate firm pickup and delivery dates that work with move-in schedules and provide parents with peace of mind through real-time tracking and clear communication.

The hospitality industry in Orlando creates significant demand for vehicle transport. Theme park professionals relocating for seasonal positions at Disney World, Universal Studios, or SeaWorld need fast, reliable service. We also work with corporate relocations—professionals moving to Orlando’s growing tech sector, healthcare jobs at Lake Nona Medical City, or positions in the downtown business district.

Military families stationed at or departing from Central Florida installations trust us for dependable vehicle transport during PCS moves. Auto dealerships shipping inventory between Orlando and other markets rely on our professional service and transparent pricing. Classic car collectors transporting vehicles to shows, auctions, or seasonal storage facilities appreciate our enclosed transport options and careful handling.

We coordinate convenient pickups and deliveries in the MCO Airport area, which is particularly useful for customers flying into Orlando who need their vehicle shipped to or from another location.

Seasonal Shipping Patterns

Orlando auto shipping follows distinct seasonal patterns. During the winter months from November through April, we see high volume from Northeast and Midwest states as snowbirds head south to Florida. Many Orlando-area residents also ship vehicles to their Florida Keys vacation properties during this period to enjoy the warm, tropical climate. This is our peak season for southbound transport to Florida.

Spring and summer months from May through October bring different patterns. Seasonal residents begin shipping vehicles back to northern states, and college students transport vehicles to and from Orlando universities for the new academic year or summer break. Hurricane season also influences shipping patterns—Keys residents sometimes ship vehicles to Orlando or other mainland destinations for storm protection. Summer travel and family relocations round out the seasonal demand during these months.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orlando Auto Shipping

How long does auto shipping from Orlando take?

Transit times vary by destination. Within Florida, expect 1-3 days including routes to the Florida Keys, Miami, Tampa, or Jacksonville. Southeast destinations like Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina typically take 2-4 days. For Northeast destinations such as New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, plan for 5-7 days. Midwest routes to Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan generally take 4-6 days, while West Coast shipping to California, Arizona, and Nevada requires 7-10 days. Exact timeframes depend on specific pickup and delivery locations and current scheduling.

Can you pick up from Orlando International Airport (MCO)?

Yes! We offer convenient pickup service from the MCO airport area. This is perfect for snowbirds or travelers flying into Orlando and needing their vehicle shipped to their final destination. We coordinate the timing to match your arrival and make the process seamless.

How far in advance should I book my Orlando auto shipment?

For standard transport, we recommend booking 3-7 days in advance. However, we often accommodate last-minute requests and offer expedited service for urgent needs. Call us to discuss your timeframe.

Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery?

You or a designated representative should be present to hand over keys and complete a vehicle inspection. We can coordinate with property managers, family members, or neighbors if you can’t be there personally.

Is my vehicle insured during transport?

Yes, all vehicles are covered by our cargo insurance policy during transport. We’ll provide you with certificate of insurance details upon booking. We’re fully licensed and insured as a motor carrier (US DOT 4120018 | MC 1583555).

What’s the difference between open and enclosed transport?

Open transport is the standard, cost-effective method where your vehicle is secured on an open car carrier—the same method dealerships use to transport new cars. Enclosed transport provides premium protection in a fully enclosed trailer, shielding your vehicle from weather and road debris. Enclosed transport is ideal for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles.

How much does it cost to ship from Orlando?

Pricing depends on distance, vehicle size, season, and specific route. Local Florida shipments start at $299 for standard vehicles. Long-distance nationwide transport varies widely based on destination. Contact us for accurate quotes tailored to your specific needs.

Can you ship during hurricane season?

Yes, we monitor weather conditions closely and adjust routes as needed for safety. Many Keys residents actually ship vehicles TO Orlando during hurricane threats for mainland protection. We maintain regular service year-round but may reschedule pickups or deliveries if severe weather threatens either location.

What do I need to do to prepare my vehicle for shipping?

Remove personal belongings, ensure the gas tank is 1/4 full or less, disable car alarms, and document existing damage with photos. We’ll provide a complete pre-shipment checklist when you book.

What if my vehicle doesn’t run?

We can transport non-running vehicles with advance notice. Additional fees may apply depending on the condition. Please inform us during the quote process so we can coordinate proper equipment.
