Open vs. enclosed on this route
Open transport ($1,050–$1,325) is the most popular, cost-effective option and is well suited to standard cars, trucks, and SUVs. Enclosed transport ($1,475–$1,825) carries your vehicle in a fully covered trailer for maximum protection — the right choice for luxury, classic, exotic, or high-value vehicles.
Moving from Boston to Tampa?
Driving it yourself means about 1,340 miles: roughly 3 days behind the wheel and 2 hotel nights, plus fuel and wear on the car. Shipping lets you fly or travel with your household move while the car follows. Many household movers don't transport vehicles, so booking the car separately is common. Schedule pickup a few days before move-out so it arrives close to when you do.
