About this route

Why so many cars go from Florida to Indiana

About 12,031 people moved from Florida to Indiana in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (14,798 in 2023, 9,264 in 2024). That is 2.4% of everyone who left Florida for another state.

Traffic runs both ways — about 14,922 people a year move from Indiana back to Florida — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.

How the price compares

At a typical $1,125, shipping from Florida to Indiana costs more than sending a car to Maryland ($1,100) and Arkansas ($1,100) but less than to Texas ($1,175) and New York ($1,175). That works out to about 93¢ a mile.

Distance and transit time

Expect about 1,210 road miles from Miami to Indianapolis — 3–5 days on the truck after pickup. Carriers usually load several cars before heading out, so the pickup window matters as much as transit time. The car heads north-northwest and stays on Eastern time the whole way.

On the road

Hurricane season (June–November) occasionally delays Gulf and Atlantic coast deliveries; carriers will reschedule rather than drive into a storm.
