About this route
Why so many cars go from Florida to Nevada
About 6,114 people moved from Florida to Nevada in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (5,935 in 2023, 6,293 in 2024). That is 1.2% of everyone who left Florida for another state.
Traffic runs both ways — about 7,485 people a year move from Nevada back to Florida — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.
How the price compares
At a typical $1,625, shipping from Florida to Nevada costs more than sending a car to Arizona ($1,525) and Colorado ($1,400) but less than to California ($1,700) and Washington ($1,850). That works out to about 63¢ a mile — long hauls cost less per mile because loading and paperwork are spread over more distance.
Distance and transit time
Count on 6–9 days on the truck for the 2,580 road miles from Miami to Las Vegas — federal rules cap drivers at 11 hours a day behind the wheel, and a full carrier makes several stops on the way. The car heads west-northwest and crosses 3 time zones — from Eastern to Pacific time — so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.
On the road
- Trucks usually take the southern route across the desert Southwest, which stays open all winter — one reason this lane runs on schedule year-round.
- Hurricane season (June–November) occasionally delays Gulf and Atlantic coast deliveries; carriers will reschedule rather than drive into a storm.
