About this route
Why so many cars go from Florida to Oklahoma
About 5,049 people moved from Florida to Oklahoma in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (3,830 in 2023, 6,268 in 2024). That is 1% of everyone who left Florida for another state.
Traffic runs both ways — about 4,477 people a year move from Oklahoma back to Florida — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.
How the price compares
At a typical $1,225, shipping from Florida to Oklahoma costs more than sending a car to Michigan ($1,200) and Illinois ($1,200) but less than to Iowa ($1,250) and Maine ($1,275). That works out to about 84¢ a mile.
Distance and transit time
Expect about 1,450 road miles from Miami to Oklahoma City — 3–6 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 northwest and crosses one time zone — from Eastern to Central time — so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.
On the road
- Hurricane season (June–November) occasionally delays Gulf and Atlantic coast deliveries; carriers will reschedule rather than drive into a storm.
