About this route

Why so many cars go from Nevada to Florida

About 7,485 people moved from Nevada to Florida in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (5,632 in 2023, 9,338 in 2024). That is 7.7% of everyone who left Nevada for another state, making Florida its #2 destination.

Traffic runs both ways — about 6,114 people a year move from Florida back to Nevada — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.

How the price compares

At a typical $1,625, shipping from Nevada to Florida is among the most expensive routes out of Nevada; Texas ($1,150) cost less. 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

Las Vegas to Miami runs about 2,580 road miles. With drivers limited to 11 hours of driving a day and stops for other cars on the load, that is 6–9 days on the truck. The car heads east and crosses 3 time zones — from Pacific to Eastern 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.
