The timeframe and logistics change from every region of the country when you are vehicle shipping to Boca Raton. Use this blog to plan your vehicle shipment to Boca Raton.

The New England states (MA, RI, CT, NH, ME, VT) tend to favor vehicle shipping to the Atlantic coast side of Florida more so than the Gulf Coast. It is a straight shot about 1,500 miles down Interstate 95 from New England’s biggest city, Boston, to Boca Raton. Your vehicle is likely to be on a vehicle shipping trailer for a minimum of three days, and more likely four or five days. 

The Eastern Seaboard states (NY, PA, NJ, DE, MD, DC, VA, WV) also prefer the Atlantic coast side of Florida more so than the Gulf Coast. New York City is about 1,300 miles, and Philadelphia is roughly 1,200 miles down Interstate 95 to Boca Raton. Your vehicle is likely to be on an auto-shipping trailer for a minimum of three days, and more likely four days. However, it is possible a carrier can make the drive in two days. 

The Carolina states (NC, SC) are a quick car transport haul down I-95 to Boca Raton. The largest NC city, Charlotte, is about 725 miles away, and Charleston, SC is roughly 640 miles. The weather in the Carolinas is so temperate and pleasant nearly year-round, that there is less reason to migrate to Boca Raton. Your vehicle is likely to be on a car shipping trailer for about two days, maybe only one. 

The Midwest states (IL, MI, OH, IN, WI) tend to favor car transporting to the Gulf Coast side of Florida more so than the eastern Atlantic coast, which includes Boca Raton. But obviously, there are still many midwesterners who are shipping cars to Boca Raton. 

It is about 1,400 miles down I-65, I-75, and I-95 from the Midwest’s two largest cities, Chicago and Detroit, to Boca Raton. Your vehicle is likely to be on an auto transport trailer from either Chicago or Detroit for a minimum of three days, and more likely four or five days.

The Upper Midwest states (MN, IA, MO, OK, KS, NE, SD, ND) tend to favor transporting to the Gulf Coast side of Florida more so than the eastern Atlantic coast, which includes Boca Raton. Nevertheless, there are still many upper midwesterners who transport vehicles to Boca Raton. 

Because of the sparse population in the Upper Midwest relative to the huge geographic size, it is more difficult, and thus longer, to amalgamate full loads to Boca Raton. 

From the largest city in the Upper Midwest, Minneapolis, it is almost 1,800 miles to Boca Raton. From Minneapolis, for instance, your vehicle is likely to follow routes down I-35, I-380, I-24, I-75, and I-95 before reaching Boca Raton. Your car is likely to be on a vehicle transport trailer for a minimum of four days, and more likely five or six days.

The Mountain states (CO, MT, WY, UT) also tend to favor transporting cars to the Gulf Coast side of Florida more so than the eastern Atlantic coast, which includes Boca Raton. There are still those who prefer car shipping to Boca Raton. 

The Mountain states are difficult for car shipping to Boca Raton, because of the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains and huge land area. Even vehicle shipping from Denver, Colorado might take time to secure a carrier for the long 2,100-mile haul to Boca Raton. The route most likely would be on I-70, I-75, and I-95. Your vehicle is likely to be on a car transport carrier for a minimum of four days, and probably five or six days. 

The Pacific Northwest states (WA, OR, ID) are just as likely to ship a vehicle to the Atlantic Coast side of Florida (including Boca Raton) as they are to the Gulf Coast side. 

It is hard to get farther apart in the continental USA. The route from Seattle to Boca Raton, for instance, is about 3,300 miles. Most people fly instead of drive, which is why they use vehicle shipping services to get their car there. From Seattle, the most common route is I-90, I-29, I-70, I-75, and finally I-95 to Boca Raton. 

Fortunately, the Pacific Northwest has three major cities, Seattle, Portland, and Boise, that make it somewhat easier to amalgamate a full load to Boca Raton. It still takes time to do that. 

We have found that western Washington (think Spokane), southern Oregon (think Eugene), and almost all of Idaho are especially difficult. Your car is likely to be on a vehicle shipping carrier for a minimum of seven days, and probably eight to ten days.

The Southwest states (AZ, NM, NV) make it easier to move cars to Boca Raton than in the Mountain states or Pacific NW. For starters, the weather is less of an issue in the Southwest region. And there are major cities (Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Albuquerque) that make amalgamating full loads more timely. 

From Phoenix, the auto transport haul to Boca Raton would almost certainly follow I-10 to I-75 before finishing on I-95. That route is almost 2,400 miles. Your car is likely to be on a car transport carrier for a minimum of five days, and probably six or seven days.

On the Pacific Coast lies California (CA). One out of every eight Americans is Californian. With nearly 39 million people, ranging primarily from San Diego and the Los Angeles Basin to the San Francisco Bay Area (including Oakland and San Jose), it is no surprise that there are numerous auto shipments every week from California to Boca Raton. 

California is so big it should be two states. We will break it into Southern & Northern California.

In southern California, sprawling Los Angeles is a huge hub for auto shipping to Boca Raton. The route would most likely be on I-10, I-75, and I-95 and is about 2,800 miles. Your vehicle is likely to be on a car transport carrier for a minimum of six days, and probably seven to nine days.

In northern California, the San Francisco Bay Area is also a large metropolis and a favorite car shipping destination is Boca Raton, which is about 3,000 miles away. From San Francisco, the most common route is I-880, I-5, I-40, I-20, US 287, US 49, US 98, I-10, I-75 and finally, I-95 to Boca Raton.

Texas, the Lone Star State, is deserving of special attention. And like California, it is almost like two very different states rolled into one. 

West Texas is more akin to the New Mexico desert than the much greener eastern half of Texas. It is so wide open and sparsely populated that it is difficult to amalgamate full car transport loads to Boca Raton. Patience is required. 

El Paso, on the Mexican border, is about 2,000 miles car shipping to Boca Raton. Your vehicle is likely to traverse I-10, I-75, and I-95. Your car is likely to be on a vehicle transport carrier for a minimum of four days, and probably five to six days.

East Texas, on the other hand, is heavily populated and teaming with large metropolitan areas and plenty of mid-size and smaller towns. It is far easier to ship a car to Boca Raton and put together full carrier loads. Dallas is about 1,300 miles away from Boca Raton, a significantly shorter distance than El Paso. 

From Dallas, the auto transport haul to Boca Raton would almost certainly follow I-10, US 49, I-59, I-65, I-10 to I-75 before finishing on I-95. Your car is likely to be on a car transport carrier for a minimum of three days, and probably four or five days.

The Southern states (GA, TN, KY, AL, MS, AR, LA) don’t favor either side of Florida. Both the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast destinations are fairly easy for an auto transport haul. The proximity to Boca Raton is much closer than anywhere else, save the Carolinas.

Atlanta is the biggest southern city and only about 700 miles to Boca Raton, which would only take an auto transport carrier about two days to get there, three at most, and possibly only one day. We have seen that happen. Atlanta is a straight shot down I-75 to I-95 to Boca Raton.

Nashville is almost just as easy, though a tad farther at about 950 miles, which is a full two days away from Boca Raton. It might take three days on the road. A car transport carrier leaving Nashville would also take I-75 to I-95 to Boca Raton. 

The auto transport logistics to Boca Raton, FL, including route, timeframe, and total cost, should be considered first before shipping a car there. A car transport service will likely ship your vehicle promptly, safely, and securely.
