How long does it take to ship a car from Florida to Louisiana?

Shipping a car from Florida to Louisiana is about 720 miles and takes 2–3 days on the road, with most carriers running I-95. A shorter leg such as Tampa to New Orleans, about 580 miles, runs 2–3 days. The clock starts when a carrier collects the car, not when you book. On this route the busy season lengthens the wait for a truck rather than the drive.
