Shipping from Chicago, IL

Chicago is the crossroads of American auto transport. Four major interstates converge here. I-90 and I-94 run east to west. I-55 drops south toward St. Louis. I-80 is one of the most heavily used carrier corridors in the country running straight across the middle of the US. Manheim Chicago is one of the largest and most active auto auctions in the Midwest. The dealer market across the metro and suburbs is deep. Carriers are always moving through Chicago because there is always another load waiting for them.

Pickups from Chicago run 1 to 3 days most of the time. The northern suburbs, western suburbs, and south side generally work better for carrier access than tight downtown neighborhoods. We move cars from the city regularly but if you can arrange a pickup from a suburb or parking lot near an on-ramp it smooths things out. Winter is Chicago's one challenge. January and February can slow pickups by a few days as some carriers avoid the Great Lakes region during heavy snowfall weeks. The rest of the year is fast and competitive.

Arriving in Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville is one of the most underrated auto transport markets in the Southeast. It sits at the northern tip of Florida on I-95 which is the primary carrier corridor running up and down the entire East Coast. I-10 starts in Jacksonville and runs all the way west to Los Angeles. That intersection of two major interstates makes Jacksonville a natural carrier hub. The Port of Jacksonville handles vehicle imports and is one of the more significant auto ports on the East Coast. Dealer density across the metro is solid. Manheim Jacksonville keeps carrier traffic flowing through the area regularly.

Delivering to Jacksonville is smooth. Carriers on I-95 heading south from the Northeast pass right through. Coming in from the west on I-10 from Houston is a well established route. Port deliveries add carrier traffic that spills over into the local market. This is an active delivery point with consistent service.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Chicago to Jacksonville on open carrier currently estimates between $600 and $900. That is based on the 1,054-mile distance and current market conditions.

Chicago runs right around the national average on most routes. Summer is busiest and prices edge up a little. Winter sees slightly more variability because of the weather factor. Routes to and from the South, Texas, and Florida are very active and competitively priced. Long haul routes to the West Coast are solid because carriers on I-80 fill up in both directions.

Jacksonville pricing runs at or slightly below the national average. The I-95 corridor is so competitive that East Coast routes are generally well priced. West bound routes on I-10 are solid. The snowbird effect seen in South Florida is less pronounced in Jacksonville since it is at the northern end of the state, but there is still some seasonal uptick from October through March. Overall pricing is fair and consistent.
