Nashville is a really solid city for auto transport. We move cars through here pretty regularly and it is one of the easier mid-size markets in the country. Three major interstates cross through Nashville. I-40 runs east to west, I-65 runs north to south, and I-24 cuts southeast toward Atlanta. That puts Nashville right in the middle of a bunch of busy carrier routes. Manheim Nashville is active and draws carriers through on a regular basis. There are plenty of dealerships in the metro too, so there is good truck traffic year round.
Pickups in Nashville usually happen within 2 to 4 days. It is not quite as fast as a mega hub like Houston or Atlanta, but it is close. Carriers running I-40 between Memphis and Knoxville pass right through, and so do trucks on I-65 heading between Louisville and Birmingham. That gives us a lot of options when looking for a carrier on your route. During the summer months things can get a little busier with people relocating, but nothing that causes major delays.

Tampa is one of the best positioned markets in Florida for auto transport and that is saying something because Florida as a whole is extremely active. Manheim Tampa is on South 50th Street in the city. ADESA Tampa is right nearby on North 50th Street. Copart Tampa South is also in the market. That kind of auction density inside the city limits means carriers have real business reasons to be here. I-75 is the main north-south corridor, connecting Tampa straight to Atlanta and up to Detroit. I-4 runs east across the state to Orlando and Daytona Beach. The two highways meet near downtown Tampa and that convergence is what makes this market tick. Carriers running the Florida snowbird circuit treat Tampa as a reliable staging point.
Tampa receives cars well. Carriers on I-75 from Atlanta and further north are making this run constantly during the fall and winter months. The flip side is that in late spring and summer when snowbirds head back north, there can be a short window where northbound loads are so abundant that carriers snap them up fast, making deliveries from out of state slightly quicker to coordinate. Summer is slower overall for in-state Florida demand, but the interstate corridors stay active. One thing to know is that Tampa Bay traffic on I-4 and I-275 can affect carrier timing during rush hours. Drivers account for this and it is not a major issue.
Shipping a standard sedan from Nashville to Tampa on open carrier currently estimates between $500 and $800. That is based on the 758-mile distance and current market conditions.
Nashville usually runs right around the national average. Sometimes a little below it. You are not going to see the rock bottom prices that come out of mega hubs like Houston or LA, but you are also not paying any kind of premium. The I-65 corridor to Florida sees some seasonal swings during snowbird season from October to March, so if you are shipping between Nashville and South Florida keep that in mind. Prices on that lane can bump up 10 to 15 percent during peak months. For most other routes it stays pretty steady. Get a quote to see your exact price.
Tampa runs at or slightly below the national average depending on your route and the time of year. During peak snowbird season from November through February, southbound pricing into Tampa is competitive because carriers are actively filling loads heading to Florida. In May and June when snowbirds reverse course, northbound pricing from Tampa can actually be favorable for the same reason. Summer months are slower and carriers need a little more incentive to come down. Routes to Atlanta on I-75 and to Orlando on I-4 are consistently efficient. Routes to Texas are active. Long haul to the Northeast or West Coast will cost more. Get a quote to see your exact price.
