LA to Florida (Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville): approximately 2,500 miles. Open transport: $1,000–$1,500. Enclosed: $1,500–$2,000. Transit: 6–9 days via I-10 through Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, and across the Florida panhandle.
Seasonal Considerations
Florida-bound traffic peaks October–March (snowbird season). Carriers heading south are plentiful but prices increase. The return trip (Florida to LA) is often cheaper during this period because fewer cars move westward.
