Shipping a car out of Tampa: the main lanes
Distances from Tampa to the largest metros; measured routes are driving miles, the rest are estimated and marked ≈.
| From Tampa to | Distance | Truck drive time | Household move on this route |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York City, NY | ≈ 1,171 mi | 3 days | Priced route → |
| Los Angeles, CA | ≈ 2,507 mi | 6 days | Priced route → |

| Miami, FL | 280 mi | 5 hr | Priced route → |

Drive time assumes a loaded car hauler averaging about 55 mph with legal rest; a shared truck also stops for the other cars on the deck, so door-to-door takes longer than the drive.
Roadside inspections: auto transporters near Tampa
16 of the 87 auto transporters listed here had at least one roadside inspection in the 24 months to September 13, 2026, 37 inspections in all. Inspectors put the vehicle out of service in 5 of 18 vehicle inspections (27.8%), below the 32.4% for listed auto transporters nationally. Drivers were put out of service in 5 of 37 driver inspections (13.5%, against 10.3%). With fewer than 30 vehicle inspections, a single out-of-service order moves that rate by several points, so treat it as a small sample. None has an acute or critical violation from an FMCSA investigation in the past 12 months.

Who moves out of Hillsborough County
Tampa is in Hillsborough County, FL. In the Census Bureau's 2016–2020 survey, the county-to-county estimates add up to roughly 32,542 people a year leaving Hillsborough County for another state, most often for Georgia (about 2,296), California (about 2,145) and North Carolina (about 1,942), while about 43,068 (±2,491) a year arrive from other states.
US Census Bureau, ACS 2016–2020 county-to-county migration flows; estimates are people a year with a 90% margin of error.
Pickup in Tampa and checking the carrier
A loaded car hauler is about 75 feet long, so on narrow Tampa streets the driver may ask to meet at a wide lot; the 47 carriers based here will know which ones work. If the quote comes from a broker, ask which carrier's truck will come and open that USDOT number before pickup. Preparing the car and how car shipping is priced cover the rest.

Car shipping in Tampa: questions people ask
How many car shipping companies are there in Tampa, FL?
47 FMCSA-registered auto transporters are based in Tampa itself, and 40 more listed carriers work within 30 miles (Lutz, Seffner, Brandon, Riverview, Clearwater and nearby). All 87 hold active registrations with motor vehicles declared as cargo and a fleet on file. Brokers are registered separately and are not counted.
Who is the largest auto transporter near Tampa?
By reported fleet, Hernandez Auto Transport Services LLC in Saint Petersburg, FL, with 6 trucks on its filing (USDOT 2428792). Fleet size is self-reported and describes capacity, not care; read the record behind the number before you book.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Tampa?
We publish no car-shipping price model, so this page prints no figures. The quote is set by the lane (Tampa to New York City, NY is about 1,171 miles), open or enclosed transport, the car's size and whether it runs, the season and direction, and how flexible your pickup window is. The pricing guide linked below explains each factor.
Will a car hauler pick up at my door in Tampa?
Usually as close as a 75-foot rig can legally and physically get. On narrow residential streets, in HOAs that bar commercial trucks, or where overhead lines are low, the driver will ask to meet at a wide lot nearby. Agree the meeting point when you book, not when the truck is idling.
How have car haulers near Tampa done at roadside inspections?
16 of the 87 listed here were inspected in the past 24 months, 37 inspections in all. Vehicles were put out of service in 5 of 18 vehicle inspections (27.8%), against 32.4% for listed auto transporters nationally.
