Typical published prices in Naples (checked October 2026)
- A verified door-to-door price from a named auto transporter into Naples was not found to publish here. Prices vary with distance, the season, open versus enclosed, and whether a truck is already running your lane. Ask two companies for a written quote on the same car and the same week.
- Interstate auto transporters are motor carriers. FMCSA’s Protect Your Move tools are the starting point for checking a company, even though that guide is written first for household goods. fmcsa.dot.gov/protect-your-move
A ride from RSW when you arrive is not car shipping. Use the airport-transfer page for that fare. RideNaples publishes a North Naples airport shuttle at $50. That number is a passenger fare, not a car-carrier rate.
Open, enclosed, door, or terminal
An open carrier is the common, less expensive way to move a daily driver. The car rides exposed to weather and road grit. An enclosed carrier is the request for a collector car or a fresh paint job, and it costs more. Say which you want. A quote that does not name the trailer type is not finished.
Door-to-door means a truck, or a smaller truck, comes to an address a semi can reach. Many Naples streets, islands, and high-rises cannot take a full carrier. The practical version is a meeting point: a wide lot near I-75 or a terminal. Ask where that lot is. “Naples” is not a driveway.
Operable cars are the standard load. A car that does not start, a very low car, or a car with a roof box may be refused or surcharged. Tell them. Take photos at pickup. Personal items in the car are often excluded from coverage. Ask.
Timing and season
Snowbird season stacks trucks in the fall and again in the spring. If the car must be in Naples before you fly, build in more days than the salesperson’s best case. A window is normal. A guaranteed date should be written and priced.
Hurricane season is June 1 through November 30. Trucks reroute. Ask what happens to the delivery window if I-75 is closed. The car should be insured for the gap between your policy and the carrier’s cargo coverage. Ask for the cargo limit in dollars and what it excludes.
Tipping a driver is optional. It is not the payment for the shipment. Know how the balance is collected before you hand over keys.
Broker or carrier
A broker finds a truck. A carrier owns the truck. Both can be legitimate. You should know which contract you signed and whose insurance is on the car while it rolls. Ask for the USDOT number of the carrier who will actually load the car, not only the broker who answered the phone. Check the company on Sunbiz if it is a Florida business.
A quote should name the car, the origin, the Naples delivery or meeting point, open or enclosed, the pickup window, the cargo insurance limit, and the cancellation fee if you miss the pickup. A deposit to an unknown personal account is a reason to stop.
The form is a free quote request. It does not ship the car. Household goods use the movers form.
- Open or enclosed?
- Door delivery or a meeting point a truck can reach?
- What is the cargo insurance limit?
- Broker or carrier, and what is the carrier’s USDOT number?
- What is the pickup window and the cancellation fee?
Before you send the form
Ask the carrier, not only the broker, for the USDOT number of the truck that will load the car. Open and enclosed are different prices. Door delivery in Naples often becomes a meeting point because a full carrier cannot enter a gate or a narrow island street. The quote should name that lot. Photos at pickup are your record. Household goods left in the trunk are a common coverage exclusion.
Do not compare a car-carrier quote with RideNaples’ $50 airport shuttle. That shuttle moves people from North Naples to RSW. Your car is a different purchase. Build slack into the delivery window in snowbird season and in hurricane season. A deposit should go to the company you identified, not to a personal payment app with no contract.
One last pass before you compare
The service you are pricing is car shipping to Naples, Florida. Read the written quote next to the published figures on this page and next to a second company’s offer for the same dates and the same scope. A captain should be ready to show a Merchant Mariner Credential; the National Maritime Center is the place to start that question. A contractor, a wind inspector, or another state-licensed trade should give you a license number you can search on MyFloridaLicense. The company name on the invoice should match an active record on Sunbiz. For home watch, National Home Watch Association membership is preferred and insurance still has to be in force. An interstate mover or an auto carrier should give you the USDOT number of the company that actually hauls the goods or the car. An insurance agent should be licensed in Florida. Ask for a certificate of insurance that covers the dates of the job. Then read the cancellation sentence and the gratuity sentence out loud. If either is missing, wait. Sending the form is a free request for that quote. A reply usually comes within one business day. Nothing is reserved because you asked, and you do not pay this site to send the note. Ask whether the quote is door-to-door or a terminal meeting, and write that answer on the estimate before you compare it with a second company.
