OPEN car shipping
Open transport is safe and reliable, making it the most common shipping option. When you need Tampa car shipping near you, open trailers are cost-effective and efficient. Cars can be easily loaded, unloaded and arranged—but remember that vehicles aren’t protected from road conditions or weather and may accumulate some dust and dirt over the duration of the journey.
ENCLOSED car shipping
Nationwide Auto Carriers offers top-notch Tampa auto transport services
Door-to-door car shipping
Door-to-door car shipping is a convenient way to ship your car to or from Tampa. You provide specific addresses and the truck driver will pick up and drop off your vehicle as close to your door as safely and legally possible. Keep in mind that some cities have restrictions on large trucks that prohibit them from entering some residential areas.
Hawaii car shipping
Leaving Tampa and heading to the islands? Shipping your vehicle to Hawaii is less complicated than you may think. The key is selecting an auto transport provider with experience arranging door-to-port, port-to-door and port-to-port auto transport. Nationwide Auto Carriers can safely get your vehicle to or from Hawaii, while delivering peace of mind.

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Tampa
1. Snowbird & Seasonal Demand
Tampa is a top destination for “snowbirds” — people relocating seasonally from northern states. During peak seasons (fall and spring), auto transport demand spikes, and so do prices. Booking early can help lock in better rates and more flexible pickup times.
2. Storm & Hurricane Season Planning
Florida’s hurricane season (June–November) can delay car shipments due to severe weather, flooding, or road closures. Always check forecasts and work with an experienced transporter like Nationwide Auto Carriers who knows how to safely navigate weather disruptions.
3. Urban vs. Suburban Delivery
Downtown Tampa has narrow streets and limited parking, which can affect door-to-door delivery. If access is restricted, your transporter may arrange pickup/drop-off at a nearby large parking lot or shopping center for convenience and safety.
4. Open vs. Enclosed Transport
Open auto transport is the most affordable and commonly used option for Tampa residents. However, if you’re shipping a classic, luxury, or high-end vehicle, enclosed transport offers added protection from Florida’s intense sun, rain, and airborne debris.
Nationwide Auto Carriers proudly serves Tampa with fast, reliable, and flexible car shipping services — whether you’re relocating, buying a vehicle, or just need seasonal transport. We’re here to deliver peace of mind with every mile.

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, Nationwide Auto Carriers has its own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker’s policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.
That depends on the car shipping service you choose. It will be either an open or enclosed trailer hauling multiple vehicles.
A simple way to save money is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route and avoiding seasonal demand. Discover more car shipping tips to help keep money in your pocket.
