 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ms. Lela at Onyx was very responsive and gave the best value for transportation of my car. She clearly explained the terms for cash versus credit payments and sent  a quote within few minutes. Their quote was very reasonable compared to others. The quote also included insurance for your car.

The driver was courteous, picked and dropped the car on time. Because of the size of the truck you will need to drive your car about 5-8 miles  to their truck (it carries 8-9 cars) so in that sense it is not door to door service but I understand the restrictions because of narrow roads in neighborhoods.  Plan on having a ride once you drop. Same goes for pick up also. You get a better rate if you are flexible with picking and dropping dates. Don’t forget to remove EZ pass and such prior to dropping. If you pack the car make sure to cover contents with some blankets.

Overall, I have had good experience and would strongly recommend Onyx.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Over the years I've had several cars transported to Colorado, there are very few carriers that will come to this part of the US. Fortunately, I was put in contact with Onyx Auto Transport, they have provided shipping from the East Coast to Colorado and also another transport from Plano Texas. Both of these transports we're carefully monitored by Lela at dispatch, she immediately responded to any inquiries that I had about the process either by direct phone call or by text. Both transport drivers were very professional, and their rigs were carefully maintained.
Would highly recommend Onyx Auto Transport...

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ray was the man in charge of the transportation of my car across country. My car was picked up in Havre de Grace, MD and delivered to San Francisco, CA in excellent working condition. I had no problems and I was given frequent updates as to arrival time. I would not hesitate to use Onyx Auto Transport again. I am very satisfied with their
Professional Service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yes, I shipped a car from northern Virginia to Henderson, Nevada. Everything went well. The driver kept in touch. Let me know when he would be arriving to pick up the car. And call me and let me know when he was about an hour away to give me time to make sure I was there. And called me and let me know ahead of time when he would be here with the car. And called me again when he was about 45 minutes away. We're definitely recommend for any future halls

Planning a shipment from Jacksonville to Charleston

Jacksonville to Charleston is about 240 road miles. Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, and South Florida sit on different parts of the peninsula. A seasonal move also needs a keyholder who will still be present after travel day. Start your quote with the exact Florida pickup ZIP, even if someone else will release the vehicle there.

Charleston is coastal, Columbia is central, and Greenville is in the Upstate. A capital-to-capital estimate for Columbia cannot price every coastal or Upstate address. When you compare delivery to Charleston with delivery to Columbia, keep the same vehicle, release date, and pickup address so that you can see the effect of the destination.

Among the six city examples, Jacksonville to Charleston is about 240 miles and Miami to North Charleston is about 590 miles. That is roughly 350 miles of difference within the same state-to-state search. Use the pair closest to your handoff locations as a starting point.

Florida to South Carolina Auto Transport Options

Choose a trailer for the vehicle you’re shipping from Florida. An everyday sedan, a low-clearance sports car, and a vehicle released by a dealer each need different details at booking.

Open Auto Transport

An open transporter carries your vehicle on an exposed trailer. The $569–$911 estimate shown for Tallahassee, FL → Columbia, SC assumes a running vehicle. Enter exact dimensions for an oversized pickup or SUV.

Enclosed Auto Transport

Enclosed carriers shelter the vehicle during the trip. Give the coordinator your ground clearance and any special loading needs when requesting an enclosed quote.

Door-to-Door Car Shipping

Give the street addresses in Florida and South Carolina. The driver will arrange pickup and delivery as close as a transporter can safely and legally reach.

Cross-Country Car Shipping

If you are moving to South Carolina on a fixed schedule, share your travel dates. An alternate contact at either end gives you more flexibility when coordinating with a long-distance carrier.

Classic Car Shipping

For a restored or collectible car, specify its dimensions, clearance, and any handling instructions. Compare enclosed and open service before selecting a carrier.

Vehicle Shipping for Different Needs

Buying from a dealer in Florida or arranging a family handoff in South Carolina? Provide the releasing and receiving contacts. For an auction pickup, call Onyx to arrange release and loading.

How Florida to South Carolina Car Shipping Works

Use the two ZIP codes, your vehicle details, and the first date it can leave Florida. Pickup and transit are scheduled separately. The reference window for the Tallahassee, FL → Columbia, SC city pair is 1–3 days after pickup. Give Onyx both your first available pickup date and the earliest your South Carolina contact can accept the car, especially if travel or a move-in appointment falls between them.

Get a Quote & Book Your Order

Provide the pickup and delivery ZIP codes, vehicle details, transport choice, and first available date. Review your quote and payment option, then book when ready. Tell us about access limits or vehicle modifications before a carrier is assigned.

Vehicle Pickup at Your Location

Your coordinator shares carrier and pickup details after assignment. Prepare the car and meet the driver at the agreed Florida location. Review its condition together, note existing damage on the inspection report, and keep photos and a copy of the paperwork.

Safe Delivery to Your Destination

Stay in contact about the South Carolina arrival window. You or your representative meet the driver, inspect the car, and compare it with the pickup report before signing. Have any agreed delivery balance ready using the payment method confirmed in advance.

Prepare for Pickup in Florida

In Jacksonville, specify whether the car is near downtown or closer to the beaches. Share the release contact and hours before the carrier schedules the stop.

Have a working key ready and photograph the car before it leaves Florida. Let us know whether it starts, rolls, steers, and brakes. Your pickup contact should be present for the condition inspection.

Your Pickup Checklist

Plan Your South Carolina Delivery

For Charleston, check access around the historic peninsula or a controlled port facility. Give the receiving contact the pickup inspection record before the vehicle arrives.

At delivery in South Carolina, check the car against the pickup inspection and your photos. Record any concerns on the delivery paperwork before signing and keep a copy.

Factors that affect pricing

What Affects Your Florida to South Carolina Shipping Rate?

When comparing Florida to South Carolina quotes, use the same vehicle, cities, and dates. Here is what can change the price between your first estimate and a quote for the actual shipment.

Distance

Among the six city examples, Jacksonville to Charleston is about 240 miles and Miami to North Charleston is about 590 miles. A change of pickup or delivery city is a reason to request a fresh quote.

Vehicle Size

Larger vehicles generally need more space on the carrier and may weigh more. Their size can affect loading, available carrier space, and overall transportation costs.

Transport Type

Your choice between open and enclosed transport can change the price. Open transport is commonly more affordable, while enclosed transport provides additional protection during your vehicle’s journey.

Vehicle Condition

A running vehicle is usually easier to load and unload. If your car cannot move on its own, special equipment or additional handling may increase transportation costs.

Season and Demand

Shipping costs can change during busy seasons when more people need vehicle transportation. Higher demand and limited carrier availability may affect the rate for your move.

Pickup and Delivery Location

Your specific pickup and delivery areas can influence pricing. Remote locations, difficult access, or limited carrier routes may require extra planning and affect the overall transportation cost.
