Shipping a Car From Missouri to Naples, Florida
St. Louis and Kansas City both send seasonal residents to Naples. St. Louis is far better served because it sits near the I-55/I-64 crossroads; Kansas City is a longer reach west of the main Florida lanes.

Carriers run I-55 or I-64 east to I-24, then I-75 south through Georgia into Florida. Expect roughly 3 to 6 days in season from the day the vehicle is loaded — not from the day you book. The distance is roughly 1,250 miles, which for a multi-car load with other stops is several driving days plus mandated rest.
Ice storms across Missouri are a real winter factor and can delay a pickup by several days.
When Missouri snowbirds ship south
- Southbound demand peaks in October and again after Thanksgiving.
- St. Louis pickups are efficient; Kansas City loads generally need a wider window.
Missouri pickup markets
Central interstate access; the easiest Missouri pickup.
West of the main southbound lanes; expect a longer match time.
Served off I-44, typically as part of a larger route.
Arriving in Naples
Most Missouri households fly into RSW in Fort Myers, 35 to 45 minutes north of Naples. Don't build a plan that requires an airline and a carrier to both run on time: have the vehicle delivered a few days before you land with an authorized receiver, or arrive first and bridge the gap with a rental.
Confirm before pickup day whether a full-size carrier can enter your community. Manned gates need the driver pre-authorized, several associations restrict commercial vehicles outright, and condominium towers are always an arrival-loop handoff.

The northbound season is compressed into March through May and behaves very differently from the fall. Worth reading before you book the southbound leg, because the two decisions interact.
