From Clearwater, Florida, your vehicle gains access to key highway networks linking the Southeast to destinations nationwide. Short-haul deliveries to nearby states typically complete within 2–4 days, and long-distance routes across the country generally take 5–9 days. We factor in distance, seasonal conditions, and carrier scheduling to give you the most accurate delivery window possible.
With AutoMove, your vehicle travels under the assigned carrier's cargo insurance from the instant it's loaded at IAA Clearwater until it reaches your location.

Door-to-door delivery is our standard offering, and you'll receive tracking updates at every stage of the shipment along with responsive customer support.
Vehicles leaving the IAA Clearwater yard reach I-4 in about 16 miles, with I-75 roughly 22 miles out. Those are the corridors a car hauler actually runs to reach this gate, and the yard sits west of Tampa.
Booking a pickup here
Carriers can only load while the gate is open, so a truck arriving after closing waits until the next business day — that is why we book a pickup window rather than just a date. If you have won vehicles at more than one yard in this area, say so on the quote: putting them on a single carrier is normally cheaper than booking separate pickups.
How far is IAA Clearwater from major cities?
Driving distances from this yard: Clearwater 11 mi (19 min), St. Petersburg 12 mi (18 min), Tampa 17 mi (26 min), Lakeland 50 mi (1 hr 5 min). Larger metros: Orlando 100 mi (2 hr 2 min), Jacksonville 215 mi (4 hr 19 min), Miami 275 mi (5 hr 10 min). Mileage is measured on the road network, not in a straight line, and the times shown are typical car drive times. A loaded carrier runs slower and works to a pickup window, so plan on 1-2 days of transit to those metros once a truck is dispatched.
