I used AM/PM Premium Car Carriers based out of Chicago when I moved from NJ to NV. They came highly recommended by a relative who goes between MD and FL frequently. They're not cheap, but I read many horror stories and didn't want to risk it.
Amtrack will also ship cars, but I don't know about the price or whether they service inland areas like Charlotte. I Grandparents used them a couple of times up the East coast and it was reasonable 10ish years ago.
Why don't you drive down and pick it up? Leave the spare car with a friend for a couple days. With Florida only being a 1 day drive from NC, it would be simple to both drive down, spend the night in a hotel, and then drive back the next day. Only real cost is the hotel, <$150, gas, and carving two days out of a schedule.
I used AM/PM Premium Car Carries last year for a cross country move. I got much cheaper quotes but heard horror stories about the industry and a relative highly recommended them. My car arrived on time without damage.
Hi, I'm in the process of moving to TX from NJ. I got a quote for a car carrier trailer attachment on the back of my pick-up truck. The car carrier trailer from U-Haul is being quoted for $700 one-way.
I am opting out of using a carrier to send the car as I rather have the car with me at all times. Is there a way to get cheaper rental on the car carrier trailer for a single car from other than U-Haul.
The car carrier trailer from U-Haul is being quoted for $700 one-way.
Is there a way to get cheaper rental...
Don't you suppose the U-Haul and penske and other companies have done the calculations?
The auto shippers will cost just about as much.
They're in on it too.

Since you OWN a truck capable of doing the hauling next up is buying a dolly or trailer.
Once done the relocation... sell it or use it for something else.
Do you have a friend or acquaintance who could drive the car for you? Maybe someone who would like to visit NJ. Then you could (help) pay their way home.
Thanks guys. I rather spend $700 for U-haul flat bed than put miles and wear and tear on the car.
