Carvana has expanded same-day vehicle delivery to the greater Jacksonville, Florida, area, adding another market to its faster online used-car service. The key qualifier in the company’s October 14, 2026, announcement is eligibility: select customers may receive a vehicle on the day they order, rather than every purchase carrying a same-day promise.

The expansion also covers people selling cars

Carvana says local sellers can schedule vehicle pickup or drop-off as soon as the day they complete its online appraisal process. That is an option to arrange a transaction, not a guarantee that every appraisal will lead to an immediate handover.

The company attributes the service to its own logistics network and regional inspection and reconditioning centers. It says same-day service, first launched in Arizona, now operates in selected markets across more than 20 states, with further regional expansion planned.

Confirm the slot—not just the headline

The release does not spell out a universal Jacksonville order cutoff, a complete list of eligible ZIP codes or a same-day commitment for every vehicle. Shoppers should therefore check the actual delivery option attached to their chosen car and address before making plans around it.

For sellers, an appraisal and a confirmed collection appointment are separate checkpoints. For buyers, speed is also separate from the vehicle’s condition, price and purchase terms. The announcement establishes a service expansion; it does not independently establish how consistently customers will receive same-day delivery.
