Preparing your vehicle for the Arizona to Florida route takes just a few simple steps. Here's what you need to do:

Remove Personal Items and Accessories

Take out all personal belongings, toll passes, and detachable accessories like roof racks or spoilers. These items can shift during transit or get damaged. Only leave what's permanently attached to the vehicle.

Check Your Vehicle's Condition

Document your car's current condition with photos or video. Note any existing dents, scratches, or mechanical issues. This protects you during pickup and delivery.

Ensure Mechanical Readiness

Make sure your vehicle runs properly and has enough fuel to load and unload (usually a quarter tank is fine). Check that windows and doors operate smoothly, as carriers need to inspect and access your vehicle.

Provide Access and Keys

Have a working key available for the carrier. If your vehicle has an electronic key fob, make sure it functions properly. This is essential for the carrier to move your car on and off the transport.

Disable Alarms and Special Features

If your car has a car alarm, disable it or provide instructions to the carrier. Let them know about any special features or quirks, like a finicky door latch or a transmission that needs warming up.

Yes, your vehicle is insured during transport from Arizona to Florida. All of our carriers are required to have a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We verify that each carrier's insurance policy is valid and active for the entire duration of your shipment.

This coverage protects your vehicle in case of damage or loss during transport. However, we recommend reviewing the specific coverage details with our team, as your personal auto insurance policy may also play a role depending on your situation.

We recommend scheduling your pickup at least two weeks in advance when shipping from Arizona to Florida. This gives carriers enough time to find compatible shipments in your area and bundle them together, which helps keep costs down for you.

That said, the sooner you book, the better. When you post your shipment early, you give yourself more options. Carriers have more flexibility to work your vehicle into their routes, and you're less likely to face rush fees or limited availability.

If you need your car shipped faster, we also offer expedited car shipping services. But for standard shipments on this long-distance route, two weeks is a solid timeline that balances cost and convenience.

We accept all forms of payment. We can arrange credit cards or arrange for you to pay the carrier directly through cash/certified check. We even accept payment via Cash/Zelle/Venmo.

The main difference between open and enclosed auto transport comes down to cost and protection.

Open transport is the more affordable option. Your car travels on an open trailer, exposed to the elements and road debris. This works great for most vehicles, especially newer cars with standard paint jobs. Open car shipping typically costs 30-50% less than enclosed options.

Enclosed transport costs more—usually 50% higher or more—but your vehicle is fully protected inside a covered trailer. There's no exposure to weather, dust, or debris. This is worth it if you're shipping a high-value vehicle, classic car, luxury model, or one with a custom paint job that you need to protect.

From Arizona to Florida, the distance is long enough that weather and road conditions matter. If your car is standard and you're budget-conscious, open transport is a solid choice. If your vehicle is valuable or you want maximum protection for the 2,000+ mile journey, enclosed is the better investment.

Either way, make sure your shipment is covered. Learn more about vehicle shipping insurance to understand what's protected during transit.
