Before pickup, prepare your vehicle with these simple steps:

• Wash the exterior so you and the carrier can check its condition. Take clear photos of any existing damage.
• Remove personal items, valuables, toll passes, and fragile accessories from the vehicle.
• Remove or secure exterior items such as bike racks, spoilers, antennas, and loose trim.
• Leave about one-quarter tank of fuel, check the tires, and make sure the battery is secure.
• Disable the alarm and provide the carrier with the keys needed to move the vehicle.
• Tell the carrier if the vehicle does not run, has special features, or needs extra care.

Keep your registration, insurance papers, and other important documents with you. Your carrier may have additional requirements, so confirm the final checklist before pickup from Florida.

Yes. Your vehicle is insured while it is transported from Florida to Illinois. Our quotes are all-inclusive, and every carrier we use must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We verify that the carrier’s policy is valid and in good standing for the duration of your shipment.

Coverage is subject to the policy’s terms and exclusions. Personal belongings may not be covered, so remove them before pickup. You should also photograph your vehicle and record its condition on the bill of lading before transport.

Schedule your pickup from Florida to Illinois at least two weeks in advance. Earlier is better, especially during busy travel periods and holidays. Booking early gives carriers more time to match your vehicle with a route and can give you more pickup-date options.

Last-minute shipping may still be possible, but carrier choices can be limited and the price may be higher. Keep in mind that pickup dates are usually provided as a time window, not an exact appointment. For more planning tips, read our guide on how to ship a car.

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.

Open transport is the standard and usually the lower-cost option for shipping a car from Florida to Illinois. Your vehicle travels on an uncovered trailer with other cars, so it is exposed to normal road weather, dust, and debris.

Enclosed transport carries your vehicle inside a covered trailer. It offers more protection from weather and road debris, but it usually costs substantially more. It is often the better choice for classic, exotic, restored, luxury, or custom-painted vehicles.

For most everyday cars, open shipping offers good value. Choose enclosed shipping when protecting the vehicle is more important than keeping the price down. When comparing quotes, confirm the trailer type, pickup and delivery terms, and insurance details. You can also learn more about our car relocation services.

Yes. We offer door-to-door car shipping from Florida to Illinois. When you book, provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Your carrier will aim to collect and deliver your vehicle as close to those locations as safely and legally possible.

Some streets may not work for a large transport truck due to narrow roads, low branches, traffic limits, or other access issues. If needed, the driver will arrange a nearby safe location, such as a shopping center or parking lot. This service is available for open and enclosed car shipping.
