Preparing your vehicle properly helps protect it during transit and makes the pickup process smooth. Here's what you need to do:

Remove personal items and accessories. Take out anything loose inside your car—documents, valuables, electronics, and fragile items shouldn't travel with your vehicle. Also remove any exterior add-ons like roof racks, spoilers, or custom trim that could get damaged or lost in transit.

Clear out toll passes and check your fuel level. Remove any toll passes, parking permits, or EZ-Pass devices. Keep your fuel tank at a quarter tank—enough for the carrier to move your vehicle on and off the transport, but not so full that it's a safety concern.

Disable alarms and provide a spare key. If your car has a car alarm, disable it before pickup. Have a spare key ready for the carrier, since your vehicle will need to be moved during loading and unloading.

Document your vehicle's condition. Take photos of your car from multiple angles before shipment. This gives you a record of its condition in case any damage occurs during transport. When the carrier arrives, do a final walk-around inspection together and note any pre-existing dents or scratches on the bill of lading.

Check your insurance coverage. Make sure you understand what's covered during transport. You may want to learn more about auto transport insurance options to protect your vehicle.

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

This coverage protects your vehicle in case of damage during transport. However, it's worth noting that carrier insurance typically covers only the depreciated value of your car, not its full replacement cost. If you want additional protection, you can learn more about auto transport insurance options.

When you get multiple quotes from our network, you'll see all the details about each carrier's coverage upfront. That way, you know exactly what protection you're getting before your car hits the road.

We recommend scheduling your pickup at least two to three weeks in advance when shipping a car from Florida to New York. This gives carriers enough time to find other shipments heading the same direction, which helps keep your costs down.

The earlier you book, the better your options. When you post your shipment soon, carriers can bundle your vehicle with others in the same region, making the transport more efficient and economical. This is how we keep prices competitive for our customers.

If you need your car faster, Expedited Car Shipping Services are available, though they typically cost more. For the best rates on this route, get multiple quotes as soon as you know your shipping date.

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 protection and cost.

Open transport is the more affordable option. Your car travels on an open trailer exposed to the elements—sun, rain, wind, and road debris. It's a safe, common method used for most vehicles, but your car won't have a protective cover.

Enclosed transport costs significantly more—typically 50% to 100% higher than open shipping. Your vehicle travels inside a covered trailer, protected from weather, dirt, and debris. This option is ideal if you're shipping a classic car, luxury vehicle, or a car with a custom paint job that needs extra care.

To decide which option works best for your Florida to New York shipment, consider your vehicle's value and condition. If you're shipping a standard car and want to save money, open transport is a solid choice. If you want maximum protection, enclosed car shipping is worth the investment. Either way, get multiple quotes to compare prices and find the best deal for your specific needs.

Yes, we offer door-to-door car shipping from Florida to New York. When you book with us, we'll pick up your vehicle at your preferred location in Florida and deliver it directly to your chosen address in New York.

Here's how it works: During booking, you'll provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will do their best to pick up and drop off at those exact locations. In rare cases where there are access restrictions or safety concerns—like narrow driveways or gated communities—the carrier will work with you to find a nearby alternative, such as a gas station or parking lot.

Door-to-door service is the most convenient option because it saves you time and hassle. You won't need to arrange separate transportation to a terminal or meet point. This is especially valuable for the long Florida-to-New York route.
