Preparing your vehicle for transit from Florida to Pennsylvania is straightforward. Here's what you need to do:

Remove personal items and accessories. Take out toll passes, GPS devices, phone chargers, and any loose items from your car. Remove custom parts, spoilers, or other exterior accessories that could get damaged during transport. An empty interior also makes the carrier's job easier.

Check your fuel level. Keep your tank about a quarter full. This gives the carrier enough fuel to load and unload your vehicle safely without wasting fuel on the long trip.

Have your keys ready. Make sure you have at least one working key available for the carrier to use when loading and unloading your car.

Document your vehicle's condition. Take photos or videos of your car before pickup. Note any existing dents, scratches, or damage. This protects you and provides a clear record for comparison when your vehicle arrives.

Ensure your vehicle is in working order. Your car should start and drive normally. If there are mechanical issues, tell your carrier upfront so they can plan accordingly.

Verify your insurance. Check that you have valid insurance coverage for your vehicle during transport.

Yes, your vehicle is insured during transport from Florida to Pennsylvania. All of our carriers are required to maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. Before we assign a carrier to your shipment, we verify that their insurance policy is active and valid for the entire duration of your transport.

This coverage protects your vehicle throughout the journey. However, you may want to review your own auto insurance policy to understand what additional coverage you have while your car is in transit.

We recommend scheduling your pickup at least two weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to find a good match for your shipment and bundle it with other vehicles heading the same direction, which helps keep your costs down.

That said, the sooner you book, the better. When you post your shipment early, you give drivers more options and flexibility to work your car into their routes. This can mean faster pickup times and more reliable scheduling.

If you need your car moved quickly, we offer Expedited Car Shipping Services for urgent situations. But in most cases, giving yourself two to three weeks will get you the best combination of speed and value.

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 vs Enclosed Transport

The main difference comes down to protection and cost. Open car shipping uses a standard flatbed trailer where your vehicle is exposed to the elements. Enclosed transport puts your car inside a covered trailer, protecting it from weather, road debris, and dust.

Cost Difference

Enclosed transport typically costs 50% to 100% more than open shipping. This higher price reflects the extra protection and limited trailer capacity—enclosed trailers fit fewer vehicles than open ones.

When to Choose Each Option

Choose open shipping if you're shipping a standard vehicle and want the best value. It's safe, reliable, and gets your car from Florida to Pennsylvania without breaking the bank.

Choose enclosed shipping if you have a high-value vehicle, classic car, luxury model, or custom paint job that needs extra protection from the elements and road hazards.

For most people shipping everyday cars, open transport makes sense. But if your vehicle is special or irreplaceable, the extra cost of enclosed transport is worth the peace of mind. Learn more about how to ship a car to find the right option for your situation.
