Florida to Texas Car Shipping

Our team has been in the car shipping industry for a long time. We worked for some of the largest brokers and knew there was a better way to do things.

So we set out to create a company that would be different. We want to walk you through how the process works and we guarantee to match any price you hear from a competitor.

We're a scrappy team that looks forward to earning your business.

Preparing your vehicle properly is key to a smooth Florida-to-Texas shipment. Here's what you need to do:

Remove personal items and accessories. Take out or secure anything loose inside your car—CDs, phone chargers, personal documents. Remove exterior accessories like roof racks, antennas, or custom bumpers that could get damaged or lost during transport.

Clear out toll passes and valuables. Remove any toll passes, garage door openers, or expensive items. These can malfunction during transit or create liability issues.

Document your vehicle's condition. Take photos of your car from multiple angles before pickup. Note any existing dents, scratches, or damage. This protects you and gives the carrier a clear baseline.

Check your fluids and battery. Make sure your gas tank is no more than a quarter full (for safety during transport). Check that your battery has a good charge so the carrier can move your vehicle if needed.

Have keys ready. Provide the carrier with working keys. If your car has a keyless entry system, make sure the fob works properly.

Disable alarms. If your vehicle has a car alarm, disable it before pickup to prevent it from going off during transport.

Check tire pressure and brakes. Ensure your tires are properly inflated and your brakes work well. This matters for the carrier's safety and your vehicle's condition upon delivery.

Yes, your vehicle is insured during transport from Florida to Texas. 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 every carrier's insurance is current and valid before your shipment begins.

This insurance covers your vehicle throughout the entire journey. If damage occurs during transport, the carrier's cargo insurance is there to protect you. We're transparent about this because your peace of mind matters—you should know your car is protected when you choose to ship it.

When you get a quote from us, these insurance requirements are already built in. There are no hidden fees or surprise coverage gaps. We handle the verification so you don't have to.

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

The earlier you book, the better. When you post your shipment soon, carriers can bundle your vehicle with others traveling the same route. This consolidation is how we keep prices competitive—it's one of the ways we've worked to break the old broker monopoly and pass real savings to you.

That said, life happens. If you need faster service, we offer expedited car shipping services for time-sensitive moves. And if you're flexible with your timeline, that flexibility often means lower quotes.

The key is being honest about your deadline. The more notice you give, the more options available to you—and the more value you'll get for your money.

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.

When shipping your car from Florida to Texas, you'll choose between two main transport types: open transport and enclosed transport.

Open Transport is the more affordable option. Your vehicle travels on an open trailer exposed to weather and road debris. This works well for most everyday cars, trucks, and SUVs that can handle normal wear during transit.

Enclosed Transport costs significantly more—typically 50% higher or more than open options. Your car travels inside a covered trailer, protected from rain, dust, road salt, and flying debris. This is the right choice if you're shipping a classic car, luxury vehicle, or a car with a custom paint job that needs extra protection.

Your choice depends on your vehicle's value and your budget. A reliable sedan might ship fine on an open trailer. A vintage Mustang or high-end sports car deserves the protection of an enclosed trailer. Learn more about what affects your shipping cost to help make the best decision for your situation.
