Preparing your vehicle properly helps ensure it arrives safely in Washington. Here's what you need to do:

Remove personal items and accessories. Take out toll passes, GPS devices, phone chargers, and anything else loose inside your car. Remove or secure exterior accessories like roof racks, spoilers, or custom mirrors that could get damaged or fall off during transit.

Check your fuel level. Keep your gas tank between a quarter and half full. This gives the carrier enough fuel to move your vehicle on and off the transport, but not so much that it adds unnecessary weight.

Disable or document alarms. Let your carrier know if your car has an alarm system so they can avoid triggering it while loading and unloading.

Have keys ready. Make sure you have at least one key available for the carrier. They'll need it to move your vehicle during pickup and delivery.

Take photos. Document your car's current condition with photos from multiple angles. This protects you if any damage occurs during transit.

Check tire pressure and fluids. Make sure your tires are properly inflated and your battery is in good condition. Your vehicle needs to be in working order for the carrier to move it safely.

Review your shipping details. Confirm your pickup and delivery locations, and understand the timeline. For a long haul like Florida to Washington, check out our Cross Country Vehicle Transport Guide for more details about what to expect.

Following these steps makes the shipping process smoother and protects your vehicle every mile of the way.

Yes, your vehicle is insured during transport from Florida to Washington. All carriers in our network maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We verify that each carrier's insurance is active and valid before your shipment begins.

This means your car is protected throughout the journey. If damage occurs during transport, the carrier's cargo insurance covers repairs. Our verification process ensures you're working with insured, legitimate carriers—not fly-by-night operations.

We recommend scheduling your pickup at least two to three weeks in advance for a Florida to Washington shipment. This gives carriers enough time to find compatible loads heading in the same direction, which helps keep costs down and improves pickup reliability.

That said, the sooner you book, the better. When you post your shipment early, you give carriers more flexibility to bundle your car with others traveling the same route. This is especially valuable on longer cross-country moves like Florida to Washington, where consolidation saves everyone money.

If you're in a time crunch, don't worry—expedited options are available, though they typically cost more. The key is being upfront about your timeline so carriers can plan accordingly.

For the smoothest experience, learn how to ship a car and understand what to expect during the process. Having clear expectations helps everything run more smoothly.

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 rides on an open trailer exposed to the elements. Enclosed transport costs significantly more (typically 50% or higher) because your vehicle is fully protected inside a covered trailer.

Choose open transport if you have a standard vehicle in good condition and want to save money on your Florida to Washington shipment. It's safe, reliable, and used by millions of car owners every year.

Choose enclosed car shipping if you have a high-value vehicle, classic car, luxury model, or a custom paint job that needs extra protection from road debris and weather. The added cost is worth it for vehicles you can't afford to risk.

Since 2012, we've helped customers find the right shipping method for their needs. The best choice depends on your vehicle's value and your budget. Get multiple quotes so you can compare both options and make the right decision for your move.
