Illinois to Florida 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.

Before your vehicle leaves Illinois, prepare it for a safe and easy pickup:

• Remove personal items, valuables, toll passes, and loose items from the cabin, trunk, and glove box.
• Remove or secure fragile exterior parts, such as antennas, spoilers, roof racks, and custom accessories.
• Wash the vehicle and take photos of each side. Note any existing dents, scratches, or chips.
• Check that the tires are inflated, the battery is secure, and the vehicle has no major fluid leaks.
• Leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Make sure the carrier has a working key, including keys for locked compartments.
• Tell the carrier if the vehicle does not run, has special features, or has an alarm. Keep required documents available.

Ask your carrier for its final inspection and loading instructions. Requirements can vary by carrier and by whether you use open or enclosed transport.

Yes. Your vehicle is insured while it is transported from Illinois to Florida. Our quotes are all-inclusive, and every carrier we use must have at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo coverage. We verify that the carrier’s policy is active and in good standing before your vehicle ships.

Coverage is subject to the carrier’s policy terms and does not cover personal items left in the vehicle or pre-existing damage. Before pickup, inspect your vehicle with the driver and record its condition on the bill of lading. Report any new damage promptly so a claim can be reviewed.

We recommend scheduling your Illinois-to-Florida pickup at least two weeks in advance. Booking earlier gives us more time to match your vehicle with a carrier and may help the carrier bundle it with other vehicles on the route.

Pickup dates are usually set within a time window, rather than guaranteed for one exact day. We may still arrange a last-minute shipment, but you may have fewer carrier options. If your dates are flexible, let us know when you request a quote.

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 choice for shipping a car from Illinois to Florida. Your vehicle travels on an open trailer with other cars, so it is exposed to normal weather and road dust. It usually costs less because the trailer can carry more vehicles.

Enclosed transport carries your car inside a covered trailer. It offers added protection from weather, road debris, and public view, but it costs more and may have less availability. It is often worth considering for classic, luxury, exotic, restored, or custom-painted vehicles.

For most everyday cars, open transport offers the best value. Enclosed shipping makes more sense when protecting the vehicle is more important than keeping the cost to ship a car as low as possible. Your final price will depend on the vehicle, pickup and delivery locations, timing, and trailer availability.

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

Some neighborhoods have narrow streets, low branches, parking limits, or other access issues. If the carrier cannot reach an address, they will work with you to choose a nearby safe location, such as a large parking lot or gas station. Door-to-door service means convenient pickup and delivery—not transport inside a home or onto private property when access is unsafe.
