How Our Car Shipping Process Works

Shipping a vehicle from Florida to New York becomes easier when you know what to expect at each stage. Our process is designed to keep your shipment organized, your vehicle protected, and communication clear from pickup through delivery.

1. Request Your Quote
Start by providing your vehicle details, pickup location, delivery destination, and preferred shipping dates. We use this information to prepare a transportation quote based on your specific shipment.

2. Schedule Your Transport
Once you are ready to move forward, our team confirms the shipment details and works on arranging transportation for your vehicle. There is no upfront payment until a carrier or driver has been assigned to your shipment. We operate as both a carrier and a brokerage, allowing us to arrange transportation through our own services or trusted carrier partners based on your shipment needs.

3. Prepare for Pickup
Before your vehicle is collected, our team confirms the pickup details and coordinates the door-to-door transport arrangements. Follow the recommended preparation steps to make the pickup process easier. Your vehicle should be accessible, with the necessary keys and documentation available for the driver.

4. Complete the Pickup Inspection
At pickup, the driver carefully documents your vehicle's existing condition. Photos and inspection details provide a clear record of the vehicle before it begins its journey from Florida to New York.

5. Transport and Stay Updated
Your vehicle is transported in an enclosed carrier for added protection from weather, road debris, and other outdoor conditions. As we operate our own trucks alongside our carrier network, we have additional flexibility when arranging transportation for your vehicle. Our team remains available to provide updates throughout the shipment.

6. Delivery and Final Inspection
Once your vehicle reaches its New York destination, the delivery inspection allows you to compare its condition with the pickup documentation. This provides a clear record from the beginning to the end of your transport.

Preparing Your Vehicle for Enclosed Transport

Proper preparation helps make enclosed vehicle transport more efficient and gives the driver a clear starting point for the shipment. Before pickup, take a few practical steps to prepare your vehicle for its journey from Florida to New York.

Clean the Vehicle

A clean exterior makes it easier to identify and document existing scratches, dents, chips, or other visible damage during the pickup inspection. The vehicle does not need to be professionally detailed, but the exterior should be clean enough for a thorough inspection.

Document Existing Condition

Take clear photographs of your vehicle before pickup, including the exterior, wheels, windows, and any existing damage. These photos can provide an additional reference alongside the driver's inspection documentation.

Leave About a Quarter Tank of Fuel

A small amount of fuel allows the vehicle to be moved when necessary without adding unnecessary weight during transportation. Avoid filling the tank completely before pickup.

Disable Alarm Systems

If your vehicle has an alarm system, disable it before the driver arrives. This helps prevent interruptions during loading, unloading, and transportation.

Remove or Secure Loose Items

Personal belongings are permitted inside the vehicle within our guidelines. Our team can provide details about what is permitted when you arrange your shipment.

Keep Important Items With You

Remove valuables, important documents, medications, and other personal items that you do not want transported with the vehicle. Keep your keys and required paperwork available for the driver at pickup.

Following these steps helps create a smoother handoff and gives the driver the information needed to handle your vehicle properly throughout the enclosed transport process.
