Areas covered

We cover every neighborhood in the city, including Lakeland and Winter Haven, as well as distant towns like Tampa and Orlando. Our networks extend countrywide and globally.

Services offered

  • The enclosed shipping service offers extra protection from road debris, dust, and the elements. Our trucks use hydraulic lift gates for the loading and unloading to avoid damaging vehicles with a low undercarriage. We recommend the service when you have a prototype, a race car, a classic, or a high-end luxury brand.
  • The open-air standard offers the best solution if you need to transfer more than one vehicle simultaneously. Our rigs can haul between 8 and 11 automobiles on the same trip, leading to the most economical rates when shipping cars to or from Auburndale.
  • If you need to get the vehicle off your hands as soon as possible, you might want to consider a terminal carrier. Please drop it off at the nearest A-1 Auto Transport depot in your state. We will collect it and send it to another storage hub at the destination.
  • Door-to-door transport allows the movers more control over the shipping process. We will send our representative to fetch the item and safely deliver it to your residence or business premises. We may settle for the nearest parking lot if our truck cannot reach your neighborhood.
  • We have all the solutions you might need to send your vehicle overseas. Our RoRo service offers an economical option. Containerized carrier provides extra safety to high-end brands and rare classics.

Types of Autos That We Carry

How to Prepare For Shipment

Start by cleaning the car so that you can conduct a thorough inspection. Walk around the body and note the existing paint chips, scratches, dents, and discolorations. Use a camera to take date-stamped photographs of the imperfections and general body shots from all angles.

vehicles being transported

Because of safety and federal regulations, household goods cannot be inside the vehicle. If these items cause the truck to exceed the weight restriction, the driver might have to leave them behind at the DOT checkpoints. Flouting the rules attracts penalties from the authorities.

If you have a non-running vehicle, the transporter must have this information to prepare the right equipment. Fix all the mechanical issues to avoid unnecessary delays during the process:

  • Top off the fluid levels
  • Keep the battery on a full charge
  • Make sure that you have well-inflated tires
  • Record all the unsolved problems and special steps needed to handle the vehicle

Leave about 1/4 of the gas in the tank, which allows the transporter to start and drive the vehicle when necessary. Too much fuel adds unnecessary weight to the carrier, leading to avoidable delays at the weighing stations.

Secure all the loose parts on the exterior and remove the custom items such as spoilers, luggage racks, and ground effects. Fold in your side-view mirrors and remove/retract the antenna. If you have a convertible, secure the top cover to prevent possible damage by the elements.

Disable the alarm system before giving out the vehicle. Deactivate the toll tags to keep them from accumulating unnecessary charges as your car travels on the truck. Find a locksmith to make a set of spare keys that you will hand over to the trucker at the collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Auburndale, FL?

As of August 23, 2026, open transport for a running standard sedan from Auburndale typically costs $500-$700 under 500 miles, $800-$1,200 for 500-1,500 miles, and $1,100-$1,600 for 1,500+ miles. Longer cross-country trips, larger vehicles, enclosed service, or less flexible pickup dates can push a quote above those bands. Our car shipping rates guide explains how distance, vehicle size, operability, and trailer type affect the final price.

How long does car shipping take from Auburndale, FL?

Loaded car shipping from Auburndale typically takes 1-3 days under 500 miles, 2-6 days for 500-1,500 miles, and 5-9 days for 1,500+ miles. Pickup scheduling happens before loaded transit begins, so the total time from booking can be longer. Distance, carrier stops, traffic, and weather can move delivery within the estimated window. Treat the delivery date as an estimate unless your specific service agreement states otherwise.

Is door-to-door car shipping available in Auburndale, FL?

Yes, door-to-door car shipping is available in Auburndale when a large carrier can legally and safely reach the pickup or delivery property. Auburndale restricts parking of tractor-trailers and similar heavy vehicles in residential districts, while allowing them on private property when making pickups, deliveries, or providing services. If the carrier cannot use the property safely, a nearby legal meeting point may be needed. Our door-to-door auto transport service explains how address-based pickup works.

What vehicles can be shipped from Auburndale, FL?

Auburndale vehicle shipping can accommodate standard sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, classic cars, specialty vehicles, and cars that do not run when the carrier setup matches the vehicle. Vehicle dimensions, ground clearance, modifications, and operability affect the trailer and loading equipment required. Tell the transport company about a non-running vehicle or major modifications when requesting the quote so the correct equipment can be arranged before pickup.

Is enclosed car transport available in Auburndale, FL?

Yes, enclosed car transport is available for Auburndale shipments and is commonly chosen for classic, luxury, exotic, high-value, and low-clearance vehicles. A covered trailer reduces exposure to weather, dust, and road debris during transport. Open carriers generally have greater availability and cost less, while enclosed trailers carry fewer vehicles and can require more scheduling flexibility. A1's enclosed auto transport options explain the differences.

How do I choose a car shipping company near Auburndale, FL?

Before booking Auburndale car shipping, verify whether the company is acting as a broker or motor carrier and check its federal registration. FMCSA's SAFER Company Snapshot lets you search by company name, USDOT number, or MC/MX number and review identification and safety-record information. Match the legal name and federal identifiers to your paperwork, then compare written quotes for the same transport method and pickup window. A company that will not provide registration details deserves additional scrutiny.

Jeff Shelton
They really saved me
★★★★★

This company honestly saved the day for me. I had another car shipping company completely drop the ball after weeks of waiting, and I was moving out of state the next morning stressing out. I spoke with Sarah and right away I felt like I was finally dealing with someone reliable who actually communicated. She stayed in touch through the whole transport process, got a last minute truck lined up, and kept everything easy on my end.

Henry Joseph
Stress free the whole way
★★★★★

I moved from Boston to California on a budget and was honestly worried about the whole shipping process at first. The team reassured me everything would be handled professionally and they stayed in contact the entire time, including when the driver picked up the car and delivered it. I liked having direct communication if I needed updates or wanted to coordinate drop off details. The driver delivered on time and the whole thing ended up hassle free and way less stressful than I expected.

Willard Cooper
Car arrived in perfect shape
★★★★★

Not gonna lie, it felt a little sketchy at first. But the car showed up in perfect condition, super fast, and the door to door pricing was really good for the service. The team was supportive the whole time too. I’d do it again for sure.

Lawrence Bennett
Great first shipping experience
★★★★★

This was my first time getting a car transported and I had a lot of questions since it was my dream car. The first truck ended up breaking down, which wasn’t their fault at all, but they got another driver dispatched the next day and kept things moving. I got updates from both dispatch and the driver during the shipment, which helped a lot.
