How can I ship my car from New York to Florida?

Published by Joe Webster.

How can I ship my car from New York to Florida?

To ship your car from New York to Florida, gather quotes from several reputable auto transport companies. Ensure your chosen company is registered with the Department of Transportation. Prepare your car by cleaning it thoroughly and documenting any pre-existing damages. Decide between open or enclosed transport and opt for door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal delivery. After your car is picked up, it will be transported to Florida. Upon its arrival, inspect the vehicle for any potential damages before finalising the delivery.

Vehicle transportation services form an extensive industry dedicated to transporting vehicles from one location to another. These services come in handy in various situations, such as when purchasing a car from a long-distance seller, relocating to a different city, or needing to move a classic or exotic vehicle securely. It eliminates the daunting task of driving a vehicle across a great distance, instead ensuring a safe, efficient delivery of the vehicle in the hands of professionals.

Choosing the Right Auto Transport Company

Choosing an auto transport company involves several factors. Online reviews and client testimonials reveal the company's reputation. These reviews reveal the quality of service, the professionalism of the drivers and staff, and, most importantly, how the company handles unexpected transportation issues. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) can provide company credibility and performance information.

Pricing is another important factor when choosing a transport company. Distance, vehicle type, and delivery speed affect prices. Compare quotes from several auto transport companies to find the best deal. Take into account that lower prices shouldn't compromise transportation quality or safety. Avoid surprise charges by including all costs in the quote. Get all terms and conditions in writing for future reference and to avoid disputes.

Deciding on the Type of Transport Carrier

A major consideration when choosing a vehicle transport service is the carrier. Open and enclosed carriers are general options. Open carriers are most popular because they're cheap. These carriers expose vehicles to weather and road debris.

However, enclosed carriers protect vehicles better. They are much more expensive than open carriers, but they are better for transporting luxury sports cars, vintage cars, and other valuable vehicles. This added security may influence the choice between open and enclosed carriers.

Preparing Your Car for Long-Distance Shipping

Preparing your car for long-distance travel is essential. Deeply clean your car inside and out. A clean interior prevents permanent stains and damage, while a clean exterior makes it easier to spot scratches, dints, and other flaws. Remove car paperwork, personal items, and electronics. These items add weight, and transport companies aren't usually liable for personal belongings left in vehicles.

Maintenance checks are important, too. Check your car's mechanics. Top off fluids, check the battery, tyre pressure, and brakes. Keep a quarter gas tank in your car—a full tank makes your car heavier and may cost more to transport. Also, turn off your car alarm to avoid interruptions while moving. You'll prepare your vehicle well by following these steps, making transportation easier.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
