How It Works - After you book your pickup date with the car shipper, there are some basic things you’ll need to do to ensure the car is ready to be loaded onto the carrier. This includes essential maintenance, checking fluid levels and tire pressure to ensure the vehicle runs well. (Not all auto transporters will move an inoperable car.) When the driver arrives to pick up your vehicle, they will note the condition on the bill of lading (the primary document in cargo shipping), which you should review. Any damages should be noted on the bill of lading, and you’ll want it to be as accurate as possible since it will provide a basis for comparison once the car arrives at its destination. If the initial condition isn’t exact, the shipper may not be liable for damages incurred during the moving process. Though most companies can provide temporary storage, you must be present when the vehicle is dropped off (see below).

View this article from Wikihow.com for a more in-depth look at the process of having a professional move your car.

Watercraft Transport - Since we handle a lot of vehicle hauling in Florida, we know that not every vehicle that needs to be shipped is on wheels. Some, but not all, car shipping companies are also equipped to move boats, yachts, and jet skis. Though there are limitations based on the size and type of carriers they have available, boat conveyance is very much a part of the vehicle moving industry. Our boat transport options are especially popular for seasonal vacationers, sports fishermen, and private owners driving long distances. Make sure you talk to someone on the phone if you need a boat shipped since not all companies offer the service, and there may be limitations on what types of boats they can move.

Are you winterizing your boat or storing it for an extended period? Before doing so, read these tips (PDF) and consult the boat storage checklist.

Storage - It’s not uncommon for customers who need a car shipped to also need short-term storage. In most cases, the customer must be present to receive the vehicle, which means that storage is sometimes necessary. If you know that you’ll need storage when you’re booking the transport company, make sure to mention it early on in the process. You may qualify for a discount when booking both services simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does car shipping to or from Melbourne, FL cost?

As of August 11, 2026, standard open-carrier Melbourne auto transport commonly runs about $500-$850 regionally, $850-$1,300 for 500-1,500 miles, and $1,200-$1,600 cross-country. These are planning bands for an operable, standard-size vehicle; larger vehicles, non-running cars, enclosed service, and tight pickup windows can raise the quote. Short routes also cost more per mile even when the total is lower. A1’s car shipping rates guide explains the main pricing inputs before you request a route-specific quote.

How long does car shipping to or from Melbourne, FL take?

Loaded transit for car shipping to or from Melbourne, FL is typically 1-3 days within Florida, 3-7 days for roughly 500-1,500 miles, and 7-10 days cross-country. Pickup scheduling happens before loaded transit and may add a few days while a carrier is assigned and routed to your location. Open carriers usually have more scheduling availability than enclosed equipment. Weather, traffic, and multi-stop routing can shift the delivery window, so use the carrier’s current estimate rather than planning around a guaranteed arrival date.

Can a car carrier pick up at my Melbourne, FL address?

Melbourne auto transport can usually be arranged door-to-door, which means the driver meets you at your address or the closest safe, legal loading point a large carrier can reach. A1’s door-to-door auto transport service explains how that handoff works. FDOT’s active I-95 resurfacing project through Brevard County includes the U.S. 192, Eau Gallie Boulevard, Pineda Causeway, and Wickham Road interchanges, with intermittent nighttime single-lane closures from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. If your pickup is near one of those ramps, confirm the meeting point and timing with the driver before loading.

What’s the difference between open and enclosed car shipping in Melbourne?

Open car shipping carries your vehicle on an exposed multi-car trailer, while enclosed transport uses a covered trailer that reduces exposure to weather and road debris. Open service is usually the lower-cost, easier-to-schedule choice for daily drivers. A1’s enclosed auto transport options fit classic, exotic, restored, or high-value vehicles when added protection matters more than the higher price and narrower carrier pool. Both methods still call for a documented condition check at pickup and delivery.

How should I prepare my vehicle for a Melbourne car shipping pickup?

Before a Melbourne pickup, wash the vehicle enough to see existing damage, photograph all sides, remove valuables and loose items, and leave about one-quarter tank of fuel. Make sure the tires are inflated, the battery holds a charge, and tell the coordinator before dispatch if the car does not run or has modifications that affect loading. At pickup, walk around the vehicle with the driver and make sure existing damage is recorded on the Bill of Lading before you sign it. Keep your photos and paperwork until delivery.

How can I track a car shipment to or from Melbourne, FL?

After pickup, A1 customers can use a VIN or booking ID to follow the shipment through A1’s car shipping tracker. The current tracking page says the dashboard can show location, route progress, estimated delivery information, and driver details when available. Update frequency can vary if a GPS or carrier data feed pauses, so a temporary gap does not by itself mean the truck has stopped moving. Keep your order number handy if you need A1 to confirm the shipment status directly.
