  3. Pickup & delivery: Door-to-door when accessible, inspections at both ends, final confirmation.

What Affects Your Price

  • Trailer type: Open is best value; enclosed protects exotics/collectibles.
  • Vehicle size/condition: Oversized or inoperable vehicles need special handling.
  • Timing & season: Fall/winter demand can raise rates; flexible dates help.
  • Access & logistics: Urban restrictions may require a nearby meeting spot.

You’ll get a clear, honest quote with no surprise add-ons.

Open vs. Enclosed Transport

Open is the most economical and widely available. Enclosed protects high-value or low-clearance vehicles from weather and road debris. We’ll recommend the right fit.

What You’ll Need

  • Pickup & delivery addresses (or ZIPs) and flexible dates if possible
  • Vehicle info: year, make, model, running condition, mods
  • Primary contact for both ends; gate codes if any
  • Photo ID for delivery; someone 18+ to sign inspections

No deposit until a carrier is assigned and shown with DOT/MC & insurance.

California to Florida — FAQs

How far in advance should I book?

For long-haul routes, 5–10 days’ notice is ideal. We can usually handle rush pickups with a flexible window.

Is door-to-door included?

Yes, when accessible. If streets are restricted, the driver will arrange a nearby safe meeting point.

Can I ship personal items in the car?

Light items (under ~100 lbs) below window level are often fine—tell us in advance so we can clear it with the carrier.

What about insurance?

Carrier cargo insurance is included. Do quick inspections at pickup and delivery and snap photos for your records.

How are payments handled?

We’ll confirm before dispatch. Many carriers prefer a small broker fee by card and the balance on delivery (varies by carrier).
