| From | To | Typical Delivery After Pickup |
|---|---|---|

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.
Illinois to Florida — FAQs
How far in advance should I book?
For IL→FL routes, 3–7 days’ notice is ideal. Rush pickups are possible 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).
