Ship a car to Florida hassle free!

Do you need to transport a car to or from Florida and don’t want to drive it there yourself? While people ship cars to and from Florida for the usual reasons (moving, relocating for a job, sending a child to college, etc), the busiest season for auto transport back and forth from the Sunshine State is the twice yearly migration of the snowbirds.

Snowbird is a term describing people who head south for the winter to avoid the cold of the northern parts of the US, and then return home after winter has passed. Snowbird car transport season accounts for a majority of the traffic to and from Florida for auto hauling companies. In fact, it’s so busy, if you’re a snowbird you should book your auto transport to Florida at least a month before you want to go. Once September and October hit, most auto transporters are booked full.

Florida is not called the sunshine state for nothing. The state features many fun things to do, both indoors and out. From the Disney World theme parks to the Everglades, this state has something for everyone. In fact, you may consider moving to Florida permanently, and if that’s the case, we can handle your car shipping needs.

Preparing to ship a car to Florida

Now that you know how to find an auto hauler to transport your vehicle to or from Florida there’s a few things you should do to prepare your car for the move.
These are some of the preparations most car transporters need you to do:

• You must leave a copy of keys for all locking compartments, including the gas tank and glove box, and keys for the ignition and trunk.
• Your vehicle should be completely emptied of all personal possessions, including the trunk.
• There must be no more than a 1/8 tank of gas in the vehicle.
• The car must be in working condition.
• Any alarm systems must be disconnected before shipment.

Taking care of these points before your vehicle is picked up by your auto hauler will help to make a more efficient shipping experience.
