How to find cheap Florida Auto Shipping Companies?

 

The easiest way would be to use sites like Cartransport.PRO or Yelp. These sites aggregates all companies based on their location and business type to make it easier to search through them.

But here is the question – do you need to hire Florida registered company to move your car? The answer would be definitely no. All major transportation companies have access to the national load board and most of them don’t have their own trucks – aka they will subcontract your request to the carrier that have truck not far away. Chances to get in touch with the carrier, not with the broker are minimal. Simply because carriers don’t market themselves. They rely solely on load board with completed orders (where they don’t need to make any pre-sales work).

However it might be a good decision to choose a Florida based broker company to support your local business.

Here is the list of top companies on our platform based on their reviews:

How to save on Florida car shipping?

The main advise would be – don’t be in a rush and check car transport company reviews prior to placing an order.

Some companies might add $250 on top of their rate for so called “expedited service” in case you need to ship your car within today-tomorrow. Simply plan everything in advance – place your order at least on week prior to your first available shipping date.

It might be a good decision to indicate your pickup location as your work address in order not to wait for the car hauler at your door steps. You can also leave the keys from your vehicle to somebody in your house to hand them to the driver.

Make sure your the big rig can drive through your street, otherwise you might choose to drop f the car at the nearest parking lot or near the mall.
