With open transport, loading and unloading your vehicle is a quick and efficient process. While your car may experience some exposure to weather and road conditions, a little dirt along the journey is nothing out of the ordinary. Open trailers are cost-effective without compromising reliability.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Ship your precious classic, exotic, luxury car, or motorcycles with enclosed transport. This option ensures that your vehicle receives top-notch protection throughout its journey. This shipping method is ideal for vehicles with low ground clearance, as specialized equipment like hydraulic lift gates and ramps can be used to safely load them onto the truck. With enclosed transport, you’ll know your prized possession is shielded from the majority of weather and road hazards.

Florida car shipping FAQs

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, Montway has its own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker’s policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.

A simple way to save money is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route and avoiding seasonal demand.

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading.

Montway ships all standard types of vehicles such as coupes, sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, minivans, and regular cargo and passenger vans. We can even arrange transport for EVs, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, golf carts, jet skis and other vehicle types.

Yes! Even if your car, truck, van or other vehicle is inoperable, we are still able to transport it. Be sure to indicate this when booking your shipment, since specialized equipment will need to be used to load and unload it on and off the truck. If your inoperable vehicle is not able to roll, break and steer it will require added equipment and work, which will be an additional expense.

With Montway’s door-to-door service, you can have your car picked up anywhere in the U.S. and dropped off at your home address in Florida. Keep in mind that local streets may need to accommodate a car carrier trailer that can be up to 80 feet in length and weigh 80 tons. Your driver will work with you to find a safe meeting place near your home if your location isn’t legally or physically accessible.

With Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase or a bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs.
