OPEN car shipping

Because of their safety and reliability, open trailers are the most common type of transport. It’s also an efficient and cost-effective option when you need Fort Lauderdale car shipping near you. With open transport, cars can be easily arranged and quickly loaded and unloaded. Vehicles are not protected from weather and road conditions so they may accumulate a bit of dirt during their journey.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed trailers are most often chosen for classic, exotic or luxury cars, as well as motorcycles and powersports. Vehicles with low ground clearance may also require an enclosed trailer, since they might need a hydraulic lift gate or ramp to be loaded and unloaded onto the trailer. Enclosed transport protects your car against weather and road hazards to provide peace of mind when shipping your prized possession.

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Fort Lauderdale

  • If you are moving to Fort Lauderdale from a state that doesn’t experience strong storms and hurricanes, it’s important to know how they affect roads and driving. Even without rain, the weakest hurricanes produce winds from 74 to 95 mph, so avoid driving in these conditions to keep yourself safe.
  • Your vehicle must have a valid registration to operate on Florida roads. You must register an out-of-state vehicle within 10 days of becoming employed, placing children in public school or establishing residency.
  • Fort Lauderdale has an initiative called Vision Zero Network that promotes roadway safety for all, including pedestrians, bikers and drivers.
  • When moving out of the state of Florida, don’t forget to cancel your SunPass account and remove the transponder from your vehicle’s windshield.

Remove any automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, try to leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading but not so much to start adding extra weight.
