Transport Your Car Across Country To or From Florida
So, what do you know about Florida? Florida is one of the only states where no dinosaur fossils have been found, due to the state being underwater during the entire Eocene “Age of Dinosaurs” . It’s also home to the US’s oldest city (St Augustine, founded in 1565), and features more golf courses than any other state, the world’s longest sidewalk (4.5 miles, in Tampa), more lightning strikes per year than any other state, and the longest coastline in the Continental US (over 1300 miles).
Florida is served by four Interstate highways and eight auxiliary Interstates, including I-4, I-10, I-75, I-95, I-110, I-175, I-275, I-375 and others (along with a comprehensive grid of state and US highways), making cross country auto transport to and from the state efficient and streamlined. If you’re thinking about a car shipping company in Florida, we’re glad you considered us here at SGT Auto Transport.

How to register your car in Florida
Registering your out-of-state car in Florida for the first time can seem a daunting task, but in reality it's a simple process that will take no more than 1 day and some previous preparation.
For new residents, the deadline for registering a car is within 10 days of establishing residency.
- All registration and prep-work, inspections of the vehicle, happen at your local Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV); documents can also be submitted at your local county tax collector’s office.
- Before submitting your document packet, you need to first get the vehicle inspected and have its VIN verified with a Form 82042 by a law enforcement officer - there are no mandatory emissions or safety inspections in the state of Florida.
- Once the preliminary work is done, you can go to the FLHSMV and submit the following documents - photo ID or proof of residence, bill of sale if the car is new, lienholder name and address if its financed, the title, current registration, a completed form for smog inspection 82042, an odometer inspection on the aforementioned form and proof of Florida insurance with a minimum amount of $10.000 PDL and $10.000 PIP.
- First-time registration fees for an out-of-state vehicle can range from $225; in addition, there are original title fees ranging from $77.25 and $85.25 depending on whether the car is new or used, plus an additional $28 license plate fee.
Due to the short registration window and the severe penalties that can amount to $100, along with additional law enforcement issues, we suggest avoiding delaying your registration process.

How long does vehicle transport to or from Florida take?
On average, you can expect car shipping to/from Florida to take 1-2 days for distances less than 200 miles. However, unforeseen events, such as storms or traffic surges may affect that timing.
For distances of more than 2,000 miles, auto shipping to Florida could take up to 9 days. The same note about potential unplanned delays persists with longer trips.
Rest assured, during that time your vehicle is secure with us. We’ll do everything we can to make sure your car’s transportation takes place without a hitch. It’s our charge to deliver service as efficiently, quickly, and safely as possible.
Several factors impact the timeframe for car transport to/from Florida. These factors include road construction, traffic, detours, weather conditions, seasonality, driver’s hours, and distance. If time is of the essence, we can expedite the service if you choose guaranteed pick-up or express auto transport.

Types of Vehicle Transportation Services we provide in Florida
We can customize every delivery around your vehicle and your needs, by offering several different auto logistics options:
Open car transport: affordable and efficient, this is the preferred method for most customers. Your car is loaded onto a double decker transport trailer along with several others, for more efficient routing; while it does leave the car exposed to weather and road grit, it’s by far the most cost-effective, budget-friendly way to go.
Enclosed car transport: if you’ve got a very rare, valuable or delicate car, it’s understandable that you might want an added layer of security and protection for its trip. Enclosed car transport would mean the car being loaded into a closed transport trailer, then locked in securely for its journey. Enclosed car transport is safer and more secure, but it does come at enhanced cost.
Guaranteed pickup service: no need to keep your whole afternoon open to wait for your transport driver; guaranteed pickup service is our assurance that your driver will be at your location to load your vehicle at a preset time and date.
Express auto delivery: there’s so much to get lined up for an auto logistics job, which is why we ask for a couple of weeks’ lead time, but we know that’s not always possible, which is why we offer expedited shipments as well (premium charges apply).
White glove delivery: this is the ultimate in care and enhanced handling, and is a good fit for very valuable supercars or Brass Age antiques. White glove delivery comes with regular check-ins and your desired level of monitoring and surveillance during transit.
Cross-country auto transport: logistics get expensive for very long distances, as cost/mile is a big part of the formula. With SGT Auto Transport, cost/mile actually starts to drop for runs of several hundred miles, making cross-country auto transport an excellent value.
Prepare Your Vehicle for a cross-country Auto Transportation to or from Florida
Here are a few tips to make sure that your vehicle pickup and shipment go smoothly and seamlessly:
Don’t forget that your transport driver will need a copy of the car’s ignition key.
Please remove any detachable external accessories like roof-mounted cargo boxes, bike racks or antennas.
It’s a good idea to give your car a wash job first. You’ll be asked to do a quick inspection (the driver will too for his Bill of Lading document), and a clean car makes it easier to spot any damage, scrapes or dings.
Please check your vehicle for any fluid leaks: coolant, motor oil, transmission, brake or power steering fluid.
Please remove any personal items; it’s acceptable, though, to ship as much as 100 lbs of personal property in the trunk or cargo area.
If your street is in a congested neighborhood that would be difficult (or even illegal) to access with a commercial transport truck, consider meeting up with your transport driver at an easier spot, such as an open parking lot.

Top 5 hints for transporting/moving to Florida
One of the reasons many people end up moving away from Florida is the weather. If you’re planning on making Florida your new home, be prepared for intense sun and extreme weather. Hurricanes are a common occurrence.
When looking for schools, one thing to check is whether the school has a bilingual education program. Florida has a large Hispanic population, so learning Spanish at a young age will be an asset.
If you want to become an official resident of Florida, there are several things you need to do. Sign up for a Florida driver’s license or identification card. Update your car insurance. You may also need to file your taxes in two different states if you’ve earned income in both places during the year.
Tourists love Florida and flock constantly. If you’re considering making it your home be prepared for an influx of tourists during the most popular times of the year.
Sinkholes are a risk in Florida and have been known to swallow up residents’ cars from time to time. There is no way to predict where and when a sinkhole will appear.
