Car Shipping in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale door-to-door auto transport — heavy I-95 capacity, condo and gated-community access handled up front, and enclosed service for high-value cars.

Fort Lauderdale sits on the busiest auto transport corridor in the country. I-95 carries constant carrier traffic between the Northeast and South Florida, which keeps both pickup windows and pricing competitive here compared with inland markets. Northeast lanes into Broward County are among the highest-volume runs we arrange.

The complication in Broward is access, not capacity. Las Olas, Victoria Park, the beach condo towers and much of the Intracoastal side have parking garages with clearance bars, narrow one-way streets and no legal place for a 75-foot trailer to stop. Weston, Parkland, Coral Springs and Plantation are usually fine at the gate or a nearby lot. We settle the staging point before dispatch so the driver is not circling a block with your car aboard.

There is also a real seasonal rhythm. Vehicles arrive from the Northeast from October through December and head back from March through May, alongside year-round moves tied to Port Everglades, the cruise terminals, and vehicles bought or sold online across state lines.

Fort Lauderdale pickup and delivery

Our drivers know Fort Lauderdale traffic patterns, restricted streets and where a 75-foot carrier can legally stage. When your address cannot accommodate the truck, the driver arranges a nearby shopping center or wide lot — typically a few minutes away — and you complete the inspection there.

Pickup windows on Fort Lauderdale lanes are generally one to three days for standard service. Expedited dispatch can often secure a truck within 24 hours when a closing date, start date or auction deadline is driving the schedule.

Both open and enclosed equipment run this market. Open transport is the practical choice for daily drivers and late-model vehicles; enclosed is the right call for exotics, classics and anything freshly restored or extremely low to the ground.

Included on every Fort Lauderdale transport

  • Door-to-door service at no extra cost
  • Full-size semi carriers — no dollies or small trailers
  • $250,000 cargo coverage on open carriers
  • up to $2,000,000 cargo coverage on enclosed carriers
  • Soft-tie wheel straps, never chains
  • Photo condition reports at pickup and delivery

Not sure which type of carrier you need?

Don't worry. You don't have to know whether your vehicle belongs on an open carrier, an enclosed trailer, a winch-equipped truck or specialized equipment. Just tell us what you're shipping, its condition, where it's going and when you need it moved. We'll review the shipment and determine what type of transportation is appropriate.

Please note: Anything that rolls on its own wheels must be roadworthy before pickup. The customer is responsible for repairs — tires, bearings, brakes, lights — and for towing and repair costs if the unit becomes disabled in transit.

FAQ

Fort Lauderdale car shipping questions

Can a carrier deliver to a Fort Lauderdale beach condo?
Not into the garage. Clearance bars, ramp angles and one-way beach streets rule out a transport trailer. The driver stages at a nearby lot — commonly off US-1 or Federal Highway — and the inspection and handover happen there.
How long does New York to Fort Lauderdale take?
Roughly 1,300 miles, typically three to five days in transit once the carrier loads, plus a one to three day pickup window. It is a high-frequency lane, so trucks are usually available quickly.
Do you ship vehicles to and from Port Everglades?
Yes. Cruise-related and port-adjacent moves are routine here. Give us the sailing or arrival date and we build the pickup window around it, with margin so a single traffic day does not put the vehicle behind schedule.
Is enclosed transport worth it in South Florida?
For exotics, classics, low-clearance cars and anything freshly painted, yes — salt air, I-95 road debris and summer storms all argue for a sealed trailer. Everyday vehicles are normally fine on open carriers.
How much does car shipping cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Regional lanes into and out of Fort Lauderdale often run $400–$800, while long-distance moves typically fall between $900 and $1,800 open and $1,500 to $3,000 enclosed. We quote your specific route against live carrier availability.
How fast can you pick up in Fort Lauderdale?
Standard pickup windows are one to three days. Expedited service can frequently have a carrier at your address within 24 hours.
Do you deliver to Fort Lauderdale apartments and gated communities?
Yes. Tell us about gate policies or vendor pass requirements at booking and we coordinate with the property directly.
Can you ship a non-running vehicle?
Yes, with winch-equipped open carriers or lift-gate enclosed trailers depending on whether the vehicle rolls and steers.
