How does scheduling work when shipping my car to and from Florida
Intercity Lines schedules snowbird vehicle transport to and from Florida on a weekly basis. We do not take a deposit, so we just ask that you fill out our shipping request form and let us know what week you would like your car picked up. Our pick up schedules typically run from Sunday to that following Sunday and transit time is typically 3-5 days from when the vehicle was picked up. This schedule is not guaranteed due to the many variables we encounter, but we do everything we can to stay within that 7 day pick up window. We do tend to book up at least a month ahead, so always be sure to get your vehicle scheduled as soon as you can!
Can I pack my vehicle before shipping my car?
Many snowbirds ask if they can pack their vehicles before they are transported to or from their 2nd home. Most companies do not allow you to pack extra items in the vehicle due to liability and federal weight regulations all carriers must follow. Intercity Lines does allow you to pack up to 100 lbs of items in your vehicle. Typically 2 full suitcases will meet the 100lb limit. If the driver arrives and feels that the additional items weight significantly more than 100lbs we will be forced to apply a $250 packing fee to your order unless the items are unpacked. We do not take responsibility for these items, so please ensure they are well packed and secured in the vehicle being transported. We ask that these items are not placed in either of the front seats or in a place where they will obstruct the driver’s view out of any of the windows.
Ship your Car to Florida with Intercity Lines
Intercity Lines is a family-owned, small business who takes pride in providing the highest level of quality and customer service in interstate auto transport. We equip our professional drivers with fully-enclosed trailers that feature hydraulic lift gates to ensure safe transport of your vehicle to and from Florida. We treat each car we ship as if it was our own and each vehicle receives the white glove treatment, including seat covers, a cloth, and plastic cover to protect the exterior of the car while in transport. Our customers also do a detailed inspection at pickup and delivery, so you know your car safely arrived in the same condition we picked it up in. Our experienced drivers are courteous, customer oriented and strive to keep the customer up-to-date throughout the process of shipping your vehicle. One of our most popular routes for “snowbirds” to ship their cars is from New England to Florida and vice versa. We run multiple trucks each week from New England to Florida during peak migrant season which allows our customers to reserve a specific week to have their car shipped confidently.
