I recently relocated to Florida, and I can tell you, it was quite a hectic time. There were tons of things going on at that point, and I knew that I had to find a way to get my cars from my location to my destination. I was so glad when a good friend of mine told me about a Florida car shipping company that they had used when they moved. I gave the company a call, and was very happy with the results.

State Specific

While there are many choices out there for vehicle transport, I used a Florida car shipping company for my move to this state. Each state has a multitude of companies that offer this service, so each individual will have to make the choice for themselves as to which company they use. I was able to get my cars ready for transport after choosing a company. Since these are show cars, they needed some of the best protection. The company gave me information on car transport and the state of Florida, which explained to me that the salty Florida air can often have an adverse effect on vehicle paint. Many cars in the state of Florida suffer from paint that is faded or starts to turn different colors. Because the company told me this ahead of time, I was able to get my cars special covers that would protect them along the trip.

The sun was one element that I worried about regarding my car; the UV rays were harmful and could ruin the paint job as well as the inside of the car. I learned that the rays in the state are stronger than what I am used to, so I should protect my car in one of two ways. Special shades block out the suns harmful rays, which is another thing I learned in this process. I could opt for tinting as well, which is something that I was told should be pursued once in the state to further protect the cars.

Knowledgeable

The Florida car shipping company that I worked with was able to provide me with lots of helpful information. Any good car transport company should always uphold this idea. The overall experience taught me many different things. One of the most important to me was the legal side of things. Vehicle laws are vary in New York from anywhere else, especially when you think of insurance requirements. It seems, according to what I was told, that people are able to damage another's property and get away with it under the Florida no fault laws. I learned about these things as well as finding out ways that I might be able to protect myself, including stocking up on the uninsured motorist coverage.

Helpful

A Florida car shipping company will always fall under Florida laws because that is their home state. They should provide a consumer with copies of everything they need to know, including any rights and responsibilities. They should answer all of a consumer's questions, even the ones that were totally off topic. Florida is vastly different from the New York that I was used to, but thanks to Florida car shipping, my cars and I made it to my new home in one piece.
