Shipping Your Car to the Keys? Read This First
Moving your car to or from the Florida Keys isn’t like shipping anywhere else. With one road in and out, heavy seasonal traffic, and unpredictable weather, it pays to know what works (and what doesn’t). Here’s how to make your move smooth, safe, and stress-free—straight from a Keys specialist.
1. Book Early—Especially During Snowbird Season
- Demand spikes November–April
- Secure your preferred pickup dates by scheduling 2–3 weeks ahead
2. Choose a Direct Carrier (Not a Broker)
- Get firm pricing, real pickup dates, and direct communication
- Avoid “bait-and-switch” broker tactics
3. Ask About Local Experience
- Keys logistics are unique: 42 bridges, tight streets, and traffic jams
- Local carriers know the best timing and routes
4. Confirm Full Insurance Coverage
- $100,000+ per vehicle is standard for reputable carriers
- Ask for proof—don’t risk your ride
5. Prep Your Vehicle for the Journey
- Clean it, check fluids, remove valuables
- Take photos before pickup for peace of mind
6. Use Real-Time GPS Tracking
- Get updates and peace of mind during transit
- Direct carriers offer live tracking—brokers rarely do
7. Be Ready for Weather Delays
- Hurricanes and storms can impact schedules
- Choose a carrier who communicates proactively
