Common Questions
Dallas to Tampa FAQ

Everything you need to know about shipping your car on this route.

Is my car insured during transport?+
Yes. All vehicles are fully covered by carrier cargo insurance from pickup to delivery. We are FMCSA-licensed and fully bonded. You’ll receive complete documentation before your vehicle is loaded.
Do you pick up from the entire DFW metroplex?+
Yes — we pick up from all DFW metroplex addresses including Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Arlington, Garland, McKinney, Mesquite, and surrounding areas. No extra charge for suburban pickup within the metroplex.
What areas in Tampa Bay do you deliver to?+
We deliver throughout the Tampa Bay area including South Tampa, Westshore, Channelside, Brandon, Riverview, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Wesley Chapel, and surrounding Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.
Is this a common snowbird route?+
Yes — Dallas/Fort Worth to Tampa Bay is a steady snowbird corridor, peaking October through April. We handle seasonal round-trips regularly and can book both directions at once or separately depending on your schedule.
Should I choose open or enclosed transport?+
Open transport is safe, fully insured, and cost-effective for most vehicles. Enclosed is recommended for luxury, classic, or exotic vehicles — and worth considering on a 1,100-mile route where road debris exposure adds up. For standard daily drivers, open transport is perfectly fine.
How do I prepare my car for shipping?+
Remove all personal belongings, keep the fuel tank at a quarter full or less, disable any car alarms, and document existing scratches or dents with photos. For a 3–5 day transit, also ensure your battery is in good shape. The driver will conduct a full inspection at pickup and note any pre-existing damage on the Bill of Lading.
