Pickup & Delivery Instructions
Here's what to expect at each end of your shipment — no surprises.
Pickup in Orlando
- Your carrier calls 24–48 hrs before pickup to confirm the arrival window.
- Vehicle must be accessible at a location a car carrier truck can reach — avoid underground parking or low-clearance garages in Orlando.
- Remove all personal items from the vehicle — DOT regulations prohibit personal belongings during transport.
- Keep fuel at ¼ tank or less. Document existing damage with photos before the driver arrives.
- Review and sign the Bill of Lading carefully — this documents your vehicle's condition at pickup.
Delivery in Virginia Beach
- Your driver calls 24 hours before delivery with a confirmed arrival window.
- Delivery is door-to-door — the carrier will come to your Virginia Beach address. Be available or designate someone to receive the vehicle.
- Inspect your vehicle thoroughly BEFORE signing the delivery receipt. Note any transport damage on the Bill of Lading.
- Payment is collected at delivery — cash or certified check accepted. No hidden fees.
- Any damage claims must be filed within 24 hours of delivery and noted on the BoL at time of delivery.
How to Prepare Your Car for Shipping
A little prep before pickup avoids delays and protects your claim rights. Here's exactly what to do.
A clean car makes it easy to spot and document any existing scratches, dents, or paint chips before loading. Take photos from all angles.
DOT regulations prohibit transporting personal belongings inside your vehicle during auto transport. Empty the trunk, back seat, and glove box.
Carriers prefer a low fuel level to reduce weight on the trailer. Aim for ¼ tank maximum — enough to drive on/off the truck at delivery.
Turn off or disable your car alarm and remove/deactivate EZ-Pass or toll transponders to avoid charges during the 2–3 days transit.
Photograph every panel, wheel, and the undercarriage before the carrier arrives. This is your evidence baseline if a damage claim is ever needed.
Most carriers need to move your vehicle on and off the trailer. Leave one key with the driver and keep the spare for yourself at the destination.
Best time to ship from Orlando: Booking on weekdays and avoiding peak summer (June–August) and snowbird season (Oct–Jan) can save you 10–20%. Offering 2–3 days of pickup flexibility typically attracts stronger carrier bids and faster pickup.
Best Time to Ship on This Route
When you ship affects how much you pay and how fast a carrier arrives.
Late September and November — outside peak summer and snowbird demand — typically offer the lowest rates on this route. Booking on weekdays can also attract stronger carrier bids.
Summer is the busiest season for auto transport nationwide. Book 10–14 days ahead to secure preferred dates and competitive pricing.
