Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.
Professional service and reasonable price considering they had to winch my car on the trailer.
I'm really happy with the service!!! Fili is a really nice person and a professional.

Florida doesn’t ask a wintering car to give up its Pennsylvania plates, so the car keeps running on Pennsylvania’s calendar while it’s away. That calendar has two dates on it, the inspection sticker and the registration, and either can fall during a Florida winter. The sticker is the one to think about before the car ships. Pennsylvania inspects a car once a year and Florida never inspects one, so nothing in Florida renews it. A car moving south for good is out of all this once it’s registered in Florida.
Pennsylvania lets a car that’s been away 30 days or more return on an expired sticker, with 10 days to get inspected. The emissions sticker, in the parts of the state that test, works the same way.
So a sticker due in January or February doesn’t need an inspection squeezed in before the truck comes, and the car doesn’t need to come home early for one. It can sit in Florida past the date, and the 10 days start when it crosses back into Pennsylvania. The 30 days away have to be continuous, which a winter is.
Registration is the other date that can fall while you’re away. PennDOT renews it online or by mail in most cases, so that one doesn’t depend on being in the state.
If the move makes you a Florida resident, these are the state's rules for the car.

Open transport from Pennsylvania to Florida runs $1,100 to $1,600. Philadelphia to Miami comes to $1,100 to $1,350, and the Gulf coast costs more than the Atlantic side, so Philadelphia to Sarasota runs $1,300 to $1,550 although it's about 100 miles shorter.
Most cars take 3 to 5 days between pickup in Pennsylvania and delivery in Florida. Philadelphia to Orlando, just under 1,000 miles, can take as little as 3 to 4, and Philadelphia to Miami, about 1,200, is the longest of these runs.
Wash the car so its condition is easy to record, photograph it from each corner, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Take out anything above the 100 pound personal item allowance, and take your toll transponder such as FasTrak, E-ZPass or SunPass off the windshield, because toll gantries can read it while the car rides the truck. Have a working key ready for the driver.
One to two weeks ahead is enough on most routes. Busy corridors handle shorter notice, and quieter lanes benefit from the full two weeks. Booking earlier does not lower the price; it settles your dates sooner, and the price holds for 28 days either way.
If you find damage at delivery, note it on the bill of lading before signing. We will manage the claim with the carrier from there.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
To ship a car, request a quote with your origin, destination, and vehicle details. Sequoia matches you with a driver according to your pickup window, the driver picks up your vehicle, and delivers it at your destination.
