Planning a Orlando to Chicago shipment
For Orlando-to-Chicago shipping, distinguish the Florida vehicle-ready date from the owner’s travel day. Confirm the Chicago neighborhood or suburb, building access and a person who can inspect the car upon arrival.
Vehicle pickup in Orlando
For Orlando pickup, specify whether the vehicle is at a residence, dealer, storage facility or another location. A general reference to the tourist area is not enough for dispatch. Confirm release hours and who can hand over keys, particularly if the owner is flying out.
Receiving your car in Chicago
For Chicago delivery, separate the city address from a suburban destination. Share building entry rules, garage access and any limitations on the approach. Plan an accessible unloading location and a receiving person who can inspect the vehicle before completing the handover.
What determines your Orlando to Chicago quote?
Send both exact ZIP codes, the vehicle year, make and model, whether it runs, and your first available pickup date. Include modifications, oversized tires or low ground clearance. Tell us if either handover is at a dealer, auction or storage facility. These details help our team review equipment, access and carrier availability for your request.
Request a written quote with the included services and payment terms. An estimate for a different city pair or the reverse direction may not apply to your shipment. See the car shipping cost guide for the information to prepare.
Choosing open or enclosed transport
Open car transport is an option for many everyday cars, SUVs and pickups. Enclosed auto transport uses a covered trailer and may suit a classic, luxury or specialty vehicle. Tell the coordinator about clearance and loading needs before selecting equipment. Ask about the assigned carrier’s insurance terms and inspection process before booking.
Pickup dates, delivery estimates and preparation
Ask for the pickup window and the estimated transit time after collection as separate parts of the plan. Carrier availability, other loading stops, weather and property access can affect timing. Share any flight, work or move-in deadline before booking so the team can review the constraint.
- Confirm the release person in Orlando and receiving contact in Chicago, with working phone numbers.
- Photograph the vehicle and record existing damage at pickup.
- Prepare keys and disclose starting, rolling, steering or braking problems.
- Remove valuables and confirm the carrier’s personal-belongings and fuel requirements.
- Inspect the vehicle at delivery against the pickup condition report before completing the paperwork.
Orlando to Chicago shipping questions
Can you collect and deliver at the addresses I provide?
Send both addresses for review. Door-to-door arrangements depend on safe, legal truck access. If either entrance is unsuitable, agree on an accessible nearby meeting point with the carrier. A garage, gate or building rule should be discussed before the handover.
Can I travel separately from my vehicle?
Yes. Arrange an authorized release person in Orlando and a receiving person in Chicago. Each contact needs access, availability and instructions for the condition inspection. Tell the coordinator if the owner will be unavailable while travelling.
Can I ship a non-running car or more than one vehicle?
Include every vehicle in the request and describe each one’s condition. For a non-running car, explain whether it rolls, steers and brakes and where it is parked. Loading equipment and available capacity must be reviewed before a pickup is confirmed.
