Read About Our Customer Experiences
I found PAL through their relationship with Cars & Bids. Trying to get quotes for shipping a vehicle is a nightmare with calls from shady companies offering cut rate deals to ship but providing no information on insurance, reliability, background, etc. The incessant emails and texts become overwhelming.PAL was courteous when I called, and the person I first dealt with Johnathan, gave me a quote over the phone followed up by an email and his cell phone to reach him directly when I was ready to ship. Once I confirmed he handed me over to the sales and logistics team. I worked with Iris throughout the process. She was friendly, answering all my questions and ensuring me they would be in contact throughout the process. True to her word, she procured the hauling company, made sure the drive checked out and provide me with all of the details for the shipment. I was informed of shipment 1.5 days after my initial enquiry and had my vehicle 2 days later. Throughout the process Iris and team did keep me informed and contacted the hauler to make sure they were on schedule. This was a great experience and would definitely recommend PAL!
It can be intimidating buying a car out of state, and when it comes to shipping your vehicle, coordinating logistics can just add to your stress. I have to share what an amazing experience I had working with Wes at Preowned Auto Logistics. From the initial call, coordinating and scheduling, to ongoing status updates, to regular communications with the driver to keep us informed - the seemless and professional service was nothing short of amazing. Very impressed!
Donna & PAL went above and beyond to ensure that every one of my concerns were promptly addressed. Donna went out of her way to ensure I was kept in the loop throughout the entire process right up until the car was delivered to me. I highly recommend anyone who is in need of auto logistics to reach out to them for their help. They are very well priced and the customer service is 10/10. Thanks again Donna!
I had an excellent experience with PAL. Derek was a fast and clear communicator who made sure I had all the information I needed each step of the way. He was also happy to answer any questions I had. This is the second vehicle I’ve had shipped and my experience with PAL was substantially better than the first. My vehicle also arrived so quickly I never even had the chance to stress about it.
Im in Arizona ordered a vehicle through pre owned auto logistics for a vehicle all the way out in Maryland. In the beginning I had some trouble communicating with the driver but once I got connected to Tim Stanton everything went absolutely smooth he really went out of his way to make sure I was taken care of. To prove it further My car ended up coming with minor damage on the passenger side door and instantly Tim started taking care of everything by being really communicative and helpful. It took me almost 2 months to take the car to the body shop due to my busy work schedule and even then Tim was patient and always willing to help me out. So I will always appreciate them for taking care of me and I would 100% do business with pre owned auto logistics, but if you can get in contact with Tim Stanton do it.
Great experience shipping my VW e-Golf from a seller in the northwest to New Mexico. PAL's Tim Stanton was very helpful setting up the transaction and has always been quick to respond to my questions about the shipment. Although it was not easy to find a driver to make this trip (in fact, the one he lined up at first unfortunately became unavailable due to an accident), Tim went the extra mile to find one that would get us the vehicle. We needed to get it delivered before going out of town, and Tim delivered on his promise to make it happen.
Our experience was stress free and straightforward, I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Max and the driver were communicative and clear about the process and progress of the shipment of our car. An excellent experience. Worth every penny and we would use again!
Top notch company. After getting quotes and then harassed by multiple companies I did some research and found a lot of scammers. I found PAL and i felt comfortable working with them after one simple conversation. They made the process easy and worry free.I worked with Paul. If you need a vehicle shipped USE THIS COMPANY!! Mike F
Owner of Central City Inc. This review with 5 starts does not give justice to the exceptionalism and professional attitude of Meagan!! By far she is always on top, solves my problems in hours not days, in most cases minutes! I would be lost with out her. We are building something fantastic. A quote she will use. “Team work makes the dream work”You have made me a loyal carrier to you and your company. Looking forward to what our future unveils.
Nick Napolitano is always a pleasure to work with .He is always working even while on vacation to make sure his customers are happy . I used him to ship vehicles around to my clients and he is always there to help.Highly recommended.
We are a dealer who has been moving units with Preowned for the last two years since we opened. The service is prompt and professional. Would highly recommend for all of your transportation needs.
I highly recommend this business for all your transport needs! I was very impressed with their professionalism and customer service. Their staff is not only friendly but also highly skilled.Pricing is fair and transparent - definitely value for money.
This has been the easiest broker I've had the pleasure of working with. Their staff is very informative and gets loads to us in a timely manner. Payment process is very easy. I would highly recommend working with this broker as they do set a standard for the industry.
Excellent customer service experience. The team is professional and communicative. Highly recommend for reliable auto transport.
Triple S Mobility has been working with PreOwned for several years now transporting different types of handicapped accessible vans all over the country! Pleasure to work with and is very prompt returning transport quotes!! I highly recommend Preowned Auto Logistics!!
I’ve been using Preowned Auto Logistics for several years now to transport vehicles from Florida, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their service. They are consistently accommodating, helpful, and professional in every interaction.Whether it’s coordinating pickup and delivery or addressing any questions along the way, their team goes above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. It’s clear they care about their customers and take pride in what they do.
Andrew worked to secure a carrier for us across country , when winter weather was a deterrent. Donna followed our transport and kept us informed.
Andrew Freedman has been fantastic to work with! This has been my second vehicle that I have transported with Andrew for my clients. He's attentive, picks up the phone and is prompt with getting back to me. I can't wait to use him again!
I cannot sing enough praises for this company which got my car back to me in Charlotte, NC after it broke down in the middle of a road trip in Massachusetts. Tim Stanton was my first contact and kept me informed every step of the way. The driver also subsequently kept me apprised of his progress during his (and my car’s) trip back to NC. If Tim’s professionalism and service is representative of this entire company, it is most definitely a 5 star operation!
They helped me transport a car about 500 miles a couple months ago. Everything went well. Good pricing. Good communication. Good timing, especially around a holiday weekend. Would recommend to others.
Mike was great in facilitating all parts of the transport of my car from boston to Florida and back again. I have used this company before and appreciate their attention to keeping me in the loop on arrival and pick up so I do not need to wait around. Mike was awesome and he was always helpful in answering all question. GREAT JOB!!!
We moved two cars from New York to Colorado. We were extremely pleased with the professionalism and efficiency of the staff at all levels. Cars were delivered safely and on time. Highly recommend.
Exceptional service. Handled my vehicles with care throughout the whole trip. Highly recommend if you are looking to move your cars. Great freaking job Preowned Auto Logistics. Will use you again.
Michael and his crew were great to work with. They were able to pickup my new purchased car, and delivered to me days later. The trucking company that was dispatched from Pre-owned Auto Logistics handled the car with kit gloves as well. I highly recommend Micheal, you will not be disappointed.!
I had an amazing experience with Preowned Auto Logistics. My car was transported in two days from Florida to Massachusetts. I cannot speak highly enough of Mike whose customer service was outstanding. Also the driver was most courteous and kept me informed from pickup to delivery. I was so pleased with the service I received from this business. They went above and beyond.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Chris to ship my car from Tennessee to Philadelphia, and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From start to finish, Chris was an absolute professional, demonstrating an unparalleled level of attentiveness, responsiveness, and patience.What truly set Chris apart was his dedication to ensuring that every one of my questions was addressed promptly and thoroughly. His commitment to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about providing the best possible experience for his clients.Choosing Chris to handle my shipment was one of the best decisions I made, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of reliable transportation logistics. His exemplary performance is a testament to his expertise and dedication, and I encourage his team to recognize and value his contributions accordingly.In summary, Chris is a true asset to his company, and I am grateful for the exceptional service he provided. Thank you, Chris, for your professionalism, attention to detail, and unwavering focus on client satisfaction. You are truly a keeper, and I wish you continued success in your career. Well done indeed!
I have a very patient transport advisor Chris Delloiacono . He helped me find a good driver and picked a sunny day schedule. My car took good care. Thanks.
Excellent communication and service. My car was transported from Peabody Ma to Fort Myers airport in 2 days, much quicker than expected during Christmas. The car was waiting for us at the airport in long term parking making it extremely easy to travel. I highly recommend Preowned Auto for your transportation needs.
We are snowbirds and have used many car carrier companies. Preowned Auto Logistics is, by far, the very best. The initial dealings with the office staff to work out the details was extremely easy. I immediately felt that we were in good hands. Our vehicle being transported was brand new with less than 200 miles driven, so we were a bit concerned having it transported rather than driving ourselves. We were so pleasantly surprised with the care taken by Preowned Auto Logistics. The car was delivered directly to our front door and sooner than expected. We were contacted first by the dispatcher and told that the driver would be calling us within the hour which he did. The driver kept us informed the whole time. When he arrived, he could not have been more courteous and professional. A special shout out to Anita and Jeff. Thank you! I would highly recommend this company.
I recently used Preowned Auto Logistics to transport my car across the country, and I couldn't be more impressed. Their efficiency was outstanding – my vehicle arrived in just four days, right on schedule. The entire process was seamless, from booking to delivery. I highly recommend Preowned Auto Logistics to anyone in need of reliable and swift vehicle transportation services. Their professionalism and timely service make them a top choice in the industry.
Michael was communicative and professional throughout the process. He got my card picked up and delivered within the span of 3 days and was the most affordable option i found. Highly recommend!
Couldn't have had better service. Professional, fast, reasonable prices, and quick delivery. Came faster than we had expected and was in perfect condition. Ralph stayed in touch, updating us every step of the way. The driver was very professional as well and gave us peace of mind on our new car being transported. They made it easy!!!
THANK YOU RALPH!!!! Triple S Mobility has been working with Ralph for several years now transporting different types of handicapped accessible vans all over the country! He is a pleasure to work with and is also very prompt returning transport quotes!! I highly recommend Preowned Auto Logistics!!
I’ve been in the car business for a long time, and transportation is always a challenging part of the equation. Preowned Auto Logistics really has their act together, unlike countless other fly-by-night brokers. I could tell you a lot of horror stories relating to brokers who take your money and never answer the phone again, as well as truckers who don’t have proper equipment, fake insurance, or worse, steal the cars after they pick them up. PAL is legitimate, has market correct pricing, and even more importantly, they seem to really vet out the transporters they rely on, and that is critical to ensuring a great customer experience. I had them move a Range Rover and BMW so far from FL to OH, and have also recommended them to several friends. We have all been very pleased with the communication and service we received. Keep up the great work.
Mike was great to work with. Very patient answering all of my questions, being the first time I’ve shipped a car to Florida. Car was safely transported. Will do it again next year.
Jeff was very helpful and always responded timely to any requests I had. Our car was shipped and received promptly! Highly recommend!
There's a reason why they have so much business - they know how to run one!!! Always evolving & improving. We appreciate your business and are proud to work together. Shoutout to Austin in particular for being an exceptional employee!!!!
Transportation of my vehicle went really well. They kept me updated through the whole process. I chose an enclosed trailer for my car for protection transporting halfway across the country. The only complaint I have is I believe there might have been a bad connection for the “dome” lights inside the trailer, but easily overcame with a good flash light to help with unloading of the car.
Great experience with this company. We had to move 2 cars from MA to FL and they arrived in perfect condition ahead of schedule. Michael was a pleasure to speak with and he is highly knowledgeable and super helpful whenever we had questions. Overall, a positive experience and I would highly recommend!
This was my first experience shipping my car to Florida and you made me very relaxed and answered all my questions and concerns.. Thanks Jeff for the follow up call as well..I would highly recommend this company hands down!!!
These guys are awesome.....Mike B worked with me after hours (until 8pm) to ensure my car was delivered with zero hitches. He went above and beyond. Best part is car was delivered earlier than originally planned. I cant say enough about these guys - I Highly Recommend!!
Great service--Jeff Sartori gave us an accurate quote and, unlike other companies, there were no extra charges. The car arrived on time and in good shape. I would highly recommend them for auto transport!
In life, there's historically been 2 things you can count on...death and taxes. Well, now there's a 3rd one: Jeff Sartori.I just had my 2007 Toyota 4Runner shipped from Maryland to St. Pete Beach, Florida. Although there were issues, the one positive constant through it all was Jeff.The first carrier that took the shipment had a mechanical breakdown and never picked up the vehicle. The second carrier picked the vehicle on the scheduled day and delivered the vehicle the next day but my self imposed schedule didn't permit me to receive the vehicle. I had a friend receive it.Even with other issues behind the scenes, Jeff was always there--whether by email, phone or text. I won't have the need to ship another vehicle in my life, but I'm glad the only time I did was with Pre Owned Auto Logistics and Jeff Sartori.If I could give 6 stars I would. Thanks Jeff.
Fabulous, professional experience. Car arrived in great shape and earlier than anticipated. Will gladly work with Jeff and team next time an opportunity presents itself.
From start to finish, dry professional. I loved that they came to my house and picked up my car. The delivery driver took good care of my car, arrived in perfect condition. Couldn’t be happier!
Jeff was prompt, friendly, and supportive throughout the process. Purchased a car on Cars&Bids and this is the company recommended by Doug Demuro and his team. It's a seamless experience and competitive pricing. Car arrived on-time without any issues, highly recommend!
Jeff at Preowned is AMAZING. He kept me up to date with the details of my vehicle coming from Florida. Can’t say enough about him. Even though there were a couple of delays I still got my car in a timely manner and was informed of everything. A true professional
Mike was terrific to work with. He gave us precise transport information and kept us informed. We met people in Florida that needed help with a transport to Michigan due to a medical issue. I referred Mike and he took care of everything…actually car directly to their home. Highly recommend.
I just want to thank my fellow Italian agent Mike B. at PAL! My new car left fromBuffalo NY on a Tuesday evening and got delivered in Fort Pierce FL on Thursday morning! I was concerned because the car was lowered and I didn’t want any underbody damages and he worked with me to make sure the transporter took good care of my car! Great, fast and friendly service and customer support! Highly recommend!
Outstanding! We called at the last minute (the day before leaving for Florida) and Mike was very receptive. We left on a Wednesday. Our cars were picked up on Wednesday and Mike attempted to find a truck/driver to bring our cars. They were picked up on a Saturday morning and surpisingly delivered (Monday)late morning. Their service and devotion to assist the customer was fantastic! Very, very pleased!!!
I am so glad I picked this company to transport my M6 that was 2600 miles away. Kerri is the best at what she does. She assured me that she would personally notify me in every step of this process, and she delivered. I cannot thank her and this company enough for everything they said they would do. In fact, I was told it would arrive at a specific time, and it came one minute early. Thank you so much Kerri for making me feel like I was your only customer..
I used PAL to ship a car from CA to NC. It was my first time shipping a car and I didn't know what to expect. But Jeff was in touch and talked me through the process. He answered tons of questions for me and made the whole process very easy. I would definitely use them again the next time I have to ship a car. And I will recommend PAL to anyone looking for a worry free shipment of their cars.
Colby Harlow and his team are the most professional and quickest transport company I have had experience working with. We are a family-owned MB and Volvo dealership in South Carolina and I trust Colby and Pre-Owned Auto Logistics with any shipment for us and our customer's needs. Highly Recommend!
I recently bought a car from a dealership in Tampa Florida. Everything went well, until it came time for shipping. The dealership decided to use the uconnect app as the only way for me to track my car. Unfortunately, the signal was lost during transport and when I asked the salesman he said he did not know where my car was, or when it would arrive, not the answer you want to receive. He eventually gave me Mr. Harlow's contact, Colby was not only professional but kind and understanding. He told me where my car was, gave me an anticipated date and offered to have the driver call me asap. Everyone has a job to do, but it's rare to find excellent customer service provided in such a pleasant manner. My car arrived when anticipated, in great condition, with smiles from the transport team whom had been driving all day. Thank you Preowned Auto Logistics, Mr. Colby Harlow, and Tito, I am one happy customer.
This is second time using Preowned Auto Logistics and I could not be any happier. Kerri was so professional and helpful. My daughter's car made it to Florida quickly and without a scratch. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a car transport.
I love this company! I would absolutely recommend them to anyoneCustomer service is through the roof!They are amazing!
I took a new job that moved me and my family from Massachusetts to Texas. I used Preowned Auto Logistics to move my car in mid May and my wife and son's car in early June. The services was exceptional. Everything from the booking experience to the delivery of the cars was top notch. I would highly recommend using Preowned Auto Logistics for your future needs. Kevin Lombardi was the representative that I worked with and he was nothing but professional and accommodating.
I worked with George most of the times when we had to deal about transporting a vehicle and he is very much on top of everything. Smart guy and he thinks and act fast, really competent in what he does.Thank you George .Working with you is a pleasure.
Kerri is amazing to work with, very professional and it was a very good experience! I 100% recommend pre-owned Auto logistics and definitely to work with Kerri! I would give 10 Stars if it allowed me! Thank you 😁 you're The BEST!
I have shipped our cars from MA to CA and have used Preowned Auto Logistics and they have "delivered" in all ways. Cars were picked up and delivered in time noted and all done with professionalism. Kerri Harris and her team handled our reservations without any issues and the followup was nothing but perfect professionalism. I would highly recommend Preowned Auto Logistics.
This is the one company you want to book loads with! Guarantee! Professional people only, but if you happened to be attended by George (I call him "Mr. Barry White" - If you talk to him you'll know...), ohh man, he is the man! Super Nice Guy!!! Your pay is guaranteed in 2-3 business days...
Best customer service ever. Very professional team. They are all willing to help you all the time.
Why Ship Your Car from California to Florida?
Are you planning a move or vehicle relocation across the country? Shipping your car from California to Florida with Preowned Auto Logistics offers a smarter, safer alternative to driving yourself.

Driving approximately 2,700 miles from California to Florida can take 40+ hours behind the wheel—not to mention the stress of planning the route, dealing with traffic, and facing unpredictable weather. With our cross-country car shipping service, you can skip the road trip and focus on settling into your new location, while we handle the logistics.
Cut Costs
Long-distance drives come with hidden expenses—think gas, hotel stays, meals, tolls, and even time off work. Our vehicle transport services are often more cost-effective than a DIY drive, especially when you factor in wear and tear on your car and the value of your time.

Use our coast-to-coast auto transport and you reduce unnecessary mileage and protect your investment with professional, insured carriers who know how to transport vehicles safely and efficiently.
Comparing Costs: Driving vs. Shipping
Are you thinking about driving your vehicle from California to Florida? It may seem like the obvious choice—until you look at the whole picture. Let’s break it down:
Distance: ~2,700 miles | Drive Time: 40+ hours
That’s nearly two full days behind the wheel—not including stops for gas, rest, or overnight stays. Traffic, weather delays, and fatigue make the journey exhausting and unpredictable.
Gas, Hotels, Food, & Wear: $1,300+ estimated expenses
Between fluctuating fuel prices, multiple nights in hotels, meals on the road, tolls, and added wear and tear on your vehicle, the costs of a cross-country drive can skyrocket—not to mention the value of the time you’ll spend away from work or home responsibilities.

Open vs. Enclosed Car Shipping – Which Option is Right for You?
When you ship your car from California to Florida, one of the most critical choices is the carrier type to use. The option you select can impact your budget, delivery time, and the level of protection your vehicle receives. Here’s what you need to know:
Open Carrier Transport
Open carrier shipping is the most widely used method of vehicle transport across the US. Your car is loaded onto a multi-level trailer, usually alongside 7 to 10 other vehicles. This option is budget-friendly, readily available, and perfect for standard cars, trucks, and SUVs. It’s also the fastest to schedule, making it ideal for customers prioritizing efficiency in their cross-country car shipping plans.
Enclosed Carrier Transport
If you’re transporting a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic model, or high-value automobile, enclosed shipping offers the ultimate peace of mind. Your vehicle is placed inside a fully covered trailer, shielding it from road debris, weather, and other external elements during coast-to-coast auto transport. While this option typically costs more than open shipping, it delivers the highest level of protection, which is perfect for vehicles that deserve extra care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked QuestionsDo I need to be present for pickup or delivery?
Yes, either you or a designated representative must be present to sign paperwork and inspect the vehicle.
What documents are required?
We typically need the vehicle title or registration and a valid photo ID. We’ll handle the Bill of Lading and transport paperwork.
Can I put items in the car during shipping?
We recommend shipping your car empty. Some carriers may allow up to 100 lbs of personal items, but it must be approved in advance.
What if my delivery gets delayed?
Delays are rare, but we’ll keep you informed with real-time updates and adjusted timelines if they occur due to weather or traffic.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes, every shipment includes insurance coverage to protect your vehicle from pick-up to delivery.
