Do you offer door-to-door pickup in Uniondale and Nassau County?

How long does car shipping from Long Island to Florida take?

Transit time from Uniondale or anywhere on Long Island to Florida is 2–4 days once the carrier picks up the vehicle. The Long Island–Florida corridor (the I-95 South run) is one of the most heavily traveled in the country, so carrier assignment is typically fast — 2–4 business days.

What's the difference between open and enclosed transport?

Open transport is the standard option — your car rides on an open multi-car carrier along with 7–9 other vehicles. It's safe — we work exclusively with FMCSA-authorized carriers that maintain active cargo and liability insurance coverage — and the most cost-effective choice for everyday vehicles. Enclosed transport places your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer, providing protection from weather and road debris. It's recommended for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles and costs 40–50% more.

Is cargo insurance included in the price?

Yes. All carriers in our network are required to maintain active FMCSA cargo insurance. Your vehicle is covered from pickup in Uniondale to delivery at your destination. We recommend documenting your vehicle's condition with photos before the carrier arrives as an extra precaution.

Can EZ Auto Movers ship to any state from Uniondale?

Yes. We serve all 50 U.S. states from Uniondale and the broader Nassau County area. Whether you're shipping to Florida, California, Texas, Illinois, or any other state, we have carrier coverage nationwide. Hawaii and Alaska shipping is also available (involves additional logistics for ocean freight).

How far in advance should I book car shipping from Uniondale?

For most routes, booking 5–7 days in advance is sufficient. For high-demand periods — particularly the October–January snowbird season to Florida, and summer moving season (June–August) — we recommend booking 10–14 days ahead to secure the best pricing and scheduling. Last-minute bookings are possible but may cost more.

Pickup is always door-to-door at your specific address.

What should I do to prepare my car for shipping?

Before the carrier arrives: fill the gas tank to no more than 25%, remove all personal belongings from the interior (they're not covered by cargo insurance), disable any aftermarket alarms, retract or remove any external accessories (roof racks, antennas), and document the vehicle's condition with photos from all angles. Have your ID and the vehicle's title or registration available for the carrier inspection.
