Why Nation Movers
Why people in Fort Lauderdale choose Nation Movers
We've built our reputation on showing up on time, sticking to the quote, and treating every household like it's the only one we're moving that day. Here's what that looks like for Fort Lauderdale customers.
Crews who actually know Fort Lauderdale
Our Fort Lauderdale dispatch desk has run thousands of moves into and out of Fort Lauderdale and the broader Broward County area. That means the crew arriving at your door already knows the parking quirks, elevator rules, HOA load-in windows, and the realistic drive-time to your destination — none of that gets billed to you as discovery time.
Licensed, insured, FMCSA-compliant
Nation Movers is a USDOT-licensed interstate carrier with full cargo and liability coverage. Released-value protection at $0.60 per pound per article is included by federal law on every Florida move; full-value protection is available for high-value households.
Transparent, line-itemized pricing
Every quote breaks out crew labor, line-haul (for long-distance), packing, materials, and any access fees so you know exactly what you're paying for. No surprise add-ons on move day. We honor binding tariffs and you'll never pay more than the upper bound on the agreed estimate.
What to expect locally
Car shipping in Fort Lauderdale— what's typical
- Typical timeline
- Most Fort Lauderdale car shipping jobs run 4–10 hours with a 2- or 3-person crew, depending on home size, stairs, and elevator wait times. Studio jobs frequently wrap inside 4 hours; a 3-bedroom house typically lands between 8 and 12.
- What's included
- Crew labor, fuel, dollies, blankets, shrink-wrap on furniture, mattress bags, and standard pads. Packing service, specialty crating (piano, art, safes), shuttle access, and storage-in-transit are billed as transparent line items only when they apply.
- Common access challenges
- In Fort Lauderdale we routinely handle long carries from the truck to the door, narrow stairwells, low-clearance parking decks, and HOA-mandated load-in windows. Tell us what you know up-front and we'll either build it into the quote or bring the right equipment so move day stays predictable.
Frequently asked
Car shipping in Fort Lauderdale — questions we hear most
- How much does car shipping cost in Fort Lauderdale?
- Car shipping in Fort Lauderdale is priced hourly with a 2- or 3-person crew. A 1-bedroom is typically $650–$1,250, a 2-bedroom $950–$1,800, and a 3-bedroom house $1,400–$2,600 — DIY packing assumed. Add ~25–35% for full-pack service.
- Are you licensed to move out of Florida?
- Yes. Nation Movers holds USDOT operating authority as an interstate household goods carrier, which is required by federal law to move households across state lines. Our license, MC number, and insurance certificates are available on request.
- How far in advance should I book?
- For Fort Lauderdale we recommend 2+ weeks for a local move and 3–4+ weeks for an interstate move — sooner during summer (May 15–August 31) and end-of-month dates which fill first. Last-minute bookings are often possible mid-week if you're flexible on date.
- Do you handle specialty items like pianos, gun safes, and art?
- Yes. Pianos (upright, baby grand, full grand), gun safes, hot tubs, pool tables, large freestanding art, and grandfather clocks are billed as separate accessorial line items because they need 3–4 crew and proper crating to handle safely. Tell us about them in your quote so we can scope crew size and equipment correctly.
