How can I get my car from NJ to Florida legally !?

I recommend you find a local auto insurance agent to help. Since I live in Massachusetts I can't suggest an agent in Florida, but here is an website that can help you. http://www.simpleautoquotes.com/Auto-Insurance.html

You need to get insurance. Then drive or ship the car.

When it is in FL, you can cancel the insurance. This is common (people getting temp insurance just to move the car).

Good Luck...

If you are planning on reregistering the vehicle in Florida once it arrives, most insurance companies will insure the vehicle under a Florida policy. If you go about it this way, you will have the right coverage on the vehicle for the local registration before the vehicle enters the area, that way once the vehicle is local, you will not receive problems at the DMV with not being able to show proof of insurance when registering the vehicle for the first time.

you would have to get insurance on it first. if you cant drive from NJ to Florida, you could post a listing on Craigs List and pay someone to drive it down for you.

Without insurance, you would need to either tow or haul it. Contact a truck rental company like Budget, Penske or UHaul, they can give you rates.

if the registration is still valid (check with NJ DMV since they may have revoked it for no insurance) then get it licensed in Florida. your insurance company in florida should be able to add it to your policy, like you were picking it up from a family member

Get it insured and drive it, or get it towed or shipped to you.

You could get insurance. Or you could chance it and drive to Florida. Or you could pull it on a trailer. You can rent a car trailer from Uhaul that you drag it behind your vehicle, assuming you have a hitch.

Other than this, you could always have it towed by a friend.
Don't get caught without insurance if you can avoid it, especially in Florida. I used to live there.

buy temporary insurance and ROAD TRIP!!

If the registration expires in December of '09, you're good to go as long as you take out a NJ insuance policy on it; then you can drive it to FL, get insurance there (jmaybe with the same company, if they're admitted in FL), and register it. Your NJ policy will ge good in FL until you make the change.

Well,
1) Get the car towed to a car carrier and pay them to transport it to Florida on a truck.
2) Go to a quickie insurance place that sells insurance by the month to poor people and buy insurance, drive the car to Florida and cancel the insurance.
3) Get someone else who has a car to drive the car to Florida under the 3rd Party liability insurance of their car. Most states, and you will know Florida and New Jersey better than I only require liability insurance on the driver - not collision, etc. on the vehicle.
Once in Florida, you register the car in Florida getting Florida plates, etc.

i moved from New Jersey to Florida with NJ plates and insurance .
with in 2 weeks i got a florida licence all i needed was a birth cert and $10.00 bucks . Then i went to a florida insurance agent from the same insurance company and swicthed the insurance to florida . Then I went to the DMV in florida and registred the car in Florida they gave me plates and reg ,that was it done easy but best to do this within 2 weeks are less think thats the law. Seeing as you don't have any Insurance on the car nor registration becasue you don't have insurance . Best to get the Vin number and see a florida agent and insure the car . then with out florida plates you will have to tow it down here .

when the liecense runs out register it in florida

Rebecca

ck i they do in ship cars from Fl to different locations I know this because I live in the Virgin Islands they will put u in right direction. Go to a local shipping coming such as moving ,or go to in your case speak with a notary, or a shipping company in the telephone book that sounds as though they can be helpful

aka King Kong

Go to DMV and get a transport license plate and registration.

I wasn't proposing it as a freeway solution. It will and does work as a long distance solution.

Subject: [t-i] Amtrak car train

I don't know if it makes money, but I seem to recall that the Car Train service is usually sold out. The train is non-stop from Lorton, VA to Orlando. The point here being long distance travel - not from Riverside to Manhattan Beach. The north-south lines would be non-stop. The east-west lines could have a stop every 800 miles or so. Obviously, you'd group the vehicles by destination when loading.

They could even use off-line staging. Hell, if you guys can do it at 125mph, surely Amtrak can manage it at zero. Have one bay for receiving and one bay for each destination down stream.

AMTRAK won't do the job - the train must stop and car loading/unloading takes too long.
Plus, the railroads want to less AMTRAK so they can carry freight which makes money.
Also, the customers are driving on the highways so you need stations nearby.

Sounds an awful lot like that car bus scheme woth the microcars. I think something similar to this might be useful for travel between cities, but we immediately run into the problem of building miles of new guideway. How about we start by expanding Amtrak's car train? It's been running for years between Wash DC and Orlando. My mother has used it and loved it, but it only runs in that one corridor. Why not have a couple east-west car trains and several more north-south car trains?
