Chicago to Naples is about 1,300 miles of interstate, south on I-65 from the edge of Chicago to Nashville and then down I-75 the rest of the way, which keeps the trip itself simple. The thought goes into the Naples end, where the city keeps big trucks off the streets nearest the Gulf, and into the car’s Illinois plates if it keeps them.
Most of the city lets a car carrier stop for long enough to unload, but the Gulf side doesn’t. Naples won’t let a tractor-trailer park on any public street west of Gordon Drive between Bay Road and 20th Avenue South, or west of Gulf Shore Boulevard from there up to the northern city limits, so a delivery to a house on the beach side of Gordon Drive or a building on Gulf Shore Boulevard is handed over quickly or on a street to the east. That’s why it helps to be there when the driver calls with the time, because the truck can’t sit and wait for you.
Not if Naples is where it now lives. Illinois tests most gasoline cars from the Chicago area every two years once they’re four years old, but a car that’s kept and mostly driven outside the testing area, in a place with no testing of its own, can be excused with an Out of Area Exemption, and Florida doesn’t test at all. So if the car is staying in Naples on its Illinois plates, apply for the exemption rather than planning a drive home for the test. A car that only spends the winter in Naples doesn’t fit that description, which means its test still falls due in the month its plates expire, and it’s worth checking which month that is before the car heads south.

Yes. Every toll, bridge and congestion charge the truck pays on the way is already in your quote, and nothing is added for them after you book.
You can cancel for free up to 7 days before pickup. After that, the deposit is non-refundable.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
One to two weeks ahead is enough on most routes. Busy corridors handle shorter notice, and quieter lanes benefit from the full two weeks. Booking earlier does not lower the price; it settles your dates sooner, and the price holds for 28 days either way.
