Add to that the cost of the auto transport combined with the cost of a sleeper car and everything else, and it just makes way more sense to drive it.

Those are some good points

There are YT videos of loading / unloading that you can watch... Folks grabbed footage off of their dash cams and posted. The biggest concerns I had centered around the people walking past the car after loading / before unloading and the tight quarters for opening the doors.

It's also worth noting that the cars are "parked" in the transport cars, not "secured."

Hope you have very good wet weather tires. June to November is Hurricane season and almost daily afternoon storms.

Adding to that... DO NOT DRIVE IN FLORIDA SUMMER DOWNPOURS on the stock tires over 45mph.

But put on a set of Michelin PS4S's and you'll be fine at highway speeds.


And welcome in advance to Sarasota!

Love it down the area my parents use to have a beach house in Sarasota being going down there for years. I do have PS4S on it.
