Pickup in Tampa
South Tampa
Hyde Park, Palma Ceia and the streets near Bayshore have old oaks and parked cars. The driver may meet you on a main road like Dale Mabry or Bay to Bay.
Crossing the bay
The Howard Frankland, Gandy and Courtney Campbell bridges link Tampa and Pinellas, and all three jam at rush hour. On the St. Pete side? See our St. Petersburg page.
Military moves
Carriers can’t drive onto MacDill without base access, so meet the driver at a lot outside the gate. Active duty, veterans and retirees can ask about our military discount.
Registering in Hillsborough
Florida gives new residents 10 days to register. Get Florida insurance, then visit the Hillsborough County tax collector. Cars from out of state need a VIN check.

Tampa FAQ
Can I ship my car during Gasparilla?
Yes, but avoid South Tampa and downtown on parade day. Bayshore Boulevard and the streets around it close for hours, so pick another day if you can.
Do you pick up in Wesley Chapel and Riverview?
Yes. Newer suburbs like Wesley Chapel, Riverview and Brandon are easy for carriers, though some HOA communities ask big trucks to stop at the entrance.
When is the busiest time to ship to Tampa?
Fall, when snowbirds head south, and spring, when they go home. Carrier space fills up in those months, so quote early.
