ChevyVanMiller Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 My father-in-law passed away and his car is in Florida. I plan to fly down and drive it back to NY. Has anyone ever done this? What do I need to do to get temporary registration (in FL or NY???) and can my insurance company give me temporary insurance for the trip? Thanks for any advice.

The Avenger Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Call your insurance agent - they have probably dealt with this before - I'm sure other clients have received cars from deceased family members. I'm pretty sure the first thing you'll need is the title to the car - once you have that you should be able to register and insure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) See how much it would cost to have it transported up here. My brother is a car hauler... He worked as a teamster for the companies before he got laid off in 2008 and never got called back...SO he took a job w/a company hauling cars around... Usually he takes old beaters from Canada to Baltimore where they are loaded and sent to Africa... YES, Africa. Anway, this time of the year, he handles "snowbirds" moving thier cars back and forth from the south. What I am saying is that they are heading down there loaded and will return with a light load... You may get a deal! I will Look into it if you want. I don't know the name of the company but, they are on Transit I think? By the old LTV Steel? I will ask him... It might be cheaper for you to have it transported than one-way airfare, and gas, wear and tear on the way back north... If you want I will text him for the name of the company... Honestly, it may be cheaper since you will have the car with a group of others. If you mind me asking? What part of FLA?

I have a friend who has his corvette sent down and back from Largo every year on a train. No hassle and less than gas, lodging, plus no miles put on it. Try googling for companies that do this.

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) I think in Illinois you would have a rider on your insurance... Isn't there a poster here that is a insurance agent from NYS? I have a friend who has his corvette sent down and back from Largo every year on a train. No hassle and less than gas, lodging, plus no miles put on it. Try googling for companies that do this. My brother just texted me back... His company will do it for $850.00 ONE WAY.

I don't know how much the trip will cost you and what kinda mileage the FiL's car gets... BUT wear and tear may be an issue too... 850 doesn't sound bad and they might be able to haggle... Oh... I don't want to spoil a mini-vacation if you had your heart's set on it! ;-) ;-) Just figure I would throw it out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it again after I posted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwV6zOewCXA Thanks for the info. I'll give him a ring. Oh, the car is in Punta Gorda. I have friends who want to move there in the worst way. He wants to buy a big sailboat and spend his time sailing. I told him it means Fat Whore. He didn't mind.
