Know before you apply
- Transporter plates renew every December — a plate is valid for one renewal year at a time.
- They cannot be renewed for two years and cannot be personalized.
- Business purposes only — a transporter plate may never be used for personal driving.
- Once issued, the plate belongs to your company for as long as you keep it renewed.
- Active commercial insurance is required every month to keep the plates valid.
- A business may hold a maximum of 5 transporter plates.
Monthly insurance
Commercial insurance is required to keep the plates active. From experience it usually runs $80–$120 per month depending on your location. Paid to your insurance carrier, not to us.
What is a Florida transporter plate?
A Florida transporter plate is a state-issued license plate that allows a business to legally drive unregistered or untitled vehicles on public roads. Unlike a regular tag, the plate is issued to your company instead of a single vehicle — so it moves from car to car as you work. It is the legal way to pick up an auction purchase, deliver a vehicle to a buyer, or move inventory between lots without registering each car first.
You do not need a dealer license to hold transporter plates. You do need an active business, commercial insurance, and the county permits that go with the plate — and that is exactly the paperwork we handle for you from start to finish.
