Deerfield Beach is a city located in Broward County, Florida and is currently home to over 75,000 residents. Deerfield Beach is located in northeastern Broward County and is a part of the Miami metropolitan area, which is home to over 5.5 million residents. Deerfield Beach began its life in 1890, when it was settled as Hillsboro; it overlooks the Hillsboro River, after all. By the turn of the 20th century, the name had been changed to Deerfield, an homage to the numerous deer that once populated the area. Deerfield grew slowly; the early 20th century saw the area as mostly farmland, though after the railroad to Miami was built through the town, it began to see more population growth, and by 1960 it was home to over 9,500 people – the increase between 1950 and 1960 was a 358% population increase. By 2000 there were over 64,000 residents in Deerfield Beach, and today there are over 75,000.

Auto Transport Tips to Deerfield Beach
Deerfield Beach sits in northeastern Broward County, Florida, right on the Atlantic Ocean (hence the name “Deerfield Beach“). It is a major snowbird destination. Snowbirds are people that, during the winter months, live in a warmer area (such as Florida or Arizona), while during the summer months they tend to live in more moderate climates (like New England or the Great Lakes). These people often use auto transportation services for their vehicles, and this makes it a lot easier for people who aren’t snowbirds to find transportation services into and out of popular snowbird areas, such as Deerfield Beach.
Snowbird season tends to be during the fall and early winter months, which is probably one of the best times to get a deal on shipping to Deerfield Beach. It helps a lot that the city sits right along Interstate 95, which connects southern Florida (mainly Miami) with cities further north such as New York City, Boston, Washington, D.C., and more. This gives auto shippers unparalleled access to some of the most densely populated areas on the east coast, and gives them an easy route through almost all of them, which generally means faster pickup times and lower prices for you.
Make sure to talk to an auto transport representative about cost and timeframe for transport to and from Deerfield Beach, and you may even be able to talk to them about possible pickup or delivery alternatives, if they can save you money. As a major part of the Miami metro area it isn’t likely there will be anywhere much closer that’ll be any cheaper than shipping to Deerfield Beach, but it’s always worth a shot.
