At Compare Transport LLC, we make truck compliance simple. As an online permit agency and freight broker serving all U.S. states and Canadian provinces, we secure the credentials you need quickly and correctly so you can keep rolling. If you’re planning to enter or cross Florida and don’t have Florida apportioned registration or an active IFTA license, you’ll likely need a Florida ten-day Trip Permit (and, in many cases, a matching ten-day Temporary Fuel Use Permit). Below, we explain what each permit is, who needs it, how long it’s valid, what it costs, how it differs from oversize/overweight permitting, and why carriers choose Compare Transport LLC to handle it end-to-end.
What is a Florida ten-day Trip Permit?
A Florida Trip Permit is temporary registration that allows an otherwise non-apportioned vehicle to operate legally in Florida for a short period. Instead of securing full Florida IRP apportionment, the carrier buys a temporary permit valid for 10 days from the date of issuance. During those 10 days, the vehicle can operate in Florida without paying Florida apportioned plate fees. Florida law explicitly sets the duration at ten (10) days and the fee at $30.
A Florida Temporary Trip Permit allows a vehicle that is not apportioned for Florida under the International Registration Plan (IRP) to operate legally within the state. Each permit is valid for ten (10) consecutive days from the date of issuance and costs $30.00. This temporary registration must be obtained before entering Florida and must remain in the vehicle during operation. Carriers needing assistance may contact the Bureau of Commercial Vehicle and Driver Services for further guidance or support.
Florida Temporary Trip Permits
A Florida Temporary Fuel Use Permit is required for carriers who do not have a valid International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) license and decals. This permit authorizes the vehicle to operate legally while covering fuel tax obligations in Florida. The permit is valid for ten (10) consecutive days and costs $45.00 each. Carriers can apply through the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) system or by contacting the Bureau of Commercial Vehicle and Driver Services directly for assistance.
Florida Temporary Fuel Use Permits
When do you need the Trip Permit?
You generally need a Trip Permit if your power unit is not apportioned for Florida under IRP but must travel into, within, or through the state. Out-of-state carriers must secure the permit before entering Florida, and the permit must stay in the vehicle while operating.
Do I also need a ten-day Temporary Fuel Use Permit?
Often, yes. If the vehicle does not have a valid IFTA license and decals, you must purchase a Florida Temporary Fuel Use Permit. Florida sets this permit’s validity at 10 days and the fee at $45. You can buy it from Compare Transport LLC
Quick recap on the two 10-day permits many carriers need:
- Trip (IRP) Permit: 10 days, $30; temporary registration for non-apportioned vehicles.
- Temporary Fuel Use (IFTA) Permit: 10 days, $45; temporary fuel tax compliance for non-IFTA carriers.
How to get your Florida permits the easy way
You can buy the Florida Temporary Fuel Use Permit online via Compare Transport LLC, and you can coordinate the Trip Permit through approved channels or at designated ports of entry. That’s where Compare Transport LLC comes in.
We handle:
- Florida IRP Trip Permits (10 days)
- Florida Temporary Fuel Use Permits (10 days)
- FDOT oversize/overweight trip permits when your load exceeds legal size/weight
- Multi-state routing, so your Florida paperwork lines up with neighboring states
- Same-day turnarounds in most cases (subject to state systems and cutoffs)
Timing tips that save fines, delays, and re-work
- Secure permits before the state line. Florida expects the permit to be in hand before entry. Don’t gamble on “I’ll grab it later” plan it as part of your dispatch process.
- Keep the original or a legible copy in the cab. Enforcement will ask to see it. If you’re stopped without it, you risk civil penalties under Florida law.
- Align the 10-day windows. If you need both Trip (IRP) and Fuel (IFTA) coverage, set the start dates together so the clocks match your transit plan.
- Oversize/overweight? Handle that separately. An IRP Trip Permit does not authorize an oversize or overweight move. If your dimensions or axle weights are over legal limits,
we’ll route and permit your movement with FDOT often as a ten-day trip authorization tied to the specific route.
Why carriers choose Compare Transport LLC
- Expert, one-stop compliance. We understand the nuances across IRP, IFTA, and FDOT oversize/overweight rules. Tell us where you’re going and what you’re hauling; we’ll build the exact permit set you need.
- Speed and accuracy. Our specialists issue permits daily and know Florida’s state portals, call-in lines, and cutoffs. That helps minimize downtime and reduce rejections or corrections.
- Route-first thinking. We check legal dimensions, axle spacings, and restrictions while sequencing your Florida permits with neighboring jurisdictions so you’re covered from A to B, not just inside state lines.
- Transparent pricing. State fees are fixed by law (Trip Permit $30; Temporary Fuel Use Permit $45). Our service fee is just starting from $25. We quote our service fee upfront and keep your total cost predictable.
- Scales and roadside confidence. We provide clean, driver-friendly packets with permit numbers, start/end dates, and any special provisions (like route instructions for oversize/overweight). That makes inspections faster and less stressful.
What we need from you to get started
- Vehicle info: VIN, plate/home jurisdiction, GVW, and IRP/IFTA status
- Dates: Desired start date so the 10-day window covers your trip
- Route: Entry point, Florida destinations, and exit (for precise timing and, if needed, FDOT routing)
- Load details (if OS/OW): Overall dimensions, axle spacings/weights, and any escort requirements
With that, our team prepares and issues the correct permits—often the same day—then emails you a clean packet ready for the cab.
When time is money, paperwork should never hold you back. Compare Transport LLC is your all-in-one partner for Florida compliance whether you need a straightforward $30 Trip Permit for temporary registration, a $45 Temporary Fuel Use Permit to satisfy IFTA rules, or a ten-day FDOT oversize/overweight trip permit for specialized loads.
