Statewide Florida · vault in Fort Lauderdale
Nothing on the Vehicle Says What Is Inside It
We collect high-value property anywhere in Florida and take it to a vault we operate ourselves. No livery, no logo, two attendants, and a signed record from the moment it leaves your hands.
Tell us what, from where, and roughly when. No obligation, and no inventory list needed to start the conversation.

The difference
Why this is arranged the way it is
The vault at the other end is ours
Most transport ends at a loading dock and becomes somebody else's problem. Ours ends inside a 9R-rated vault behind two 14,000-pound doors, operated by the same company that collected the property. There is no handoff to a third party and no gap in the record.
Low profile is the security
An armored truck outside a house announces that something worth taking is inside it. For a private residence, an unmarked vehicle and two people who look like nothing in particular is the safer arrangement. That is a deliberate choice, not a cheaper one.
A record an adjuster will accept
Itemised at collection, photographed, signed by both parties, timestamped at every handoff, and countersigned on vault entry. If a claim is ever made, the paperwork is the difference between a payout and an argument.
We will tell you when to hire somebody else
Bulk bullion above a certain value, interstate movements, and anything needing an armed escort belong with a licensed armored carrier. We will say so and, where we can, tell you who to call.
How a move works
What actually happens
01 · Inventory
Itemised and photographed before anything is wrapped or sealed. This is the record an adjuster will read.
02 · Sealed in your presence
Tamper-evident containers, seal numbers written onto your copy of the schedule.
03 · Two attendants
Neither is ever alone with the property, and the load is never left unattended.
04 · Direct drive
No consolidation with another client, no other collections, no stops.
05 · Vault entry
Seals checked against your copy, countersigned, and into a 9R-rated vault we operate.
06 · The record
Timestamped at every handoff, and available to you, your counsel or your insurer.
Said plainly
What we are not
We are not a licensed security agency. There are no armed personnel, no armored vehicles, and no security detail. For very high declared values, for anything crossing a state line, or for cargo that genuinely warrants an armed escort, you want a national armored carrier — and we will say so on the phone rather than take the work.
Statewide
Routes we run
45–75 min
Brickell & Downtown Miami
High-rise collections, which means the loading dock and the service elevator decide the schedule rather than the traffic. Most Brickell towers require a certificate of insurance filed with building management days in advance and will only release the service lift in a booked window — we handle that paperwork, but it is why a Brickell collection is booked a week out and a house is not.

50–80 min
Coral Gables
Older single-family houses on narrow, banyan-shaded streets with strict tree and parking rules. A vehicle cannot always get close to the door, so a Gables collection is planned around where we can legally stand, and that is worth a phone call before the day rather than a surprise on it.

50–80 min
Coconut Grove
A mix of waterfront estates and 1920s houses, several of them with art collections that have never been condition-reported. The Grove sits low, and clients here move things out ahead of the season more often than anywhere else in Miami-Dade.

60–90 min
Key Biscayne
One causeway on and off the island, with a toll and a single point of failure. When a storm is forecast the Rickenbacker is exactly where everyone is at once, so Key Biscayne is the one market where we insist on booking well ahead of a cone rather than during it.

45–75 min
Miami Beach & Surfside
Causeway-dependent and, from Surfside north, largely mid-rise condominium. Since 2021 the building-access rules here have tightened considerably, and management offices are noticeably more careful about who is allowed a service lift — expect to be asked for documentation that a house never requires.

30–50 min
Aventura
Dense high-rise on the Dade line and the shortest big-building run we make. Loading docks here are generally well organised and bookable, which makes Aventura one of the few tower markets where a same-week collection is realistic.

Or do it another way
Us vs. a National Armored Carrier
Brink's, Loomis and GardaWorld do something we do not do, and for some cargo they are the correct answer. Here is where the line falls.

Insured Shipping vs. Hand Carriage
Carrier insurance is real, and for a lot of items it is perfectly adequate. The trouble starts with what the terms exclude, which almost nobody reads until they need to.

Movers vs. Secure Transport
A good moving company will move your house better and cheaper than we ever could. The question is only what happens to the small number of items that cannot be replaced.

Driving It Yourself vs. Using Us
You are allowed to put your own property in your own car and drive it. For plenty of clients that is the right answer, and we would rather say so than sell you something you do not need.

Tell us what needs to move
What it is, roughly where it is, and roughly when. You do not need an inventory to start the conversation — building the inventory is part of the job.
If the honest answer is that you should ship it, drive it yourself, or hire an armored carrier, you will get that answer on the first call.
Common questions
- Do you have armed guards and armored trucks?
- No. We are not a licensed security agency and we do not pretend to be. For cargo that genuinely needs an armed escort, or for interstate movement, hire a national armored carrier — we will tell you that on the call rather than take the job.
- Then what makes this secure?
- Procedure and discretion rather than force. An unmarked vehicle, two attendants who are never separated from the load, an itemised record signed before anything moves, and a vault at the other end that we operate ourselves.
- How is it insured?
- Transit coverage is arranged and confirmed in writing before each move, based on your declared value. We do not publish a blanket figure, because a number without your inventory behind it would be meaningless.
- Where does it end up?
- In a 9R-rated vault on the Galt Ocean Mile in Fort Lauderdale, behind two 14,000-pound John Tann doors, operating since 1983. Not a warehouse and not a third party.
- Is the vault a bank?
- No. Florida Intervault is a private vault facility. It is not a bank, contents are not FDIC insured, and contents coverage is arranged separately through Lloyd's of London.
- How far do you travel?
- Anywhere in Florida, from Key West to Tampa. Not out of state.
- How much notice do you need?
- A week is comfortable. May and October fill up across South Florida because everyone closes or opens a house in the same fortnight, so book those early.
- Do you honour subpoenas and court orders?
- Yes, and we say so publicly. A facility whose position on that is unknown is not one a lawyer or an executor can use.
