Florissant, MO Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Florissant, MO is simple. Follow these key steps:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items from your car. These aren’t covered by carrier insurance.

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. This makes it easier to document any existing damage during inspection.

Check for leaks and issues: Make sure your vehicle runs properly and has no fluid leaks. Inflate tires to the proper pressure.

Secure or remove accessories: Take off or secure any loose parts like spoilers, antennas, or bike racks that could be damaged during transit.

Disable alarms: Turn off your car alarm to avoid issues during transport.

Leave a quarter tank of gas: Keep fuel levels low to reduce weight, but ensure there’s enough to load and unload your vehicle.

Provide a working key: Give the carrier a key that works for both ignition and doors.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Florissant, MO. All carriers in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and in good standing. This protects your vehicle throughout the entire transport from Florissant to your destination.

For added peace of mind, all carriers also list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage and ensure your vehicle stays protected every mile of the journey.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup, so you have all the details on hand.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping service from Florissant, MO at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and offer competitive rates
• More flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from
• Route optimization: Your vehicle can be grouped with other shipments heading the same direction

If you need faster service, we can often accommodate rush shipments with 2-5 days notice, though this may cost more. During peak moving seasons (summer and end of month), we suggest booking 3-4 weeks ahead when possible.

The bottom line: book as soon as you know your moving dates. This ensures the smoothest experience and the best rate for your Florissant car shipment.

No payment is due at the time of booking. We do require a payment method on file so that it is available to charge once a carrier is secured. We accept all major debit and credit cards, including Mastercard, Visa, Discover and American Express. The most convenient option is to pay for your shipment in full by credit card at the time a carrier is secured.

We also allow you to pay for your Initial Payment via credit or debit card and then pay the outstanding balance on delivery day via cash or a certified check made out to the carrier.

Your Sherpa shipment includes up to 100 lbs of personal items or household goods stored in the trunk area or secured below the window line. If you are shipping to or from a port or your shipment includes ocean transit, your vehicle must be emptied of all items. Sherpa and your assigned carrier cannot be responsible for personal items left inside the vehicle. See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details.

Yes. It is important that you, or another adult that you trust, is there for pickup and delivery of your vehicle. This designated person plays an important role in the shipping process including documenting the state of the vehicle and signing the Bill of Lading, which acts as a receipt of the vehicle’s condition.

Open auto transport is the most common and affordable option. Your vehicle is loaded onto an open-air trailer alongside other cars, exposed to weather and road conditions. This method is safe and reliable for most vehicles, costing significantly less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, road debris, and dust. This option typically costs 50-60% more than open transport but provides extra peace of mind for high-value, classic, luxury, or custom vehicles.

For most Florissant residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works perfectly fine. Choose enclosed transport if you’re moving a collector car, exotic vehicle, or any car where extra protection is worth the additional cost. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service throughout Florissant, MO and across the country. This is our most popular shipping option because it’s incredibly convenient.

In some cases, large car carriers may have difficulty accessing certain streets in Florissant due to low-hanging trees, narrow roads, or tight turns. If this happens, your driver will contact you to arrange a nearby meeting spot like a shopping center parking lot or gas station. This is rare, but we want you to know what to expect.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle—no need to drop off or pick up your vehicle at a terminal. It’s included in most of our quotes at no extra charge.

Many Auto Transport companies try to tease customers with lower rates, only to surprise you with “hidden costs” later. At Sherpa Auto Transport, we do things differently. We provide one locked-in price upfront and stick to it. If unexpected costs arise, we pay them out of our own pocket.

While we may not always be the cheapest option at first glance, our commitment to transparency and reliability offers exceptional value. As a premium service, we ensure an stress-free experience from start to finish.

We transport sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans and motorcycles across the nation, including service to Alaska and Hawaii. At this time, we do not service boats, golf carts, ATVs, or RVs. We can ship both operable and inoperable vehicles so long as the vehicle can roll, brake, and steer, and that you can provide the carrier with a key to the vehicle. We can also ship electric vehicles.
