Miramar, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Miramar, FL is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car – this includes electronics, documents, and loose items that could shift during transit. Remove or secure exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antenna toppers that might get damaged.

Make sure your car has less than a quarter tank of gas to reduce weight and meet safety requirements. Document your vehicle’s condition with photos before pickup – this protects you if any issues arise. Finally, ensure you have a working key available for the driver and remove any toll passes like SunPass.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Miramar, FL with Sherpa Auto Transport. We require all our carriers to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your vehicle throughout the entire transport process.

Here’s what covers your vehicle:

• $1,000,000 minimum liability insurance – Required from every carrier
• $100,000 minimum cargo insurance – Covers damage to your specific vehicle
• Valid insurance verification – We check that coverage is active for your shipment dates

For added protection, Sherpa Auto Transport is listed as a Certificate Holder on each carrier’s insurance policy. This means we can directly verify coverage and help with any claims if needed.

Before your vehicle leaves Miramar, you’ll receive copies of the carrier’s insurance documents. We also recommend taking photos of your car before pickup to document its condition.

For car shipping from Miramar, FL, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability – More drivers service the busy South Florida market
• Lower costs – Carriers can group your car with other shipments
• Flexible scheduling – You get preferred pickup dates

If you need rush service, we can often arrange pickup within 2-3 days from Miramar. But expect higher costs for expedited shipping.

Pro tip: Miramar’s location near major highways makes it easier to find carriers. Still, booking early ensures smooth pickup and delivery.

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 transport is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs significantly less.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most Miramar residents shipping everyday vehicles, open transport works perfectly. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a high-value car that needs extra protection. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

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.
