Spring Hill, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Spring Hill, FL is simple. Follow these key steps:

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing damage with photos.

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. These aren’t covered by insurance during transit.

Check for leaks and issues: Make sure your car is in good running condition. Fix any fluid leaks before pickup.

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

Secure or remove accessories: Remove or secure antennas, spoilers, and bike racks that could be damaged.

Keep fuel low: Leave only about a quarter tank of gas. This reduces weight and meets safety rules.

Provide a key: Have a working key ready for the driver.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Spring Hill, FL. All carriers in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your shipment, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup. If you have questions about coverage, our team is here to help explain the details.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping service from Spring Hill, FL at least 1-2 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and match your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction.

Booking early offers several benefits:

• Better pricing: More time allows carriers to optimize their routes, which can lower your costs
• More carrier options: You’ll have access to a wider selection of qualified carriers
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for your timeline

Need to ship sooner? We can often arrange expedited pickup within 2-5 days, though this may come with higher rates due to the rush scheduling.

For the best experience, contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. The earlier you book, the smoother your car shipping experience will be.

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 uses open-air trailers that carry multiple vehicles at once. Your car is exposed to weather and road elements during transit. This is the most common and affordable option, used for about 90% of all car shipments.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Which should you choose? Most Spring Hill residents use open transport—it’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications. Enclosed trailers also make sense for brand new cars or vehicles with high resale value.

See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for a detailed comparison and pricing information.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service throughout Spring Hill, FL and across the country. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home, business, or another location you choose, and deliver it directly to your destination address.

When you book with us, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will do their best to reach both locations. However, in some Spring Hill neighborhoods with narrow streets, low-hanging trees, or tight turns, large car carriers may have difficulty accessing certain residential areas.

If your specific address isn’t accessible for a full-size carrier, don’t worry. We’ll work with you to find a convenient nearby meeting spot, such as a shopping center parking lot, gas station, or main road. This ensures your vehicle is picked up and delivered as close to your door as safely possible.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle – no need to drive to a terminal or drop-off location. It’s our most popular shipping option for Spring Hill residents.

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.
