Vero Beach, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Vero Beach, FL is simple. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth pickup:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items from inside the vehicle. Carriers are not insured for personal property.

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

Check fluid levels and battery: Ensure your vehicle has enough fuel (about 1/4 tank), and the battery is charged so it can be loaded and unloaded.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, antennas, and other external accessories that could be damaged during transit.

Disable alarms: Turn off car alarms to prevent issues during transport.

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Vero Beach, FL. Every carrier 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 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 the carrier’s insurance information before pickup. We recommend taking photos of your vehicle before transport and reviewing the condition with the driver at both pickup and delivery.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping service from Vero Beach at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you more options and better rates.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: Carriers can plan routes and bundle shipments heading in the same direction
• More competitive pricing: Last-minute bookings often cost more due to limited availability
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

If you need expedited service, we can often arrange pickup within 24-48 hours, though this may come at a premium price. For the best experience, contact us as soon as you know your moving dates.

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 an open-air trailer that exposes your vehicle to weather and road elements. It’s the most popular and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed transport. Your car ships safely alongside other vehicles, just like you see car carriers on the highway.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service typically costs 50-60% more than open transport.

Which should you choose? Most Vero Beach residents use open transport—it’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly for everyday vehicles. Choose enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications that need extra protection.

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.
