Delray Beach, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Delray Beach, FL is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car – carriers aren’t insured for personal belongings. Take out any toll passes like SunPass, GPS devices, and fragile items that could break during transit.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process smoother. Remove or secure any loose exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antenna toppers that could come off during transport.

Make sure your car is in good working order with less than a quarter tank of gas – this reduces weight and meets safety rules. Have your keys ready and ensure your battery is charged so the driver can move your vehicle on and off the carrier.

Finally, document your car’s condition with photos before pickup. This protects you if any damage occurs during shipping. For complete details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Delray Beach, FL with Sherpa Auto Transport.

Every carrier in our network must carry:

• $1,000,000 minimum liability insurance
• $100,000 minimum cargo insurance

Before your Delray Beach pickup, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This means your vehicle is covered from the moment it’s loaded in Delray Beach until delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during transport.

Tip: Take photos of your vehicle before pickup in Delray Beach. This helps document its condition for insurance purposes.

For car shipping from Delray Beach, FL, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, the earlier you schedule, the better your options will be.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: Popular routes from South Florida fill up quickly
• Lower costs: Last-minute bookings often cost 20-30% more
• Flexible scheduling: More time means better pickup and delivery windows
• Route bundling: Carriers can group your car with others heading the same direction

If you need rush service (less than one week), we can still help, but expect higher prices and limited carrier options. Peak seasons like winter months see heavy demand from Delray Beach as snowbirds head north.

Pro tip: Book as soon as you know your moving dates. You can always adjust your schedule later if needed.

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 uses uncovered trailers that expose your car to weather and road debris. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed transport uses covered trailers that fully protect your vehicle from the elements. This premium service costs more but is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most everyday vehicles shipping to or from Delray Beach, open transport works perfectly fine. However, if you own a high-value car or want maximum protection from Florida’s weather and highway debris, enclosed transport is worth the extra cost.

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.
