Deerfield Beach, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Deerfield Beach, FL is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car – this includes toll passes, GPS units, phone chargers, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process smoother. Take photos of your car from all angles as documentation.

Make sure your gas tank is between 1/4 and 1/2 full – enough for loading and unloading, but not so much that it adds unnecessary weight. Check that your battery is charged and your car starts reliably.

Remove or secure any exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged. If you can’t remove them, let your carrier know ahead of time.

Finally, have a spare key ready for the driver and make sure your car is accessible on pickup day. For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Deerfield Beach, 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 – Protects against accidents and damages
• $100,000 minimum cargo insurance – Covers your specific vehicle during transport
• Verified coverage – We check that insurance is valid before your Deerfield Beach pickup

For added protection, all our contracted carriers list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage throughout your shipment to ensure continuous protection from Deerfield Beach to your destination.

Your vehicle is protected from the moment it’s loaded onto the carrier truck until it’s safely delivered to you.

For car shipping from Deerfield Beach, FL, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, scheduling even earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can group your car with other vehicles heading to the same area
• More pickup options: You’ll have flexible dates to choose from
• Less stress: No last-minute rushing or limited availability

If you’re moving during busy seasons (summer months, holidays, or winter snowbird season), book 3-4 weeks ahead. Deerfield Beach sees heavy shipping traffic during these times.

Need to ship on short notice? We can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days, but expect higher costs and fewer carrier options.

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 alongside other vehicles. It’s safe and reliable for most cars, but your vehicle is exposed to weather and road debris during the journey from Deerfield Beach.

Enclosed transport costs about 50% more but provides full protection. Your car travels inside a covered trailer, shielded from rain, sun, and road debris. This is the smart choice for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

Most Deerfield Beach residents choose open transport because it’s cost-effective and works great for everyday vehicles. Only pick enclosed if your car is high-value or you want maximum protection. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details.
