Apopka, FL Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. Carriers typically don’t insure personal property left inside.

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document its condition with photos before shipping.

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

Remove accessories: Take off any exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged during transit.

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

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Apopka, FL. Every carrier in our network must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

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

Your vehicle is covered from pickup in Apopka until delivery at your destination. If you’d like to review the carrier’s insurance details, we’re happy to provide that information before your shipment.

We recommend scheduling your pickup from Apopka, FL at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and offer competitive rates
• More flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from
• Route optimization: Your vehicle can be grouped with other shipments heading the same direction

If you need faster service, we offer expedited shipping with pickup possible in as little as 24-48 hours. Keep in mind this option costs more due to the rush scheduling.

For the smoothest experience, book as soon as you know your moving dates. This is especially important during busy seasons like summer and the beginning and end of each month.

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 shipping method, costing significantly less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport uses fully covered trailers that protect your vehicle from weather, dust, and debris. This option typically costs 50-60% more than open transport but provides maximum protection.

Which should you choose? Most Apopka residents choose open transport—it’s safe, reliable, and budget-friendly. Consider enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications. The extra cost is worth it for high-value vehicles 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.
