Wellington, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Wellington, FL is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport. Next, clean your vehicle inside and out so you can easily spot any damage during inspection.

Document your car’s condition by taking photos from multiple angles before pickup. Make sure your gas tank is no more than 1/4 full to reduce weight. Remove or secure any exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antenna toppers that could be damaged.

Finally, ensure you have working keys available for the carrier and that your car is in running condition. Check that your battery is charged and tires are properly inflated.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Wellington, FL. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your Wellington vehicle shipment, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all our contracted carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy for extra protection.

For car shipping from Wellington, FL, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and preferred dates.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and bundle shipments
• More availability: Popular dates fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons
• Less stress: You’ll have backup options if your first choice isn’t available

Peak season tip: During summer months and holidays, book 3-4 weeks ahead. Wellington’s location in South Florida makes it a busy shipping hub year-round.

Need to ship last minute? We can often accommodate rush orders within 3-5 days, though rates may be higher and date flexibility is limited.

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 uncovered trailers that hold 8-10 cars. This is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car will be exposed to weather and road debris during transport.

Enclosed auto transport uses covered trailers that protect your vehicle from weather, dust, and debris. This costs 40-60% more than open transport but offers maximum protection.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily driver and want to save money. Most cars ship this way safely.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom car with special paint. The extra cost is worth the peace of mind for high-value vehicles.

Both options are fully insured. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details about shipping from Wellington, FL.
