Town N Country, FL Car Shipping

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

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. These aren’t covered by carrier insurance.

Check fluid levels 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 or secure accessories: Take off bike racks, roof racks, spoilers, and antennas that could be damaged during transit.

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

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Town n Country, FL. All carriers in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

We recommend scheduling your car shipment from Town n Country, FL at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why advance notice helps:

• Better carrier availability: More carriers can bid on your shipment
• Lower prices: You avoid rush fees and last-minute surcharges
• Flexible scheduling: You get more pickup date options that work for you
• Route optimization: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading the same direction

Need to ship sooner? We can often arrange pickup within 2-5 days, though this may cost more. For the best experience and pricing, book as early as possible.

Pro tip: If you’re moving during peak season (summer months or holidays), give yourself 3-4 weeks of lead time for the smoothest process.

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 debris during transit. This is the most common and affordable option, used for about 90% of vehicle shipments.

Enclosed auto transport uses fully covered trailers that protect your vehicle from the elements. Your car ships in a secure, climate-controlled environment. This method costs 50-60% more than open transport.

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

What if the truck can’t access my street?

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.
