Pine Hills, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Pine Hills, FL is simple. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth pickup:

Remove personal items: Clear out all belongings from inside your car. Personal items aren’t covered by carrier insurance and can shift during transit.

Take out toll passes and accessories: Remove your SunPass or E-ZPass, GPS devices, and any aftermarket accessories like bike racks or spoilers that could be damaged.

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

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Make sure your vehicle runs properly and has no fluid leaks. Inform your carrier of any issues.

Maintain fuel level: Keep your gas tank between 1/4 and 1/2 full. This reduces weight while ensuring the car can be loaded and unloaded.

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

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

When the driver picks up your vehicle in Pine Hills, you’ll receive a copy of their insurance certificate. We recommend taking photos of your vehicle before loading it onto the carrier. This documents its condition and helps with any claims if needed.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and offer competitive rates
• More availability: You’ll have more carrier options to choose from
• Flexible dates: Earlier booking gives you more control over pickup timing
• Route optimization: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading the same direction

If you need faster service, we also offer expedited shipping with pickup in as little as 24-48 hours. Keep in mind that rush orders typically cost more than standard bookings.

For the smoothest experience, contact us as soon as you know your moving dates. We’ll work with you to find the best pickup window for your schedule and budget.

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 popular and affordable option, used for about 90% of vehicle shipments.

Enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle inside a covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service costs 50-60% more than open transport.

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

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service for Pine Hills, FL residents. This is our most popular option because it’s simple and convenient.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, we’ll ask for your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come directly to your home or location in Pine Hills to pick up your vehicle. They’ll then deliver it right to your door at your destination.

In most Pine Hills neighborhoods, door-to-door service works perfectly. However, if your street has low-hanging trees, tight turns, or restrictions on large trucks, the driver may ask to meet you at a nearby location. This could be a shopping center parking lot, gas station, or main road that’s easier for the carrier to access safely.

Our team will work with you to find the best solution that keeps your car safe and makes pickup and delivery as easy as possible.

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.
