Colorado to Florida Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Colorado to Florida is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and fragile items. Carriers aren’t responsible for personal property.

Clean your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Make sure your car has less than a quarter tank of gas. Check that your battery is secure and fluids aren’t leaking.

Remove or secure loose parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or loose trim that could get damaged. Fold in mirrors and retract antennas.

Document everything: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. Note any existing scratches or dents.

Have keys ready: Provide one set of working keys to the driver. Make sure your car starts and runs properly.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Colorado to Florida. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your car leaves Colorado, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection throughout your shipment.

Your vehicle is covered from pickup in Colorado until delivery in Florida. If you have questions about coverage, our team can provide insurance details before you book your shipment.

For car shipping from Colorado to Florida, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and reliable service.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and bundle shipments
• More carrier options: Popular routes like Colorado to Florida fill up quickly
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

If you’re moving during peak seasons (summer months or winter holidays), consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead. These times see higher demand for car shipping services.

Need last-minute shipping? We can often accommodate rush orders, but expect higher costs and limited carrier availability. Contact us as soon as possible to explore your 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 auto transport uses open trailers where your car is exposed to weather and road debris. It costs less and is widely available. Enclosed transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer but costs 40-60% more.

For most Colorado to Florida moves, open transport works great. The weather is generally mild on this route. Choose enclosed transport if you have a luxury car, classic vehicle, or custom paint job that needs extra protection from sun, rain, and road debris during the 1,100+ mile journey.

Open transport typically takes 5-7 days while enclosed may take 7-10 days due to fewer available carriers. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for a detailed comparison to help you decide.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers convenient door-to-door auto transport service from Colorado to Florida. This means we pick up your vehicle at your home or office and deliver it directly to your new address.

When you book your Colorado to Florida car shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come to you at both ends of the journey. This saves you time and eliminates the need to drive to a terminal.

In some cases, large trucks cannot access certain streets due to low bridges, narrow roads, or local restrictions. If this happens, our driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center or gas station. We always prioritize safety while keeping things as convenient as possible for you.

Door-to-door service is included in our standard pricing for Colorado to Florida routes. No hidden fees or extra charges.

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.
