Deerfield Beach, FL Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and loose items. Carriers typically don’t insure personal property inside the vehicle.

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

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Ensure your vehicle runs properly and has no fluid leaks. Inflate tires to the recommended pressure.

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

Keep fuel low: Leave only about a quarter tank of gas. This reduces weight and meets safety requirements.

Provide a key: Give the carrier a working key for loading and unloading.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off or secure any custom parts, antennas, spoilers, or bike racks that could be damaged in transit.

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

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance policy is active and in good standing. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy for added protection.

This insurance coverage is included in your quote at no extra cost, giving you peace of mind while your vehicle is in transit.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping service from Deerfield Beach at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you more options and better rates.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: More time allows carriers to plan efficient routes through Deerfield Beach
• Lower costs: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with other shipments, reducing your price
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to fit your timeline
• Peak season planning: During busy months (summer and holidays), earlier booking is essential

Need to ship last-minute? We can often accommodate rush orders within 3-5 days, though this may cost more and limit your carrier choices.

For the best experience, book as soon as you know your move dates. This ensures smooth pickup from Deerfield Beach and timely delivery to your destination.

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, but it’s the most affordable and common option. Most vehicles shipped to and from Deerfield Beach use open transport.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. It costs 50-60% more than open transport, but shields your car from weather, dust, and road debris.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard vehicle and want the best value. It’s safe, reliable, and used for 90% of all car shipments.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or have custom paint work that needs extra protection.

Both options are fully insured. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details on which option fits your needs.

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.
