Doral, FL Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. Carriers typically don’t insure personal property left inside.

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

Check for leaks and issues: Make sure your car runs properly with no fluid leaks. Disable alarms to avoid issues during transport.

Secure or remove accessories: Take off or secure loose parts like antennas, spoilers, and bike racks that could be damaged in transit.

Maintain fuel levels: 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 carrier.

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

Before we assign your shipment, 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 your driver arrives to pick up your vehicle in Doral, they will provide proof of insurance. You’ll receive a copy of the Bill of Lading, which includes the carrier’s insurance details. We recommend taking photos of your vehicle before loading it onto the carrier.

If you have questions about insurance coverage, our team is here to help. We’re committed to making your car shipping experience from Doral safe and worry-free.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping service from Doral, FL at least 1-2 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and pair your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction.

Booking early offers several benefits:

• Better pricing: More time means more carrier options and competitive rates
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date choices that fit your timeline
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rush fees and limited availability

That said, we understand plans change. If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickup within 3-5 days for an expedited fee. Contact us as soon as you know your moving dates, and we’ll work to accommodate your schedule.

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 is the most common and affordable option, where your vehicle is shipped on an open-air trailer alongside other cars. It’s perfect for everyday vehicles and costs significantly less than enclosed shipping.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, road debris, and dust. This option typically costs 50-60% more than open transport but is ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, exotic sports cars, or any car with custom modifications.

For most Doral residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value and reliability. Choose enclosed transport if your car is high-value or requires extra protection during the journey. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service for Doral, FL. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home or business and deliver it directly to your destination address.

What if my street is too narrow or has restrictions?

Sometimes large car carriers can’t access certain residential areas due to low-hanging trees, narrow streets, or HOA restrictions. If this happens in your Doral neighborhood, don’t worry. Our driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center parking lot or gas station. This is still much more convenient than terminal-to-terminal shipping.

Door-to-door service is included in your quote at no extra charge. It’s the easiest way to ship your car to or from Doral.

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.
