Kendall, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Kendall, FL is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes like SunPass, electronics, and fragile items. These can be damaged or lost during transport.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection process. Take photos of your car from all angles as proof of its condition.

Check your fluids and make sure your gas tank is between 1/4 and 1/2 full. Remove or secure any loose exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could fall off during transit.

Make sure you have a working key available for the driver. If your car has an alarm system, know how to turn it off or provide clear instructions.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Kendall, FL with Sherpa Auto Transport. We require all our carriers to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your vehicle throughout the entire transport process.

Our insurance requirements include:

• $1,000,000 in liability insurance – covers damages to other vehicles or property
• $100,000 in cargo insurance – protects your specific vehicle during transport

Before we assign your Kendall vehicle shipment to any carrier, we verify their insurance is current and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy, giving us direct access to insurance information.

Important note: While our carriers provide excellent coverage, we recommend checking with your personal auto insurance to understand what additional protection you may have during transport. Some policies offer extra coverage for vehicle shipping.

This insurance coverage is included in your quote at no extra cost, so you can ship your vehicle from Kendall with complete peace of mind.

For car shipping from Kendall, FL, we recommend scheduling your pickup service at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better carrier availability: More drivers operate routes from South Florida, giving you flexible pickup times
• Cost savings: Carriers can group your vehicle with others heading to similar destinations
• Reduced stress: You’ll have confirmed transport before your moving date

During peak seasons (summer and winter months), when many people relocate to and from Florida, consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead. This ensures your vehicle ships when you need it most.

If you need last-minute service, Sherpa Auto Transport can often accommodate rush orders, though expedited shipping may cost more.

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. This is the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from rain, sun, and road debris. This premium service costs more but is worth it for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most everyday cars shipping to or from Kendall, FL, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed transport if your car is valuable, rare, or has sentimental value you can’t replace. Check out our complete open vs enclosed guide to help you decide what’s best for your situation.
