Kissimmee, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Kissimmee, FL is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, electronics, and any fragile objects. Clean your vehicle inside and out so you can easily spot any damage during inspection.

Make sure your car has less than a quarter tank of gas to reduce weight and meet safety rules. Remove or secure any loose exterior parts like spoilers, antennas, or bike racks that could get damaged during transport.

Take photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup. This helps document its condition. Also, make sure you have a working key to give the driver – they’ll need it to load and unload your car.

For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps will help ensure your car arrives safely at its destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Kissimmee, FL. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your Kissimmee car shipment, 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 for extra protection.

This means your vehicle is covered from pickup in Kissimmee through delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during transport.

We recommend booking your car shipping service from Kissimmee, FL at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and preferred pickup dates.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can bundle your vehicle with others heading to the same destination
• More scheduling options: You’ll have first pick of available pickup windows
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rush fees and limited availability

Peak season tip: During busy moving months (summer and early fall), book 3-4 weeks ahead. Kissimmee sees heavy snowbird traffic from October through April, so plan accordingly.

Need to ship sooner? We can often accommodate rush orders, but expect higher costs and fewer carrier 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 transport is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs less.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. This option is best for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most Kissimmee residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed if your car is valuable or you want extra protection. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door service for Kissimmee, FL! This means we pick up your car from your home or office and deliver it right to your new address.

Here’s how it works: When you book with us, just tell us where you want pickup and delivery. Our carrier will come to those exact spots if possible. Sometimes in Kissimmee, narrow streets or low-hanging trees might make it tricky for our big trucks to reach your door. If that happens, don’t worry – we’ll find a safe nearby spot like a shopping center or gas station.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle. You won’t need to drive to a terminal or arrange extra transportation. Most Kissimmee locations work great for door-to-door pickup and delivery.

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.
