Lauderhill, FL Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. Carriers are not insured for personal property left 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: Make sure your vehicle runs properly and has no fluid leaks. Inform your carrier of any issues.

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

Maintain fuel level: Keep your gas tank at about a quarter full. This reduces weight while ensuring the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded.

Provide a key: Have a working key ready for the driver.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Lauderhill, FL. All carriers in our network are required to 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 is valid and active. This protects your vehicle throughout the entire journey from Lauderhill to your destination.

For added security, all contracted carriers list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage directly to ensure your vehicle stays protected.

You’ll receive a copy of the carrier’s insurance certificate before pickup. If you have questions about coverage, our team is happy to walk you through the details.

We recommend scheduling your pickup from Lauderhill, 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
• Less stress: You avoid last-minute availability issues

That said, we can often accommodate rush shipments with as little as 24-48 hours notice, though this typically costs more. If you need expedited service from Lauderhill, contact us right away to discuss your options.

Pro tip: If you’re moving during peak season (May-September) or around holidays, book 3-4 weeks ahead when possible. This ensures you get your preferred dates and the best rates.

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. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed transport. Your vehicle will be exposed to weather and road debris during transit, but carriers take precautions to secure your car safely.

Enclosed auto transport uses fully covered trailers that protect vehicles from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service typically costs 50-60% more than open transport. It’s ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, exotic sports cars, or any vehicle with custom paint or modifications.

For most standard vehicles shipping to or from Lauderhill, FL, open transport is perfectly safe and cost-effective. Choose enclosed transport if your vehicle is high-value or requires extra protection. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Lauderhill, FL. This means we’ll pick up your vehicle from your home, business, or another location you choose, and deliver it directly to your destination address.

When you book with us, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will do their best to access both locations. However, some Lauderhill neighborhoods have narrow streets, low-hanging trees, or HOA restrictions that may prevent large car carriers from entering. If this happens, don’t worry—our driver will contact you to arrange a convenient nearby meeting spot, like a shopping center parking lot or gas station.

Door-to-door service saves you time and hassle. You won’t need to drive to a terminal or drop-off location. We handle the logistics so you can focus on your move.

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.
