Lehigh Acres, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Lehigh Acres, FL is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car – this includes electronics, documents, and loose items that could shift during transport.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage before shipping. Take photos of your car from all angles as proof of its condition.

Make sure your car has between 1/4 and 1/2 tank of gas – enough to drive on and off the carrier, but not so much that it adds unnecessary weight. Check that your battery is charged and your tires are properly inflated.

Remove or secure any loose exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged. Disable your car alarm and provide a working key to the driver.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Lehigh Acres, FL with Sherpa Auto Transport.

Every carrier in our network must carry:

• $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 Lehigh Acres 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, giving you extra protection.

Important: While rare, if damage occurs during transport, you’ll file a claim directly with the carrier’s insurance company. We’ll help guide you through this process to ensure a smooth resolution.

This comprehensive coverage is included in every quote at no extra cost to you.

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

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability – More trucks service your route
• Lower costs – Carriers can plan efficient routes
• Flexible pickup dates – You get preferred time slots
• Route bundling – Your car ships with others going the same direction

If you need last-minute shipping (less than a week), we can still help. However, expect limited options and higher rates due to rush scheduling.

Peak season tip: During busy times like summer and holidays, book 3-4 weeks ahead for the best service from Lehigh Acres.

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 budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe and reliable for most vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. This costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris.

Choose open transport if: You want to save money and have a standard daily-driver vehicle.

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

Most Lehigh Acres residents choose open transport since it’s cost-effective and safe. For detailed comparisons and pricing, check our complete open vs enclosed transport guide.
