Ocoee, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Ocoee, FL is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car – this includes toll passes, GPS devices, phone chargers, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This helps our inspection team document any existing damage accurately. Take photos of your car from all angles for your records.

Check fluid levels and tire pressure, but keep your gas tank only 1/4 full to reduce weight. Remove or secure any external accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged.

Make sure you have a working key available for the driver – they’ll need to load and unload your vehicle. If your car has an alarm, know how to disable it quickly.

For complete preparation details, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps ensures smooth pickup and delivery for your Ocoee car shipment.

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

Here’s what protects your vehicle:

• $1,000,000 minimum liability insurance – Covers damages caused by the carrier
• $100,000 minimum cargo insurance – Protects your vehicle’s value during transport
• Verified coverage – We confirm each carrier’s insurance is active before your Ocoee pickup

For added protection, all our contracted carriers list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policies. This means we can directly verify coverage and handle any claims if needed.

For car shipping from Ocoee, FL, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and reliable carriers.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently when they have advance notice
• More options: Popular routes from Central Florida fill up quickly
• Flexible dates: You’ll have backup options if weather or other delays occur

If you need service sooner, we can often accommodate rush orders within 3-7 days, though this may cost more. During peak seasons (summer and winter), book even earlier when possible.

Pro tip: Contact us as soon as you know your moving date. We’ll help you find the perfect carrier for your Ocoee pickup!

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 uses open-air trailers where your car is exposed to weather and road debris. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road hazards. This premium service costs more but is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

Most Ocoee residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles since it’s reliable and budget-friendly. Consider enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value you can’t replace.
