Ocoee, FL Car Shipping

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

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing damage with photos.

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items. These aren’t covered by carrier insurance.

Check for leaks: Make sure your car has no fluid leaks and the battery is secure.

Disable alarms: Turn off car alarms to avoid issues during transport.

Maintain fuel level: Keep your gas tank at about 1/4 full. This reduces weight while providing enough fuel for loading and unloading.

Remove accessories: Take off custom antennas, spoilers, or bike racks that could get damaged.

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Ocoee, FL. Every carrier in our network must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your shipment begins, we verify that the carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

Your vehicle is covered from pickup in Ocoee through delivery to your destination. If you’d like to review the carrier’s insurance certificate before transport, just ask—we’re happy to provide it.

We recommend scheduling your pickup from Ocoee, FL at least 1-2 weeks in advance for the best results. However, booking earlier gives you more options and better rates.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: More time allows carriers to plan efficient routes through Ocoee
• Lower costs: Last-minute bookings often cost more due to limited options
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date choices that fit your timeline

If you need faster service, we can often arrange pickups within 2-5 days. Just keep in mind that expedited shipping typically costs more.

Peak season tip: During summer months and holidays, book 3-4 weeks ahead when possible. These busy times see higher demand for car shipping services.

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.

The main difference is protection and cost. Open transport uses an open-air trailer where your vehicle is exposed to weather and road elements—it’s the most common and affordable option. Enclosed transport ships your car in a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and debris.

Open transport costs less and works great for most everyday vehicles. It’s safe, reliable, and how dealerships ship new cars.

Enclosed transport costs 50-60% more but is worth it for luxury cars, classics, exotic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs. It gives you maximum protection and peace of mind.

For most Ocoee residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport is the smart choice. If you’re moving a high-value or special car, enclosed is the way to go. Check out our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for a detailed comparison.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service to and from Ocoee, FL. This is our most popular shipping option because it’s incredibly convenient.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carrier will come directly to your home, business, or specified location in Ocoee to pick up your vehicle. When delivery time comes, they’ll bring it right to your destination address.

Keep in mind that large car carriers need adequate space to operate safely. Most residential streets in Ocoee work fine, but if your location has narrow roads, low-hanging trees, or tight turns, the driver may ask to meet you at a nearby open area like a shopping center or parking lot. This ensures both your vehicle’s safety and compliance with local traffic regulations.

Our team will coordinate all the details with you and the carrier to make pickup and delivery as smooth as possible.

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.
