Ormond Beach, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Ormond Beach, 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 insurance during transit.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car is in good running condition with no leaks. The battery should be charged.

Maintain low fuel: Keep your gas tank at about 1/4 full. This reduces weight and meets safety requirements.

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

Remove or secure accessories: Take off or secure any exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged.

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

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Ormond Beach, FL. Every carrier in our network must 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 current. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection and peace of mind.

Your shipping quote includes this insurance coverage at no extra cost. If you’d like to review the carrier’s insurance details before transport, just ask—we’re happy to provide that information.

We recommend scheduling your pickup from Ormond Beach at least 1-2 weeks in advance for the best rates and carrier availability.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan routes more efficiently and offer competitive rates
• More options: You’ll have access to more available carriers traveling your route
• Flexible timing: Earlier scheduling gives you more control over pickup dates

That said, we can often arrange expedited pickups in as little as 24-48 hours if you need faster service. Keep in mind that rush orders typically cost more due to the immediate scheduling requirements.

Best practice: Book as soon as you know your moving dates. This gives carriers time to bundle your vehicle with other shipments heading the same direction, which keeps costs down and ensures smoother logistics.

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 affordable option. Your vehicle is loaded onto an open-air trailer alongside other cars, exposed to weather and road conditions. This method is safe, reliable, and costs significantly less—making it ideal for most standard vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport provides full protection inside a covered trailer, shielding your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. This option costs 50-60% more than open transport but is worth considering for luxury cars, classic vehicles, exotic models, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most Ormond Beach residents shipping everyday vehicles, open transport offers excellent value and security. However, if you’re transporting a high-value or collector car, enclosed transport provides peace of mind. Learn more in our detailed open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

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

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

In some cases, large car carriers may not be able to access certain streets in Ormond Beach due to low-hanging trees, narrow roads, or tight turns. If this happens, don’t worry—your driver will contact you to arrange a nearby meeting spot, such as a parking lot or gas station. This is rare, but we always prioritize safety and follow local regulations.

Door-to-door service saves you time and eliminates the need to drive to a terminal. It’s the easiest way to ship your car!

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.
