Palm Beach, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Palm Beach, FL is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile objects. These items aren’t covered by insurance during transport.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process easier. Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup.

Check fluid levels and tire pressure, but keep your gas tank only 1/4 full. Remove or secure any loose exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could get damaged.

Finally, make sure you have a working key to give the driver. Disable your car alarm and note any mechanical issues.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Palm Beach, FL. All Sherpa Auto Transport carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before your Palm Beach shipment begins, 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 for extra protection.

This means your car is covered from pickup in Palm Beach through delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards to give you peace of mind during transport.

For car shipping from Palm Beach, FL, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking matters:

• Better carrier availability – More drivers can fit your shipment into their routes
• Lower costs – Carriers can bundle multiple vehicles from the Palm Beach area
• Flexible scheduling – You get more pickup date options that work for your timeline

If you need rush shipping, we can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days, but expect higher rates. For the best experience and value, book your Palm Beach car shipment as early as you know your moving dates.

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 standard trailers where your car is exposed to weather and road debris. This is the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris. This premium service typically costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• Classic or luxury vehicles
• Custom paint jobs or modifications
• High-value cars that need extra protection

For most standard vehicles shipping to or from Palm Beach, open transport works perfectly fine. However, given Palm Beach’s luxury car market, many residents prefer enclosed transport for their high-end vehicles. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers door-to-door auto transport service for Palm Beach, FL residents and visitors. This means we pick up your car from your home, office, or hotel and deliver it directly to your chosen address.

When you book with us, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our carriers will do their best to reach these exact locations.
