Palm Beach Gardens, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Palm Beach Gardens, FL is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport. Clean your vehicle inside and out – this helps with the pre-transport inspection and makes it easier to spot any issues.

Make sure your car has between 1/4 and 1/2 tank of gas. Too much fuel adds weight, while too little could cause problems if the carrier needs to move your vehicle. Check your battery, tires, and fluids to ensure everything is in good working order.

Remove or secure any exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could be damaged. Take photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup – this creates a record of its condition.

Finally, have a spare key ready for the driver and make sure someone will be available during the pickup window. For complete details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips guide.

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

Before your Palm Beach Gardens pickup, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is valid and current. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

This comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle from pickup in Palm Beach Gardens through delivery at your destination. You can ship with confidence knowing your car is covered every mile of the journey.

For car shipping from Palm Beach Gardens, FL, we recommend booking your service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and flexible pickup dates.

Why book early? Palm Beach Gardens is well-connected to major shipping routes, but advance booking allows carriers to group your vehicle with others heading to similar destinations. This bundling keeps costs lower for everyone.

Peak season considerations: During busy periods like summer months and winter holidays, book 3-4 weeks ahead. Many snowbirds ship cars to and from Florida during these times, increasing demand.

Last-minute shipping: While we can often accommodate rush orders, expect higher prices and limited pickup windows. If you need service within a week, call us directly for expedited options.

The key is flexibility – the more notice you give us, the more pickup date options we can offer for your Palm Beach Gardens location.

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 uncovered trailers that expose your vehicle to weather and road debris. It’s the most popular choice because it costs less and works well for everyday cars.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. This shields it from rain, snow, road salt, and flying rocks. However, enclosed shipping typically costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• Classic or vintage cars
• Luxury vehicles worth over $75,000
• Custom paint jobs or modifications
• Convertibles with soft tops

For most standard vehicles shipping to or from Palm Beach Gardens, open transport is safe and budget-friendly. The weather in South Florida is generally mild, making open transport a practical choice year-round.

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

When you book with us, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses in Palm Beach Gardens. Our carrier will come to you at the scheduled time. This saves you trips to terminals or drop-off lots.

In some cases, large trucks cannot access certain Palm Beach Gardens neighborhoods due to narrow streets, low bridges, or HOA restrictions. If this happens, our driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center or gas station. This is still much more convenient than terminal-to-terminal service.

Door-to-door service costs slightly more than terminal shipping, but most customers find the convenience worth it. You get maximum convenience with minimal effort when shipping your vehicle to or from Palm Beach Gardens.

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.
