Pembroke Pines, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Pembroke Pines, FL is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and anything in the glove box or trunk. Carriers are not responsible for personal items.

Clean your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Make sure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Your battery should be charged so the carrier can move your car.

Remove accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, or anything that could fall off during transport.

Document condition: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup.

For complete details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps ensures a smooth pickup and delivery process for your Pembroke Pines car shipment.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Pembroke Pines, 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 Pembroke Pines car shipment begins, we verify that:

• The carrier’s insurance policy is active and valid
• Coverage remains in effect throughout your entire transport
• Sherpa is listed as a Certificate Holder on their policy

This means you have complete protection from pickup in Pembroke Pines to delivery at your destination. Our insurance requirements exceed industry standards, giving you peace of mind during your vehicle transport.

Important: Document any existing damage with photos before pickup. While our carriers are fully insured, having clear before-and-after photos helps ensure a smooth claims process if needed.

We recommend booking your car shipping service from Pembroke Pines, FL at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability: More transport trucks serve the busy South Florida market
• Lower costs: Carriers can group your car with other vehicles heading the same direction
• Flexible scheduling: You get more pickup date options that work for your timeline

During peak seasons (summer months and winter holidays), book 3-4 weeks ahead. Pembroke Pines sits in a high-demand shipping area, so early booking ensures smooth transport.

Need last-minute service? We can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days, though expect higher rates for rush orders.

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 uncovered trailers that expose your car 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 debris. This premium service costs more but is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Pembroke Pines residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works perfectly fine. Choose enclosed transport if you own a high-value car or want maximum protection during shipping. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide for detailed comparisons and pricing.

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 also ship electric vehicles.
