Pembroke Pines, FL Car Shipping

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

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings from your car. Carriers are not insured for personal items, and extra weight can affect shipping costs.

Clean your vehicle: Wash your car inside and out. This makes it easier to document any existing damage during the inspection.

Document the condition: Take photos of your vehicle from all angles before shipping. Note any scratches, dents, or issues.

Check for leaks and mechanical issues: Make sure your car is in good working order. Fix any fluid leaks and ensure the battery is charged.

Remove or secure loose parts: Take off toll tags, GPS devices, and any aftermarket accessories like spoilers or bike racks that could get damaged.

Provide a spare key: Give the carrier a working key so they can load and unload your vehicle.

Keep fuel low: Leave only about a quarter tank of gas. This reduces weight and meets safety requirements.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Pembroke Pines, 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 your assigned 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 an extra layer of protection throughout your vehicle’s journey.

Your vehicle is covered from pickup in Pembroke Pines until delivery at 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 Pembroke Pines, FL at least 1-2 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and match your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction.

Booking early offers several benefits:

• Better pricing: More time allows carriers to optimize their routes, which can lower your cost
• More carrier options: You’ll have access to a larger pool of qualified carriers
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for you

If you need faster service, we also offer expedited shipping with as little as 24-48 hours notice, though this typically costs more.

Peak season tip: During busy periods like summer and holidays, book 3-4 weeks ahead when possible. Pembroke Pines is in South Florida, a popular snowbird destination, so demand increases from October through April.

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 open-air trailers that carry multiple vehicles at once. Your car is exposed to weather and road debris, but it’s the most affordable and popular option. Most vehicles ship this way safely.

Enclosed auto transport ships your car in a covered trailer, protecting it from weather, dust, and debris. This costs 40-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classics, exotic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most standard vehicles leaving Pembroke Pines, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed transport if your vehicle is high-value or needs extra protection. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

Yes! We offer door-to-door auto transport service for all shipments to and from Pembroke Pines, FL. This is our standard service and the most convenient option for our customers.

Here’s how it works: When you book your shipment, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in Pembroke Pines. Our assigned carrier will come directly to your home, office, or specified location to pick up your vehicle and deliver it right to your destination.

In most residential areas of Pembroke Pines, door-to-door service works perfectly. However, if your street has low-hanging trees, narrow roads, or HOA restrictions that prevent large car carriers, our driver will contact you to arrange a nearby meeting spot. This is typically a shopping center, gas station, or open parking lot within a few blocks of your address.

Door-to-door service is included in your quote at no extra charge, making your car shipping experience as easy and stress-free 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.
