Pompano Beach, FL Car Shipping

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

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing damage with photos. This helps with the pre-transport inspection.

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and loose items. These aren’t covered by carrier insurance and can shift during transit.

Check fluid levels and tire pressure: Ensure your car is in good running condition. Fix any leaks before shipping.

Disable alarms: Turn off your car alarm to avoid issues during transport.

Provide a key: Have a spare key ready for the driver. Keep only a quarter tank of gas to reduce weight.

Remove or secure accessories: Take off custom antennas, spoilers, or bike racks that could be damaged.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Pompano Beach, FL. All carriers in our network are required to 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 policy is active and in good standing. This ensures your vehicle is protected throughout the entire journey from Pompano Beach.

For added security, all contracted carriers must list Sherpa Auto Transport as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This gives you extra peace of mind knowing your vehicle is covered by professional-grade insurance from pickup to delivery.

Our quotes are all-inclusive, so insurance coverage is already included in your price—no hidden fees or surprise costs.

We recommend scheduling your car shipping pickup from Pompano Beach at least 1-2 weeks in advance for the best results.

Booking early gives carriers more time to plan efficient routes and combine your vehicle with other shipments heading in the same direction. This often leads to better pricing and more flexible pickup windows.

That said, we understand plans change. If you need faster service, we can often accommodate rush shipments with 2-5 days notice, though this may come at a premium price.

Best practice: Book as soon as you know your moving dates. The more flexibility you can offer on pickup dates, the easier it is to find a carrier and secure competitive rates.

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 during transit. This is the most common and affordable option, used for about 90% of all car shipments.

Enclosed auto transport uses fully covered trailers that protect your vehicle from the elements. Your car travels in a secure, climate-controlled environment away from weather, dust, and road debris.

Key differences:

• Cost: Enclosed transport costs 50-60% more than open transport
• Protection: Enclosed offers maximum protection; open provides basic safety
• Availability: Open carriers are more common and schedule faster
• Best for: Open works for most standard vehicles; enclosed is ideal for luxury cars, classics, exotic vehicles, or custom paint jobs

For most Pompano Beach residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport is safe and cost-effective. Choose enclosed if you’re shipping a high-value vehicle that needs extra protection. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details.
