Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Riviera Beach, 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 Riviera Beach pickup, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. This protects your vehicle throughout the entire transport process.

For added protection, all our contracted carriers list Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we monitor coverage and ensure your vehicle stays protected from pickup in Riviera Beach to final delivery.

Important: While our carriers provide comprehensive coverage, we recommend reviewing your personal auto insurance policy. Some policies may have gaps during transport that additional coverage can fill.

We recommend booking your car shipping service from Riviera Beach, FL at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why advance booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and offer competitive rates
• More availability: You’ll have more carrier options during peak seasons
• Flexible scheduling: You can choose pickup dates that work best for you

Riviera Beach’s location in South Florida makes it a popular shipping hub. During busy seasons (winter months and summer), book 3-4 weeks ahead to secure your preferred dates.

Need to ship last-minute? We can often accommodate rush orders within 2-7 days, though this may cost more and limit your carrier options.

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 is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s perfectly safe for most vehicles and costs significantly less.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. This shields it from weather, dust, and road debris. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

Most Riviera Beach residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles. Consider enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has sentimental value. Both options are fully insured and reliable.

In some cases, large trucks cannot access narrow streets, apartment complexes, or areas with low-hanging branches. If this happens in your Riviera Beach neighborhood, our driver will work with you to find a safe, nearby meeting spot like a shopping center or gas station.

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.
