Tamarac, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Tamarac, 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 loose that could shift during transport.

Clean your car: Wash the exterior so you can easily spot any damage during inspection. A clean car also helps with the pre-transport inspection.

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

Document existing damage: Take photos of any scratches, dents, or other issues before pickup.

Provide a working key: Have a spare key ready for the driver.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Tamarac, FL with Sherpa Auto Transport. We require all our carriers to maintain:

• $1,000,000 in liability insurance
• $100,000 in cargo insurance

Before your Tamarac vehicle shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. This protects your car throughout the entire transport process.

For extra protection, all our contracted carriers add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their insurance policy. This means we can directly monitor coverage and ensure your vehicle stays protected from pickup in Tamarac to final delivery.

Important: While our carriers provide comprehensive coverage, we recommend checking with your personal auto insurance about any gaps during transport. Most policies cover vehicles during shipping, but it’s always smart to confirm.

For car shipping from Tamarac, FL, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, scheduling even earlier gives you the best results.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can group your car with other vehicles heading to the same area
• More flexibility: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from
• Less stress: Avoid last-minute rush fees and limited availability

During busy seasons (summer months and winter holidays), consider booking 3-4 weeks ahead. If you need rush service, we offer expedited options, but expect higher costs.

The key is planning ahead. As soon as you know your moving date from Tamarac, contact us to secure your spot and get the best rates for your car shipment.

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 safe for most vehicles and costs less.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• Classic or luxury cars
• Custom paint jobs
• High-value vehicles
• Cars needing extra protection

For most standard vehicles shipping to or from Tamarac, FL, open transport works great and saves money. See our complete open vs enclosed transport guide for more details and help choosing the right option for your move.
