The Hammocks, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from The Hammocks, FL is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile objects. Clean your vehicle thoroughly – this helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection.

Make sure your car has between 1/4 and 1/2 tank of gas. Remove or secure loose exterior items like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could get damaged. Have a spare key ready for the driver, as they’ll need to move your vehicle on and off the carrier.

Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. This creates a record of its condition. Finally, disable your car alarm to avoid issues during transport. For a complete checklist, visit our Vehicle Shipping Tips page for detailed preparation guidelines.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from The Hammocks, FL. Every carrier in our network must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

Before we assign your vehicle to any carrier, we verify their insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy. This gives you extra protection during transport.

Our quotes include this insurance coverage at no extra cost to you. You can ship your car from The Hammocks with peace of mind knowing it’s protected from pickup to delivery.

For car shipping from The Hammocks, FL, we recommend booking your pickup service at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure competitive rates and reliable carriers.

Here’s why early booking matters:

• Better pricing: Carriers can plan efficient routes and bundle shipments
• More carrier options: Popular routes from South Florida fill up quickly
• Flexible scheduling: You’ll have more pickup date options to choose from

During peak seasons (summer months and winter holidays), consider booking 4-6 weeks ahead. The Hammocks’ location in Miami-Dade County is busy year-round, so early planning ensures smoother transport.

Need last-minute service? We can often accommodate rush shipments within 3-7 days, though rates may be higher and carrier selection more limited.

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 cost-effective option. Your vehicle rides on an open trailer alongside other cars, exposed to weather and road debris. This method works great for most everyday vehicles and costs significantly less.

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

For residents of The Hammocks, FL, most people choose open transport for reliable daily drivers. However, if you’re shipping a high-value vehicle or want maximum protection during transport, enclosed shipping provides peace of mind. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide to help you decide which option fits your needs and budget.

Yes, Sherpa Auto Transport offers convenient door-to-door auto transport service for residents of The Hammocks, FL. When you book your car shipment, simply provide your pickup and delivery addresses. Our professional carriers will come directly to your location to collect your vehicle and deliver it right to your destination.

In most cases, we can pick up and deliver directly at your home or office. However, some residential areas in The Hammocks may have narrow streets or low-hanging branches that make it difficult for large transport trucks to navigate safely. If this happens, don’t worry – our carrier will work with you to find a convenient nearby location like a shopping center, gas station, or open parking lot.

This door-to-door service saves you time and hassle compared to terminal-to-terminal shipping, where you’d need to drop off and pick up your car at specific facilities. With Sherpa Auto Transport, we bring the service to you, making your car shipping experience as smooth 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.
