Vero Beach, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Vero Beach, FL is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Clean your car inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process smoother.

Remove personal items. Take out toll passes, GPS devices, phone chargers, and any loose items from your car. Most carriers don’t allow personal belongings during transport.

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

Document existing damage. Take photos of any scratches, dents, or wear spots before pickup. This protects you if issues arise.

Have a spare key ready. Drivers need a working key to load and unload your vehicle safely.

For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps ensures smooth pickup from Vero Beach and safe delivery to your destination.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping from Vero Beach, FL. Every carrier in our network must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance.

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

Your vehicle is covered from pickup in Vero Beach until delivery at your destination. If you have questions about coverage, our team is here to help explain the details.

For car shipping from Vero Beach, FL, we recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance. However, booking earlier gives you better options and pricing.

Here’s why advance booking helps:

• Better carrier availability – More drivers can fit your shipment into their routes
• Lower costs – Carriers can bundle multiple vehicles from the Vero Beach area
• Flexible pickup dates – You’ll have more scheduling options

If you need rush shipping, we can often arrange pickup within 2-7 days, but expect higher rates. During busy seasons (summer and winter months when people move to/from Florida), book even earlier if possible.

The key is giving carriers time to plan efficient routes that include Vero Beach in their travel schedule.

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 uses uncovered trailers that expose your car to weather and road debris. This is the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from rain, sun, and flying debris. This premium service is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

Most Vero Beach residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles since it’s reliable and cost-effective. However, if you’re shipping a high-value car or want maximum protection from Florida’s intense sun and frequent storms, enclosed transport is worth the extra cost.

When you book your car shipment, simply provide us with your preferred pickup and delivery addresses in Vero Beach. Our experienced carriers will do their best to access these exact locations. However, some Vero Beach neighborhoods have narrow streets, low-hanging branches, or HOA restrictions that prevent large transport trucks from entering.

• A local shopping center or grocery store parking lot

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.
